Bad news for former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi. The California Democrat just lost another title as she embarks into retirement from Congress.
She’s now the former “Queen of the Stocks.”
As she gives up power, Pelosi is suddenly no longer on top the throne for having a miraculous best stock portfolio performance among all of Congress.
Funny, isn’t it?
According to numbers by alternative data platform Quiver Quantitative, which has been tracking Congress members’ stock trades, Long Island Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi led all Democrats with the best stock portfolio performance of 2025 — a title Pelosi held for a long time.
Suozzi’s 35% portfolio windfall easily outpaced every major index, including the Dow’s 14% return, 17% for the S&P 500, and 21% for the Nasdaq, according to exclusive data provided by Quiver Quantitative and first published by The New York Post.
Most of it came from his outsized position in tech giant NVIDIA — up 40% for the year and where he’s got an estimated $8.2 million invested.
He ended the year with a $9.5 million stock portfolio — a gain of $2.5 million.
“Some members seemed to spend more time managing their portfolios than they did at their day job on Capitol Hill,” Quiver Quantitative CEO Christopher Kardatzke told The Post.
“We have seen members making day trades, options trades, and – for the first time ever – meme coin trades.”
Despite Suozzi’s windfall, the Long Island lawmaker has been under scrutiny for his finances for quite some time.
Suozzi, who sits on the subcommittees on tax and oversight and was elected in 2016, previously faced a House Ethics probe into his trades.
According to The Post, Suozzi is notorious for his late filings and breaking disclosure rules — once being flagged for failing to disclose as many as 300 trades.
However, Souzzi scoffed at concerns about his trading habits.
“Quite frankly, we have a lot going on in Congress. I have a lot of other stuff going on. And it’s just not — ethics is a big priority for me. But the… some of the formalities are not necessarily something I make a priority of,” Suozzi told the House Committee on Ethics in 2022 when it was investigating his stock trades.
Souzzi’s chief of staff Matt Fried said several of the investments his boss made were done before he took office.
“He supports bipartisan legislation making its way through Congress right now to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks,” Fried told The Post.
Souzzi’s political opponents have slammed him for his suspicious stock wins, even being mocked as “the nation’s first stock picking savant,” by fellow Long Islander and Pro-Trump GOPer Greg Hach — who’s trying to unseat him in the 2026 midterms.
“Fellow Americans, a once in a generation wizard is in our midst and we must take immediate advantage of it,” Hach told reporters out last month, mocking the fact that Suozzi’s net worth jumped from $2.2 million to $12.6 million in his nine years in the House.
“Tom Suozzi got rich in Congress, while his constituents got poorer. If that doesn’t say it all, nothing does,” Hach told The Post this week.
As for Pelosi, who announced she’s retiring at the end of her term in January 2027, she brought in 18% on her portfolio in 2025, a sharp decline from the 54% she raked in last year when she beat out every major hedge fund.
According to public data, Pelosi’s portfolio was held back by her $12 million position in cloud company Salesforce, which was down about 20% in 2025.
The news of continued profits from high-profile lawmakers comes amid growing calls to ban Congress from trading individual stocks, arguing lawmakers have access to market-moving information ahead of the public.
