In addition to making millions, Sherrill has come under fire for failing to properly disclose her stock trades, resulting in her paying a fine for violations of the STOCK Act.

“She also sold shares of Alphabet and Meta in 2019 while she was the chairwoman of the oversight subcommittee of the Science, Space and Technology Committee”
Sherrill says her stock trades do not benefit from inside information, but the New York Times reported there were at least 12 potential conflicts of interest in trades she made and the committees she served on as of 2022.
“Ms. Sherrill reported both buying and selling shares of several defense contractors while she was a member of the House Armed Services Committee”
These 97 Members of Congress Reported Trades in Companies Influenced by Their Committees

the trading patterns uncovered by the Times analysis underscore longstanding concerns about the potential for conflicts of interest or use of inside information by members of Congress, government ethics experts say. Times reporters analyzed transactions between 2019 and 2021 using a database of members’ financial filings called Capitol Trades created by 2iQ Research. They matched the trades against relevant committee assignments and the dates of hearings and congressional investigations.
