Members of the House of Representatives make an annual salary of $174,000, and the meteoric rise of Sherrill's net worth comes as a result of the exemplary performance of her stock portfolio.
Though it remains controversial, members of Congress are allowed to trade stocks as long as all transactions are assiduously reported within 30 days under the rules of the 2012 STOCK Act. Sherrill is one of the chamber's more prolific traders, with hundreds listed on her reports since her election. In December, she paid a $400 fine after failing to disclose up to $350,000 in stock sales.
Most eyebrow-raising are the hundreds of trades Sherrill made during the coronavirus pandemic. As a member of Congress sitting on the House Armed Services Committee, she had access to information surrounding the unfolding pandemic not available to the general public.
