In plain language
Of 61 disclosed trades, 0 were flagged by the site's published rules.
None of these trades met the flagging rules. That is the ordinary result — most trades, by most members, are unremarkable.
Across the whole database, congressional trading beats the market by close to nothing on average, and only slightly more trades look unusual than chance alone would produce. Most members, most of the time, are unremarkable. That is the backdrop for anything you read here. A flag is a prompt to look at the record, never a finding about a person.
Seat & district history
| Seat | Congresses | Served | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Senator, ND | 112th–118th | 2011–2029 | first seat |
District numbers change when a state is redistricted, so a renumbering here is not necessarily a move — the boundaries were redrawn around the member. Term records come from the public congress-legislators dataset.

The published roster covers only the sitting Congress, so earlier assignments are reconstructed from the dated version history of that same public dataset, sampled monthly back to 2012. Observed is the span across which we actually saw the seat held — it is evidence of tenure, not a precise start and end date, and a seat that changed hands between two monthly samples may be dated up to a month out. Committees with no history recorded are absent because no snapshot showed them, which is not evidence the member held no seat.
