Charlie Joseph Crist

Charlie Joseph Crist served as a U.S. Representative for Florida's 13th congressional district from 2017 to 2022, bringing an unusual political trajectory as a former Republican Governor of Florida (2007-2011) who later switched to the Democratic Party. Known for his moderate positions and multiple gubernatorial campaigns, Crist left Congress in 2022 to unsuccessfully challenge Ron DeSantis for the governorship. His congressional trading activity was notably limited, with just 10 disclosed transactions concentrated in a single month (February 2017) totaling an estimated $108K to $320K, primarily in blue-chip stocks including Apple, General Motors, JPMorgan, and pharmaceutical holdings like GlaxoSmithKline. Since that initial burst of activity upon entering Congress, Crist has maintained a remarkably quiet trading profile with no recent transactions, suggesting either a shift to passive investments or minimal portfolio management during his tenure.
