David Trone

Representative David Trone (D-MD) has served Maryland's 6th congressional district since 2019, bringing a distinctive business background as co-founder of Total Wine & More, the nation's largest independent wine retailer. A self-made entrepreneur and philanthropist, Trone is known for his advocacy on mental health, addiction treatment, and criminal justice reform, drawing from both his business experience and personal family challenges with substance abuse. His congressional trading activity has been notably modest, with just 5 disclosed transactions between October 2019 and November 2023, totaling an estimated $117K to $280K across blue-chip holdings including Apple, Morgan Stanley, PepsiCo, and VF Corporation. With zero trades recorded in recent months, Trone maintains one of the quieter trading profiles in Congress, though his substantial personal wealth from his retail empire—estimated in the hundreds of millions—suggests his disclosed congressional trades represent only a fraction of his broader investment portfolio.
