Benzinga - Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) has made over 1,200 trades in the past three years, with his top two traded stocks being Microsoft (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AAPL), reported by Capitol Trades. Gottheimer is a member of the House Financial Services Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee.

According to a financial disclosure filed on Aug. 13, 2022, Gottheimer and his spouse transacted up to $15,000 of Independent Bank Corporation (NASDAQ: IBCP) stock in November 2021, but waited until August 2022 to report the trade.
