Financial Disclosure Spotlight UI

[ryparker]

Summary

Create a prominent, user-friendly interface to display congressional stock trades and financial disclosures.

Problem

PTR (Periodic Transaction Report) data collection is in progress (Epic #255), but there is no plan for a compelling user interface. This data has high public interest and viral potential.

Proposed Solution

Core Features

1. Stock Trade Feed

   • Recent trades across all members
   • Filter by member, party, stock, date
   • Trade size and type (buy/sell)

2. Member Financial Profile

   • Trading activity for individual member
   • Top holdings
   • Trading frequency
   • Historical patterns

3. Conflict of Interest Alerts

   • Flag when member votes on bill affecting stock they own
   • Committee assignments vs holdings
   • Industry exposure analysis

4. Leaderboards

   • Most active traders
   • Largest trades
   • Best/worst performers (if calculable)

5. Stock-Centric View

   • "Which members own NVDA?"
   • "Who traded defense stocks before vote?"

Viral Potential

• "Your Rep bought $50k of Pfizer before vaccine vote"
• Shareable stock trade cards
• Media partnership opportunities

• Add PTR data to EO profiles (stock trades) #134 - Add PTR data to EO profiles

Success Metrics

• Page views

• Media mentions
• Search traffic for "congress stock trades"

Depends on Epic #255 (PTR & Financial Disclosure) for data collection. This issue covers the user-facing UI for that data.
