Hern's fundraising relies heavily on PAC and committee sources, which account for 59 percent of his $7.2 million in direct contributions, while individual donors provide 41 percent. Industry-tied contributions show a diverse donor base led by lawyers and lobbyists at 18 percent, followed by insurance, health services, retail, and oil and gas each representing smaller shares; his individual donor base similarly reflects concentration among legal professionals, real estate, and securities sectors. Over his time in office, Hern has filed 574 stock trade disclosures and maintains a recorded voting history of 336 votes.

HOW WE ESTIMATE THIS
Estimated holdings start from the 2025 annual financial disclosure (each stock listed as a value range), rolled forward by trades disclosed since.
Everything is a range or estimate. The STOCK Act requires only broad dollar brackets (e.g. "$1,001–$15,000"), never exact amounts, share counts, or prices. Figures shown are midpoints.
"Filed after" is the gap between the trade and its disclosure. Over 45 days (⚠) is outside the STOCK Act's filing window.
Source. U.S. House Clerk periodic transaction reports & annual financial disclosures (public record). Not real-time; profit/loss can't be computed from disclosures.
