Claimant: Club for Growth Action
Claim: U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor “repeatedly” violated “a law aimed at stopping members of Congress from insider trading.”
Rating: MOSTLY FALSE
Explanation: Castor filed two reports in 2017 that disclosed three stock trades late. However, the ad’s principal 2021 example resulted from an erroneous filing that Castor corrected within days, showing the trades had actually been reported on time. PolitiFact found no evidence that she engaged in insider trading or misused confidential information.
