Georgia Sen. David Perdue Traded 2,600 Stocks in One Term
---------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, Republican Senator David Perdue has traded stocks, bonds and
mutual funds nearly 2,600 times over the past six years - often in
companies within his Senate committees' oversight. That's according to
The New York Times, which reports Perdue has been the Senate's most
prolific stock trader by far, sometimes reporting 20 or more
transactions in a single day. Perdue faces Democratic challenger Jon
Ossoff in a January 5 runoff election in Georgia that will determine the
balance of power in the Senate.
