U.S. Congressman for Digital Assets and Infrastructure Captures 'Buy the Dip' in Nasdaq and EMCOR

According to a recent disclosure, Representative April McClain Delaney of Maryland’s 6th Congressional District repeatedly purchased shares of Nasdaq, Inc. (NASDAQ: NDAQ) and EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) throughout March. The filing shows that both names saw multiple trades in the $1,001–$15,000 range, implying total investments of at least tens of thousands of dollars in each company.

Nasdaq, Inc. is a leading exchange operator that runs the Nasdaq Stock Market and provides derivatives, indices, market data and trading technology. In 2025, it delivered record annual revenue of $5.2 billion, a year-over-year increase of approximately 12–13 percent. After hitting an all-time closing high of $100.66 on January 16, its share price retreated into the high-$80s by early April—a correction of more than 10 percent from the peak—yet it still retains a substantial portion of its multi-year gains. Targeting growing global demand for U.S. markets, Nasdaq plans to introduce 23-hour trading (Monday through Friday) in the second half of 2026 and expand trading in tokenized securities, positioning itself at the forefront of digital-asset and market-structure regulation debates.

EMCOR Group is a U.S.–based infrastructure specialist responsible for electrical and mechanical construction, as well as facility operations and maintenance. It has secured numerous large-scale projects in data centers, semiconductors and water treatment. In its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings release, EMCOR reported record annual revenue and backlog, with its order book swelling to about $13.2 billion—driven largely by data-center and water-infrastructure projects. Following those results, the stock climbed from roughly $700 in early March to the mid-$750 range by early April, marking a several-percent gain over a short period and approaching its 52-week high in the $830 area.

Representative McClain Delaney serves on the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Commodities, Digital Assets and Rural Development, and on the Science, Space and Technology Committee’s Research and Technology Subcommittee. In those roles, she influences policy on agriculture, digital assets, technology and infrastructure. She has advocated for increased EPA and climate-science funding, tax incentives for decarbonization technologies, deregulatory measures for small businesses, and relaxed rules on infrastructure and housing construction. Critics argue that her positions—supporting federal infrastructure investment and data-center and clean-energy demand (key to EMCOR), and shaping digital-asset and market-structure regulations (core to Nasdaq)—create potential conflicts of interest. Although she asserts that all her assets are managed by third parties and that she does not trade directly, her filings show over 200 individual equity transactions during her roughly one-year tenure. This has prompted online watchdog groups and civic organizations to call for a complete ban on members of Congress trading individual stocks or the mandatory use of blind trusts.
