Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz has disclosed the purchase of over $1,000 worth of Stratasys (SSYS) stock on August 15, 2025. This marks the first reported political trade in Stratasys shares in recent years and has drawn attention to the intersection of policymaking and the 3D printing industry [1][2].

Stratasys, a 3D printing solutions provider, specializes in connected polymer-based 3D printing systems for markets including automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer products. The company's product suite includes FDM, polyjet, stereolithography, and selective absorption fusion printers, as well as the GrabCAD software platform for additive manufacturing operations [1][2].

The purchase comes amidst significant lobbying efforts by Stratasys. The company has spent $160,000 lobbying Congress so far in 2025, focusing on Department of Defense appropriations for 3D printing technologies, STEM education funding, additive manufacturing technologies, and certification initiatives [1][2].

Wasserman Schultz's stock trades are subject to the STOCK Act, which prohibits members of Congress from using private information for personal gain and expanded disclosure requirements for lawmakers. According to a report, Wasserman Schultz made 22 stock trades totaling over $22,000 in the past three years, including purchases of Ichor Holdings and sales of Viasat and AngioDynamics [1][2].

The disclosure of Wasserman Schultz's stock purchase in Stratasys raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and the influence of lobbying efforts on policymaking. As this is a developing story, further details may emerge as more information becomes available.
