Congress Edition

Week of 2026-07-06

Seventy-three trades were disclosed this week, with Rep. Gilbert Cisneros's 62-transaction batch filing dominating the ledger and drawing ten potential conflict-of-interest flags.

The Big Picture

Rep. Gilbert Cisneros (D-CA) accounted for the overwhelming majority of this week's disclosures in a single filing, touching sectors from healthcare and technology to consumer goods and industrials. The remaining activity came from four other members, including a large corporate-bond purchase by Sen. John Curtis (R-UT). A separate batch of trades from Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) arrived more than a year and a half past the legal deadline.

By the Numbers

Notable potential conflicts this week:

Late to File

Under the STOCK Act, members must disclose a trade within 45 days of the transaction. This week, Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) disclosed five trades all dated January 10, 2025 — each 537 days overdue:

Late disclosure is a timing matter under the law, not an allegation of wrongdoing.

All-time: Across 21,393 total filings tracked in this dataset, 2,451 (11.5%) arrived outside the 45-day window. The members with the most late filings on record: Rep. Sheri Biggs (171), Rep. Julia Letlow (136), Rep. Valerie Hoyle (114), Sen. Thomas H. Tuberville (105), and Rep. Patrick Fallon (89).

The Fine Print

Data derived from public STOCK Act disclosures. Disclosure date is not the trade date (filings lag 30-45 days). Dollar figures are disclosed ranges, not exact amounts. Conflict-of-interest flags are heuristic "potential overlaps," not assertions of wrongdoing. Not investment advice.
