Week of 2026-08-03
Just two stock trades were disclosed this week by House members, a notably quiet period bookended by a purchase in a global chipmaker and a share exchange tied to an aerospace spin-off.
The Big Picture
Disclosure activity was unusually light this week, with only two House Democrats filing trades. Both filings were submitted on July 31 and cover transactions made in late June and mid-July. Neither trade drew a potential conflict-of-interest flag, and no members filed late.
This Week's Notable Trades
Cleo Fields (D-LA)
- Bought a $1,001–$15,000 position in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM) on July 10, 2026. Taiwan Semiconductor is the world's largest contract chipmaker — it manufactures the advanced processors used by companies such as Apple, Nvidia, and AMD. Its stock is widely followed as a measure of global demand for semiconductors.
Kelly Louise Morrison (D-MN)
- Exchanged a $15,001–$50,000 position in Honeywell Aerospace Inc. (HONA) on June 29, 2026. An "exchange" in a disclosure typically refers to a conversion of shares rather than a conventional purchase or sale — for example, when a company spins off a division and existing shareholders receive stock in the new entity. Honeywell Aerospace Inc. is a major supplier of avionics, engines, and systems for both commercial and defense aviation.

Late to File
No late filings this week. Both disclosures were submitted within the STOCK Act's 45-day window.
All-time: Across 21,807 total disclosures tracked in this data set, 2,559 — or 11.7% — were filed after the legal deadline. The members with the most cumulative late filings are Rep. Sheri Biggs (171), Rep. Julia Letlow (136), Rep. Valerie Hoyle (114), Sen. Thomas H. Tuberville (105), and Rep. Alan Armstrong (96). Late filing is a disclosure timing issue; it does not necessarily indicate wrongdoing.
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.
