Congress Edition

Week of 2026-09-14

One hundred sixteen congressional stock trades were disclosed this week, with two House Democrats alone accounting for 95 of them as selling dominated across Consumer Cyclical and Technology sectors.

The Big Picture

The vast majority of this week's activity came from the House, where Rep. April Delaney of Maryland and Rep. Gilbert Cisneros of California together filed 95 of the 116 total transactions. Delaney's disclosures included the week's largest single trade — a sale of a construction-materials stock worth as much as $500,000 — while Cisneros filed 55 trades spanning sectors from defense to healthcare to real estate. Across all members, Consumer Cyclical and Technology shares were the most frequently sold, while Technology and Industrials drew the most purchases.

By the Numbers

Late to File

No members disclosed late-filed trades this week under the 45-day STOCK Act window.

All-time: Across 22,667 total filings in the dataset, 12.5 percent — or 2,824 filings — have been submitted late; the members with the highest individual counts are Rep. Sheri Biggs (171 late filings), Rep. Julia Letlow (136), Rep. Valerie Hoyle (114), Sen. Thomas H. Tuberville (108), and Rep. Alan Armstrong (96). Late disclosure is a timing matter under the STOCK Act, not an assertion of improper trading.

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.
