Congress Edition

Week of 2026-09-28

Six trades were disclosed this week by three House Republicans, headlined by a pair of large corporate bond transactions in a major Canadian bank.

The Big Picture

Disclosures this week came from just three members of the House, all Republicans. The largest transactions belonged to Rep. Sheri Biggs of South Carolina, who disclosed two separate positions in a Bank of Nova Scotia corporate bond — each valued between $500,001 and $1,000,000. Rep. Richard W. Allen of Georgia filed three trades from mid-August in a single disclosure, rotating out of a pest-control company and into two semiconductor firms. Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas filed his disclosure just one day after his trade, an unusually prompt turnaround.

By the Numbers

Late to File

Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress must disclose a personal trade within 45 days of the transaction. No filings disclosed this week were late.

All-time: Across all 22,712 disclosures on record, approximately 12.4% — or 2,826 filings — were submitted past the 45-day deadline. The members with the most cumulative late filings on record 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; it does not 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.
