Why congressional stock trades are watched
Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress must publicly disclose most securities transactions within 45 days. These filings are monitored by transparency advocates and the public to ensure lawmakers are not trading on non-public information. The disclosures do not indicate the specific number of shares purchased or the exact dollar amount, only a range. All trades reported here were made weeks before the filing date.
Important note on disclosure ranges
All transaction amounts are reported in ranges as required by law. The actual dollar values may fall anywhere between $1,001 and $15,000 per trade. The trades were executed on the dates listed and published on October 1, 2026, meaning the public learned of them 17 to 23 days after each transaction.
