WASHINGTON — House members listed 3,537 stock, bond and fund transactions in the electronic periodic transaction reports they filed this year through Nov. 6, with a combined reported value of $142.5 million to $533.2 million, according to a Washington Inquisitor review of filings posted by the Office of the Clerk of the House.
The trades were reported by 98 members, 58 Republicans and 40 Democrats. Democrats reported more transactions, 2,146 to 1,391, largely because of a handful of very active filers, while Republicans reported the larger upper bound of value, $305.1 million to Democrats’ $228.2 million, driven by a few large entries.
Two Democrats account for more than a third of all the transactions. Rep. Gil Cisneros of California listed 940 trades across 10 reports, and Rep. April McClain Delaney of Maryland, whose 6th District includes Montgomery County suburbs of Washington, listed 339 across nine. Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) was third with 256, 223 of them in a single report filed in January that covered trades going back to October 2024.
The review also found 20 original reports, filed by 11 Republicans and nine Democrats, that list at least one trade more than 60 days before the report was filed, well past the 45-day outer limit the STOCK Act sets for reporting a transaction. Together they account for 285 trades. Letlow’s January report accounts for 209 of them.
How the review worked
The Clerk’s 2026 financial disclosure index, downloaded Nov. 10, lists 460 periodic transaction reports filed from Jan. 1 through Nov. 6. The Inquisitor extracted the transaction lines from the 397 electronically filed reports that contain machine-readable trades. The remaining 63 reports, mostly handwritten or scanned paper filings, were not tabulated, so the totals here are a floor.
Members report each trade in a value range, such as $1,001 to $15,000, rather than an exact amount, so this story sums the low and high ends of those ranges. Where a filer listed a trade as “over” a dollar amount, only that floor was counted. Identical lines repeated in amended reports were counted once, which removed 119 duplicates. Party and district come from the current House roster. The data covers trades by members, their spouses and dependent children: 2,100 transactions were listed as the member’s own, 557 as joint, 502 as a spouse’s and 378 as a dependent child’s.
Because reports filed in 2026 can include trades made earlier, 728 of the transactions have trade dates before Jan. 1, 2026, including 394 in December 2025.

Cisneros’s trades were nearly evenly split, with 535 purchases and 402 full or partial sales. McClain Delaney reported 196 sales and 142 purchases. Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), who filed 13 reports, listed 156 sales and only 25 purchases. Rep. David Taylor (R-Ohio) filed the most reports of any member, 17.
The largest reported values came from members who reported fewer, bigger trades.

|---|---|---|---|
| Jefferson Shreve | R-Ind.-6 | 9 | $33,000,009–$165,000,000 |

Rep. Jefferson Shreve (R-Ind.) listed nine transactions with a combined range of $33 million to $165 million. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reported 26 transactions, all listed as her husband’s, with a combined range of $22.2 million to $95.4 million. Rep.

Party breakdown
| Party | Members filing | Transactions | Purchases | Sales (full and partial) | Reported value range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Democrats | 40 | 2,146 | 1,104 | 1,023 | $74,794,146–$228,156,600 |
| Republicans | 58 | 1,391 | 626 | 745 | $67,702,391–$305,090,600 |
The partisan split reflects concentration more than breadth. The three most active Democrats, Cisneros, McClain Delaney and Rep. Julie Johnson of Texas, account for 1,420 of the 2,146 Democratic transactions. The Republican trades are spread across more members.
Trades filed after the 45-day window
Under the STOCK Act, members must report a covered transaction within 30 days of being made aware of it or 45 days after the transaction, whichever comes first, according to the House Ethics Committee. Some reports list a notification date months after the transaction itself, but the 45-day limit runs from the trade.
To leave room for weekends, holidays and date-entry quirks, the table below counts only trades dated more than 60 days before the report’s filing date, and it excludes 11 amended reports, which can re-list trades that were reported on time in an earlier filing. Each report is linked; the dates come from the reports themselves.
| Member | Party, district | Report | Filed | Trades over 60 days | Earliest trade date | Longest gap (days) |

Letlow’s report, filed Jan. 13, lists 209 trades dated more than 60 days earlier, the oldest on Oct. 23, 2024. Of the report’s 223 lines, 174 list a notification date of Aug. 11, 2025, meaning the filing records that she was notified of those trades well after many of them were made, and the report was filed five months after that date.
Other reports in the table list a handful of older trades. Rep. Ed Case (D-Hawaii) reported seven quarterly spouse purchases dated May 2024 through November 2025 in an April filing. Rep. Michael Rulli (R-Ohio) listed 22 trades dated from November 2024 to May 2026 in an August report. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) listed one 2023 sale of Newell Brands stock in a March 2026 report.
Filing after the deadline is a disclosure-timing issue; it is not by itself evidence of improper trading, and the Inquisitor makes no such claim about any member listed. The Clerk’s index does not show whether late-filing fees were assessed.
The stocks members trade
Members traded many of the same large companies. Apple was the most widely held trade, appearing in filings by 19 members, followed by Microsoft (18 members) and Nvidia (14).

Month by month
Trading volume stayed in a fairly narrow band through the year, peaking at 378 transactions in March. October’s count is low because many October trades are not yet due to be reported.

The Washington region
Among the Maryland and Virginia delegation, McClain Delaney reported by far the most activity. Rep. John McGuire (R-Va.), Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-Va.) and Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.), who lost his reelection race last week, also filed. No report in the review came from the District’s delegate.
