Congressional trades › About this data
Congressional trades
Under the STOCK Act, members of the House and Senate must disclose stock trades over $1,000 made by themselves, their spouses and their dependent children. They report each trade as a dollar range, such as $1,001–$15,000, not an exact amount.
- Where it comes from
Each member's periodic transaction reports. House reports come from the House Clerk. Senate reports come from an independent public copy of the Senate's electronic filings, because the Senate's own site doesn't allow automated access; every Senate trade links to the official report.
Who reports it: Each member, on a periodic transaction report (PTR) filed with the House Clerk or the Senate.

Updates are running behind; we're on it.
- Coverage
- House trades dated from 2012 onward, the year the STOCK Act took effect. Senate reports filed since 2014; paper filings are not included. Committee overlap (whether the traded company's industry is under the jurisdiction of a committee the member sits on) is shown for trades since 3 January 2025, from the committee assignments of the 119th Congress; it describes jurisdiction only.
- Worth knowing
- The ranges are wide, and a spouse's trade is not necessarily the member's own decision. We match assets to companies automatically, so check the filing before relying on a single row. A few rows dated after their own filing, usually a misread scan, are left out. Senate trades come from an independent public copy of the Senate's electronic filings, because the Senate's own site doesn't allow automated access. Each one links to the official report. The copy starts with reports filed in 2014, leaves out paper filings, and is missing a small share of lines, so a senator's list can be incomplete. Committee overlap describes jurisdiction only; it does not show that a trade was improper. It uses committee assignments in the 119th Congress and checks trades dated since 3 January 2025.
