Congress by party
This page sets the trades of Democratic and Republican members of Congress side by side: the ten stocks each party's members bought most, and the ten they sold most, over the past 12 months. Stocks are ranked by how many different members of the party traded them, with the disclosed dollar ranges added up. Members have up to 45 days to disclose a trade, so the lists describe the past, and they cover trades, not what members hold.
How this list is chosen
Last reviewed Oct 27, 2026.
For each party, the 10 stocks bought, and the 10 sold, by the most different members of Congress over the past 12 months, by trade date. Party is each member's party in the congressional record; independents are not counted. Recomputed from new disclosures every day.

Why people look at this data
What people who follow this kind of filing usually say. Not our view.
- People look at these lists to see where the two parties' members put their own money, and where they differ.
- The case usually made is that counting members, rather than dollars, shows how widely a stock was traded within a party.
- Supporters of disclosure note that these trades are public by law and that comparing them is part of what the law intends.
Limits commonly cited
Why this kind of filing says little on its own. Not our view.
- Critics note that disclosures can arrive up to 45 days after a trade, so the information is dated.
- Critics note that many members hold the same large companies, so overlap between the parties is common and says little.
- Risks often raised include that members trade for personal reasons, and a party label says nothing about why a trade was made.
