Disclosed range sums the low and high end of every reported bracket. It bounds the dollar activity; it is not a portfolio value or a return.

How to read this ranking
A transaction row is one line on a periodic transaction report: an asset, a date, a type, an owner, and a dollar bracket. Members whose accounts are run by an outside manager, or who hold many small positions, generate many rows. That makes row count a measure of disclosure activity rather than conviction or wealth. Read the disclosed range alongside the count: a member with 400 rows all in the $1,001–$15,000 bracket has a very different profile from one with 40 rows above $1 million.
Filing lag is the median number of days between a transaction and the date the report reached the Clerk. The STOCK Act requires notification within 30 days of becoming aware of a trade and no later than 45 days after it; a median above 45 means most of a member's rows were disclosed late. Late filing carries a small statutory penalty and is a matter of public record, but it is not evidence of trading on non-public information.
Frequently asked questions
Who trades the most stocks in Congress?
In House Clerk filings for 2025 and 2026, Gilbert Cisneros reported the most transactions with 1585 rows, followed by Lisa McClain (1434) and Robert Bresnahan (653). Row counts measure disclosure volume, not dollar value or performance; a member whose spouse or adviser trades frequently in small brackets will rank high.
Does a high number of trades mean a member is trading on inside information?
No. The count reflects reportable transactions by the member, spouse, dependents, and joint accounts, often executed by an outside manager. Frequency is a disclosure fact. Whether a trade used material non-public information is a legal question that filings alone cannot answer.
Why are Senators not on this list?
This ranking is built from the US House Clerk's periodic transaction report index, which Yield Theory parses directly from the filed PDFs. Senate disclosures are filed through a separate eFD system that is not yet included, so Senators are excluded rather than estimated from third-party data.
How current is this ranking?
It is generated from the snapshot dated 2026-09-20, covering 910 periodic reports of which 791 were machine-readable. Image-only filings are excluded rather than guessed, so some members' totals are understated.
Compiled from the US House Clerk periodic transaction report index for 2025 and 2026 and the public congress-legislators dataset for party and district. Snapshot generated 2026-09-20. Educational; not investment advice.
