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. The STOCK Act explainer covers the deadlines and penalties, and how to read congressional disclosures walks through each field.
Frequently asked questions
Who trades the most stocks in Congress?
In House Clerk and Senate eFD filings for 2025 and 2026, Gilbert Cisneros reported the most transactions with 1642 rows, followed by Lisa McClain (1443) and Alan Armstrong (707). 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.
Are Senators included in this ranking?
Yes. The ranking covers both chambers: House members from the US House Clerk's periodic transaction report PDFs and Senators from electronic reports in the Senate eFD system. Paper Senate filings are scanned images and are excluded rather than estimated from third-party data.
How current is this ranking?
It is generated from the snapshot dated 2026-11-03, covering 1208 periodic reports of which 1078 were machine-readable. Image-only filings are excluded rather than guessed, so some members' totals are understated.
Compiled from the US House Clerk and Senate eFD periodic transaction report indexes for 2025 and 2026 and the public congress-legislators dataset for party and district. Snapshot generated 2026-11-03. Educational; not investment advice.
Don’t copy the filing. Read the thesis.
Congressional disclosures are delayed, ranged, and often a spouse. Members get the monthly call that treats those rows as one input, then names catalysts, risks, and what would change the view. $39/month or $249/year.
