How to look up a member of Congress’s stock trades
Every member of Congress has to report stock trades by themselves, their spouse and their dependent children. Those reports are public. Since January 2025, 148 current members reported 12,160 trades. Here is how to find them.

1. Find the member
Search by name, or pick your state to see your senators and representative. Every member has a page, and the stock trades section lists each trade with the date, the stock, whether it was a purchase or sale, the dollar range and whose account it was in.
2. Read a trade
A trade line looks like this: bought Apple Inc. (AAPL), Mar 3, 2026, $1,001–$15,000, spouse. The date is when the trade happened. The report itself can come up to 45 days later. “Spouse” or “dependent child” means the trade was in a family member’s account.
3. Check the original filing
Each member’s page links to the original reports on the House Clerk or Senate site, so you can see the form exactly as it was filed. When a member files an amended report, the corrected trade replaces the original here.
4. Look across Congress
To see who trades the most, use the most stock trades ranking. Rep. Gilbert Ray Cisneros, Jr. D-CA-31 leads with 1,645 trades since January 2025. To see who traded a specific company, open its stock page. The monthly reports sum up each month.

Common questions
Are members of Congress allowed to trade stocks?
Yes. Members of Congress can buy and sell individual stocks. The STOCK Act requires them to report each trade over $1,000 within 45 days.
Where do the trade reports come from?
House members file periodic transaction reports with the Clerk of the House. Senators file them with the Secretary of the Senate. Both are posted publicly online.
Why are the amounts shown as ranges?
The forms only ask for a dollar range, such as $1,001 to $15,000 or $50,001 to $100,000, not the exact amount.
Do the reports include family members?
Yes. Trades by a spouse or dependent child are reported too, and each trade is marked with whose account it was in.
