Members of Congress disclosed 8,012 stock and asset trades executed in the first six months of 2026, spread across 137 members and 1,052 different tickers. The distribution is anything but even. Trades reported by Rep. Ro Khanna and his household account for 3,843 of them. That is 48 percent of everything Congress traded.
Where the volume came from
Four members produced 73 percent of all disclosed trades in the period. After Khanna came Sen. Alan Armstrong of Oklahoma with 703, Rep. Gilbert Cisneros of California with 641, and Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas with 631. The other 133 members with any activity at all combined for roughly a quarter of the total.
Volume like Khanna's does not mean a lawmaker sits at a terminal day-trading. His filings list large numbers of small transactions across spouse and dependent accounts, the pattern of a professionally managed portfolio that happens to be reportable line by line. The STOCK Act counts each line. A member with one advisor rebalancing twenty holdings files twenty trades; a member holding index funds may file none for months.
What they bought
Microsoft was the most disclosed name, with 78 congressional trades in six months. Nvidia followed with 48, then Amazon with 46, Mastercard with 43, and Home Depot with 42. The pattern tracks what you would expect from wealth-manager portfolios: megacap technology and blue chips, not obscure small caps.
Buys outnumbered sells, 4,598 to 3,315. The remainder were exchanges and other transaction types that fit neither bucket.
How to read these numbers
Two caveats matter. First, disclosure forms report dollar ranges, not exact amounts. The smallest bracket runs from $1,001 to $15,000 and the largest exceed $50 million, so trade counts and dollar volumes are different questions; a member with five trades may have moved more money than one with five hundred. Second, a disclosed trade is a fact about a transaction, not a finding of wrongdoing. Many are executed by advisors or spouses without the member's day-to-day involvement.
Every figure above comes from Periodic Transaction Reports filed with the House and Senate under the STOCK Act. You can browse the underlying filings in the trade feed, compare members in the rankings, or read how the disclosure law works.
