Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) disclosed nine separate purchases of CHWY, the parent company of Chewy, between July 13 and July 30, 2026. The total value of the buys falls between $9,000 and $135,000, with the most likely figure around $72,000 based on the midpoints of each disclosed range.
No other member of Congress has reported a trade in Chewy in the last three years, according to a review of congressional disclosures. That makes Khanna the only lawmaker with a fresh position in the online pet retailer, a stock that has swung from a 52-week low of $17.40 to a high of $43.50.
The Trades
Khanna's disclosures show buys across four different owners: himself, his spouse, and two dependent children (DC). Each transaction was in the $1,001 to $15,000 range.
| Date | Type | Owner | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 13, 2026 | Buy | DC | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 13, 2026 | Buy | Spouse | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 14, 2026 | Buy | DC | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 14, 2026 | Buy | Spouse | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 21, 2026 | Buy | Self | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 22, 2026 | Buy | Self | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 23, 2026 | Buy | DC | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 23, 2026 | Buy | Self | $1K–$15K |
| Jul 30, 2026 | Buy | DC | $1K–$15K |
The cluster of purchases over 18 days is unusual in frequency. Most members file a handful of trades per quarter. Khanna has filed 19,415 trades over his career, but a nine-trade run on a single stock in under three weeks stands out even for him.
Committee Role and Oversight
Khanna sits on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He also serves on the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. Chewy is a consumer internet retailer, not a defense contractor. None of Khanna's committees have direct jurisdiction over pet food e-commerce.
Chewy operates a direct-to-consumer platform with a subscription service called Autoship. The company competes with Amazon in the pet supplies niche and is often watched as a proxy for discretionary consumer spending. Its market cap is $10.6 billion, and the stock closed near $22.35 in recent trading, down sharply from its 52-week high.
Only three other lawmakers have traded Chewy in the past three years, and none in the current period. That makes Khanna's position unique among the 535 members of Congress.
Under the STOCK Act, members must disclose trades within 45 days of execution. Khanna's filings cover transactions from mid-July; the disclosures were made public in the most recent batch of congressional reports.
