Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) has sold shares of TENB (Tenable Holdings, Inc.) three times in July 2026, making him the only member of Congress to trade the stock in the last three years. The transactions, disclosed on July 2, July 6, and July 9, each involved sales valued between $1,001 and $15,000, totaling roughly $24,000.
Khanna's trades come as Tenable, a cybersecurity firm headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, trades near the lower end of its 52-week range. The stock's current price is $37.00, down from its 52-week high of $43.67 but above its low of $15.73. The company has been a player in the vulnerability management space, competing with larger rivals like Qualys and Rapid7.
According to congressional trading data, no other lawmaker has reported a position in TENB since at least 2023. That makes Khanna's repeated sales unusual not just for their frequency but for the stock's absence from other portfolios. The three sales were all marked as "Sell" and were executed in a single week, suggesting a deliberate reduction of his stake.
Khanna serves on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Oversight and Reform Committee, and the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. His committee assignments place him at the intersection of national security and technology policy, areas where Tenable's products are relevant. The company provides cybersecurity solutions to government agencies, including the Department of Defense, which falls under his Armed Services jurisdiction.
While the timing of the sales is notable, there is no public indication that they were tied to any non-public information. The STOCK Act, passed in 2012, requires members of Congress to disclose securities transactions within 45 days. Khanna's filings appear to meet that requirement, as the trades were reported in a timely manner.
This is not Khanna's first foray into tech stock trading. His career trades total 19,415, a figure that includes numerous transactions in technology and defense companies. However, the TENB sales stand out because of the stock's rarity in congressional portfolios.
The lack of other lawmakers trading TENB could reflect the stock's relatively small market cap or its niche focus. Tenable's market capitalization hovers around $4 billion, making it a mid-cap stock that may not attract the same attention as larger tech names. Still, Khanna's decision to sell three times in one week suggests he was actively managing his position, perhaps to lock in gains or rebalance.
The latest congressional trades show a mix of buying and selling across sectors, but TENB remains a one-off. For investors tracking insider activity, Khanna's sales could be interpreted as a signal, though the amounts are modest. The total value of his TENB sales, approximately $24,000, is a small fraction of his overall portfolio, which has been valued in the millions.
Khanna has been a vocal advocate for ethical behavior in Congress, frequently pushing for stricter rules on stock trading by lawmakers. His own trading activity, however, has drawn scrutiny in the past, particularly when his tech investments overlapped with his policy work. The TENB sales add another data point to that ongoing conversation.
As of now, Khanna has not commented on the sales. The disclosures are public record, available through the House Financial Disclosure reports. For now, the transactions stand as a rare instance of a lawmaker trading a stock that no other member has touched in years.
