Lamar Alexander is a Republican politician who represented Tennessee in the U.S. Senate from January 6, 2015, to January 3, 2021. Born July 3, 1940, he previously served as governor of Tennessee and U.S. Secretary of Education before returning to the Senate. During his final term, he was a senior member of the Republican caucus and a prominent voice on education and health policy.
During his final Senate term, Alexander disclosed 58 stock trades with an estimated total trading volume of $7.7 million. His activity included 36 purchases and 22 sales, indicating a tilt toward buying over selling. With fewer than 100 disclosed transactions, his trading volume was moderate compared with some of the most active members of Congress, who report hundreds of trades per term. Public filings do not indicate a single dominant holding among the 58 transactions, reflecting a diversified trading approach based on disclosed activity.
