By Beltway Alpha · Edited by Sean Baptiste · Published 2026-05-05

John Fetterman bought Micron Technology sometime around March 30. By April 27, that position was up 63.0%. Twenty-eight days. The man in the Carhartt hoodie is running laps on the S&P 500. This list covers purchases filed in the last 90 days, ranked by percentage gain since the trade date. Fresh timing, fresh returns. Congress members are required to disclose trades within 45 days. They are not required to divest, recuse, or look mildly embarrassed. The receipts are public.

#10 Markwayne Mullin

Purchase of $CRS (15K-50K) on 2026-02-04. +23.3% as of 2026-03-04.

Markwayne Mullin's Carpenter Technology purchase on February 4 was up 23.3% by March 4. That's the oldest entry on this list, which means Mullin has had the longest to watch it compound. He also sits on committees with jurisdiction over defense and industrial manufacturing. Carpenter makes specialty alloys for aerospace and defense. Take that for what it's worth.

#9 April McClain Delaney

Purchase of $ENTG (1K-15K) on 2026-03-31. +23.4% as of 2026-04-28.

April McClain Delaney put between $1,000 and $15,000 into Entegris on March 31 and was up 23.4% by April 28. Entegris supplies materials to chip manufacturers. The semiconductor supply chain is deeply entangled with legislation her colleagues are actively debating.

#8 David Taylor

Purchase of $LRCX (1K-15K) on 2026-03-12. +23.5% as of 2026-04-09.

David Taylor bought Lam Research on March 12 and was up 23.5% by April 9. Lam makes semiconductor equipment, a sector that's been whipsawed by export control debates. Taylor got in, the trade worked, and the disclosure showed up on time.

#7 Maria Elvira Salazar

Purchase of $GLW (15K-50K) on 2026-03-19. +24.8% as of 2026-04-16.

Maria Elvira Salazar picked up Corning on March 19 and cleared 24.8% by April 16. Corning makes specialty glass and fiber optic cable. It's a quiet industrial name that doesn't usually make anyone's hot list. It made hers.

#6 Tim Moore

Purchase of $HOG (15K-50K) on 2026-03-12. +26.1% as of 2026-04-09.

Tim Moore bought Harley-Davidson on March 12 and was up 26.1% by April 9. Harley has benefited from tariff-adjacent trade narrative shifts. Moore's entry landed four weeks before the move. The calendar is doing a lot of work here.

#5 Gil Cisneros

Purchase of $COHR (1K-15K) on 2026-03-25. +28.8% as of 2026-04-22.

Gil Cisneros put money into Coherent Corp on March 25 and watched it climb 28.8% in less than a month. Coherent makes fiber optics and photonics components. A quiet buy in a sector that doesn't generate many headlines. It generated returns.

#4 Jared Moskowitz

Purchase of $AVGO (1K-15K) on 2026-03-31. +29.2% as of 2026-04-28.

Jared Moskowitz bought Broadcom on March 31 and was up 29.2% by April 28. Broadcom is one of the largest semiconductor companies on the planet. The chip sector has had a complicated few months in Washington. Moskowitz navigated it fine.

#3 Greg Steube

Purchase of $IONQ (1K-15K) on 2026-03-18. +33.6% as of 2026-04-15.

Greg Steube picked up IonQ, a quantum computing stock, on March 18 and cleared 33.6% by April 15. Quantum computing legislation has been moving on the Hill. Whether Steube reads the committee calendars or just reads the vibes, the entry timing held.

#2 Ro Khanna

Purchase of $VRT (1K-15K) on 2026-03-30. +37.7% as of 2026-04-27.

Ro Khanna, Silicon Valley's congressman, buying Vertiv Holdings — a data center infrastructure play — and booking 37.7% in 28 days. The industry overlap between his district and his portfolio is a conversation he's presumably tired of having.

#1 John Fetterman

Purchase of $MU (1K-15K) on 2026-03-30. +63.0% as of 2026-04-27.

Fetterman bought Micron at what turned out to be a very good moment, walked away 63% richer on paper in under a month, and presumably continued dressing like he's about to pressure-wash a driveway. The Senate's most reluctant institution managed to produce its sharpest entry on this list.

Ten members. Ten purchases. Ten positions that aged considerably better than the average retail investor's February through April.

The disclosure window is 45 days, which means by the time you're reading these filings, the trade has already cleared, the gain has already accrued, and the member has already moved on. The system was designed this way. The receipts are public. Make of them what you make of them.

Blind Trust — Congress trades. We keep the box score.

Blind Trust tracks every public stock-trade disclosure filed by a member of the United States Congress under the STOCK Act of 2012. Each trade is scored on a 0–100 Heat Index, flagged when its timing overlaps a committee vote or sector-moving news event, and surfaced in a daily editorial digest under the Beltway Alpha byline.

Every receipt on this site links to a public filing. We don't have anonymous sources. We don't write "sources tell us." If a chart can't be pointed at — a Periodic Transaction Report, a roll-call vote, a committee roster, a published poll — we don't make the claim.

How the Heat Index works

The Heat Index combines five inputs: (1) the 30-day forward alpha of the traded ticker versus the S&P 500, (2) the politician's committee-jurisdiction overlap with the company's sector, (3) the recency of a relevant roll-call vote, (4) the size of the disclosed trade range, and (5) the gap between trade date and disclosure date. Blazing trades score 70+. Warm trades score 40–69. Cold trades score below 40. Full scoring methodology →
