Aged Like Wine: 10 Best Congressional Trades, Last 90 Days

Recent purchases ranked by since-trade-date return. The #1 entry is up 63% while you read this.

By Beltway Alpha · Edited by Sean Baptiste · Published 2026-05-13

John Fetterman bought Micron Technology sometime around March 30. Twenty-eight days later, that position was up 63.0%. Not over a career. Not over a decade of patient compounding. Twenty-eight days. The rest of this list covers nine other members who also bought something in the last 90 days and are now, by any normal human standard, sitting pretty. These are recent purchases, not ancient positions. The entry timing is fresh. The gains are fresher. People with access to committee briefings, regulatory calendars, and classified intelligence reports: they appear to be doing fine.

#10 April McClain Delaney

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

McClain Delaney bought Entegris on March 31. Up 23.4% within a month. Entegris supplies semiconductor materials. It's the lowest return on this list, which means it's the worst trade in a top-ten list of Congressional stock picks from the last 90 days. That should put it in perspective.

#9 David Taylor

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

Taylor bought Lam Research on March 12, the same day Moore was buying Harley. Up 23.5% by April 9. Lam makes semiconductor etch equipment. These March 12 buyers are having a very good spring.

#8 Tim Moore

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

Moore bought Harley-Davidson on March 12 and it's up 26.1%. The tariff whiplash hit auto and industrial names hard in March, then bounced hard. Moore apparently had a view. Or bought a motorcycle company because he likes motorcycles. The filing doesn't say.

#7 Gil Cisneros

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

Cisneros bought Coherent Corp on March 25. Twenty-eight days: +28.8%. Coherent makes optical and electronic components used in defense and telecom. Cisneros is a Navy vet who sits on Armed Services. Interesting combination of facts.

#6 Jared Moskowitz

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

Moskowitz bought Broadcom on March 31 and it's up 29.2% four weeks later. Broadcom is, among other things, a major federal contractor. Moskowitz is a sitting congressman. The receipts are timestamped.

#5 Greg Steube

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

Steube bought IonQ, a quantum-computing company, on March 18 and is up 33.6%. It's a genuinely odd pick for a Florida congressman whose public brand is mostly grievance. Turns out he also reads the sector.

#4 Ro Khanna

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

Khanna picked up Vertiv Holdings on March 30 and it's up 37.7%. Vertiv makes data-center power infrastructure. Khanna represents Silicon Valley. At some point that's less a conflict and more a lifestyle.

#3 Michael McCaul

Purchase of $HUM (1K-15K) on 2026-04-10. +43.1% as of 2026-05-08.

McCaul bought Humana on April 10 and watched it rip 43.1% by May 8. Humana is a managed-care insurer. McCaul sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The Venn diagram is yours to draw.

#2 Maria Elvira Salazar

Purchase of $MRVL (15K-50K) on 2026-04-06. +49.5% as of 2026-05-04.

Salazar dropped $15K-$50K on Marvell Technology on April 6, the week markets were in freefall, and walked out four weeks later with 49.5%. Buying into a panic takes either nerve or information. The filing doesn't say which.

#1 John Fetterman

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

Fetterman bought Micron Technology on March 30 and collected a 63% return in under a month. The guy who wears Carhartt hoodies to Senate votes is apparently doing just fine in semis.

Ten members. Ten purchases inside the last 90 days. Ten gains ranging from 23% to 63%. The S&P 500 spent most of that window getting its teeth kicked in by tariff announcements. These portfolios did not get their teeth kicked in.

Members are required to disclose trades within 45 days of execution. They are not required to divest, recuse, abstain, explain themselves, or experience any visible discomfort. The STOCK Act passed in 2012. Enforcement is a $200 fine, which rounds to zero for anyone on this list. 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 →
