Chip Roy Bought 5.2M in Stock. The Next Nine Combined Barely Keep Up.

The top 10 Congressional buyers by disclosed purchase volume over the last 90 days, ranked by midpoint of STOCK Act ranges.

By Beltway Alpha · Edited by Sean Baptiste · Published 2026-06-06

Chip Roy sits alone at the top of this list with 5.2 million in disclosed purchases over the last 90 days, two transactions, top concentration in $INCAESI. The other nine members on this list bought a combined $7.4 million. Roy more than doubled the field. These are midpoint figures using STOCK Act disclosure ranges, which cap at 'over $50 million' at the top end, so if anything the numbers undersell the big trades. Purchases only. Sales are a separate conversation. These are 10 members of Congress who also happen to have been buying stock at a meaningful clip while serving on committees, casting votes, and receiving classified briefings.

#10 Dave McCormick

1 disclosed purchases totaling 75K at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $GS.

One purchase. 75K. Goldman Sachs. McCormick is a former Goldman partner, a former Senate candidate backed by Wall Street money, and now a sitting senator. Buying Goldman is either a homecoming or a habit. Probably both.

#9 August Pfluger

7 disclosed purchases totaling $228K at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $UHAL.

Pfluger, who represents a West Texas oil district, filed seven purchases totaling $228K. His top concentration is U-Haul, which is either a deep value call or a portfolio that doubles as autobiography.

#8 April McClain Delaney

29 disclosed purchases totaling $256K at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $TDG.

Twenty-nine purchases totaling $256K, led by TransDigm Group, which makes aerospace components and has a long and well-documented relationship with Pentagon cost-plus contracts. McClain Delaney is on the House Armed Services Committee. The committee assignment keeps coming up on this list.

#7 Tim Moore

9 disclosed purchases totaling $286K at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $LGIH.

Moore is a freshman who came to Congress from the North Carolina state legislature. Nine purchases, $286K, top concentration in LGI Homes, a homebuilder. Housing affordability is on the agenda. Moore is buying a homebuilder. Washington is a funny place.

#6 Gil Cisneros

38 disclosed purchases totaling $378K at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $FABRINETFN.

38 purchases and $378K in 90 days for Cisneros, whose top concentration appears as $FABRINETFN in the filing. Fabrinet makes optical and electronics manufacturing components. Cisneros sits on the House Armed Services Committee. Take that for what it's worth.

#5 Maria Elvira Salazar

30 disclosed purchases totaling $632K at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $BA.

Salazar put $632K into 30 purchases, with Boeing as her top holding. She serves on the House Armed Services Committee. Boeing's largest customer is the U.S. government. The Venn diagram here has significant overlap.

#4 Michael McCaul

77 disclosed purchases totaling .3M at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $ARE.

McCaul filed 77 purchases totaling .3 million, topped by Alexandria Real Estate Equities. He chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which has little to do with biotech office parks, but the calendar is the calendar.

#3 Josh Gottheimer

23 disclosed purchases totaling $2.1M at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $MSFT.

Gottheimer put $2.1 million to work across 23 trades, leading with Microsoft. He sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Microsoft holds a $22 billion contract with the Department of Defense. These are all public facts.

#2 Ro Khanna

153 disclosed purchases totaling $2.3M at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $CSCO.

153 purchases in 90 days works out to roughly 1.7 trades per day, assuming Ro Khanna took weekends off. His top concentration is Cisco Systems, which is convenient given his seat on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee and his district's address in the middle of Silicon Valley. Busy quarter.

#1 Chip Roy

2 disclosed purchases totaling 5.2M at midpoint over the last 90 days. Top concentration: $INCAESI.

Two trades. 5.2 million. Roy's top concentration is $INCAESI, which is not a household name, which means someone thought hard about this. The gap between Roy and the rest of this list isn't close. It isn't even interesting.

Ten members. Classified briefings for all of them. Active buying schedules for all of them. The STOCK Act requires disclosure within 45 days of a transaction. It does not require recusal, divestiture, or any explanation of why a member of the Armed Services Committee keeps showing up in aerospace and defense names. That part was left to the reader.

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 →
