April McClain Delaney tops the congressional buying board with 35 disclosed purchases totaling $280,000 at midpoint over the last 90 days, concentrated heaviest in Life Time Holdings. To put that in context: the next closest buyer logged 12 trades. Delaney logged nearly three times that. These figures use the midpoint of the STOCK Act's disclosure ranges, which means the real numbers could be higher — the top bracket is 'over $50 million' and caps out at nothing. What you see here is the floor, not the ceiling.

John McGuire rounds out the list with two purchases in Applied Materials totaling $16,000. Applied Materials makes semiconductor equipment. The CHIPS Act is law. The follow-on appropriations fights are live. The position is noted.

Maria Elvira Salazar put $16,000 into Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares. Buying a diversified conglomerate run by an 94-year-old is either a long-term conviction play or an act of profound optimism. Either way, it's on the disclosure.

Lloyd Doggett bought Coca-Cola twice for $16,000 at midpoint. Doggett is a senior Democrat on Ways and Means, which writes tax and trade policy affecting multinational consumer staples companies. Coca-Cola is a multinational consumer staples company. The circle is complete.

Scott Franklin's three purchases landed heaviest in Accenture — same name, different member, same week's filing window as Newhouse. Two members, one ticker, one 90-day window. Probably a coincidence. Probably.

Cleo Fields bought Nvidia three times in 90 days for $24,000 at midpoint. Nvidia is the single most-discussed stock in any conversation about AI, export controls, and federal compute policy. Fields is a member of Congress. These things are all simultaneously true.

Richard W. Allen put $32,000 to work in Broadcom over four disclosed trades. Broadcom is a semiconductor and infrastructure software company with a federal contracting footprint. The chip policy debate on the Hill is ongoing. The calendar is public.

David J. Taylor logged four purchases, concentrated in Alphabet's Class A shares. Four trades, $32,000 at midpoint — tidy, unremarkable in volume, but Google's regulatory exposure to the current Congress is not exactly zero.

Eleven trades in 90 days from Josh Gottheimer, top weight in what appears to be a non-voting share class of Alphabet. Gottheimer is a prolific filer in general — this is not his first appearance on a chart like this. At this point it's practically a signature.

Dan Newhouse put up 12 purchases and parked the heaviest concentration in Accenture, a federal IT consulting firm that does a not-trivial share of its revenue from government contracts. He sits in Congress. Accenture sits on the GSA schedule. The Venn diagram has overlap.

Thirty-five purchases in 90 days works out to roughly one trade every 2.5 days, which is a pace more consistent with a day-trading hobbyist than a sitting member of Congress with a full committee calendar. Life Time Holdings is a gym chain. Make of that what you make of it.
These are the ten biggest buyers in Congress by disclosed purchase volume over the last 90 days. Every number here is a midpoint estimate derived from the STOCK Act's ranges, which means every number here is conservative by design. The actual totals could be higher. The law doesn't require precision.
Members of Congress receive classified intelligence briefings, sit on committees with jurisdiction over the sectors they're investing in, and are required to disclose trades within 45 days. They are not required to do anything else. The receipts are public. Make of them what you make of them.
