The Wall of Disclosure: 10 Members Who Filed Months Late

Five years of STOCK Act delays, ranked by days past the 45-day deadline. The worst offender took 379 days to tell you about a $15K trade.

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

The STOCK Act gives members of Congress 45 days to disclose a stock trade. Forty-five days. Less time than a standard lease break clause. Susie Lee of Nevada bought shares of Ally Financial in June 2021 and disclosed it in August 2022. That is 379 days late. Not 379 days total. Three hundred and seventy-nine days past the legal deadline, for a trade worth somewhere between $1,001 and $15,000. The Wall of Disclosure is a recurring ranking of the worst STOCK Act delays in a rolling five-year window. This is the current leaderboard. The members listed here are not accused of anything. They are simply the ones who took the longest to follow a rule that already has no teeth.

#10 Ritchie Torres (D-NY)

Sale of $AVGO (1K-15K) on 2025-01-07. Disclosed 2025-08-21. 181 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Ritchie Torres rounds out the list at 181 days late on a Broadcom sale. The least egregious entry in this group, which is the nicest thing anyone has written about a 181-day STOCK Act violation.

#9 Bradley S. Schneider (IL)

Sale of $TRUP ($15,001 - $50,000) on 2021-12-07. Disclosed 2022-08-13. 204 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Bradley Schneider sold Trupanion, a pet insurance company, 204 days after the deadline. The dog would have disclosed it faster.

#8 Kathy Manning (NC)

Sale of $FB ($1,001 - $15,000) on 2021-05-14. Disclosed 2022-02-11. 228 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Kathy Manning sold Facebook shares in May 2021, which, given what the next eighteen months looked like for that stock, was arguably the right call. She just forgot to file for 228 days.

#7 Katie Britt (R-AL)

Purchase of $XOM (1K-15K) on 2025-04-14. Disclosed 2026-01-27. 243 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Katie Britt bought Exxon Mobil in April 2025, which is at least on-brand for Alabama's junior senator. The 243-day delay is less explicable.

#6 Alan S. Lowenthal (CA)

Sale of $GM ($15,001 - $50,000) on 2021-08-23. Disclosed 2022-06-24. 260 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Alan Lowenthal sold General Motors and waited 260 days to mention it. GM's own supply chain moved faster than this filing, and that is saying something.

#5 Julia Letlow (R-LA)

Sale of $ACN (1K-15K) on 2025-01-15. Disclosed 2026-01-14. 319 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Julia Letlow took 319 days to disclose a sale of Accenture, a firm that charges governments considerable sums to tell them how to run things efficiently.

#4 Virginia Foxx (NC)

Purchase of $NEWT ($1,001 - $15,000) on 2021-08-30. Disclosed 2022-09-08. 329 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Virginia Foxx bought Newtek Business Services and disclosed it 329 days late. The company's whole pitch is helping small businesses stay organized.

#3 Josh Gottheimer (NJ)

Sale of $CRNC ($1,001 - $15,000) on 2021-08-15. Disclosed 2022-09-16. 352 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Josh Gottheimer, who has never been shy about his financial sophistication, sat on a Cerence Inc. sale for 352 days. One week from a full calendar year. Close.

#2 Carol Devine Miller (WV)

Purchase of $BLK ($15,001 - $50,000) on 2021-07-28. Disclosed 2022-09-02. 356 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Carol Miller purchased BlackRock, a company whose entire business model is knowing things about money on time, and then took 356 days to tell the public she owned it.

#1 Susie Lee (NV)

Purchase of $ALLY ($1,001 - $15,000) on 2021-06-15. Disclosed 2022-08-13. 379 days past the STOCK Act deadline.

Susie Lee held the line for 379 days on a small-dollar Ally Financial buy, which raises a straightforward question: what exactly is the 45-day window for, if not this?

The STOCK Act requires disclosure. It does not require divestiture, recusal, abstention, or any particular urgency about the disclosure itself. The penalty for a late filing is $200. The fine has not changed since 2012. Ally Financial's stock moved more than $200 in the 379 days it took Lee's trade to surface. The math on the deterrence here does not take long.

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 →
