Stocks Congress Is Buying: Purchases Filed Sept. 16 – Oct. 15, 2026

By Congress Pings Research · Covers House reports filed September 16 – October 15, 2026 · Updated monthly

This page lists the stock purchases that House members filed in the 30-day window from September 16 to October 15, 2026. Members report each trade's amount as a dollar range, not an exact figure, so every figure on this page is a range such as "between $15,001 and $50,000." We never add ranges together into a total.

The page covers House members only; it does not cover the Senate. Seven reports from five members were scanned images we could not read yet, so their trades are not counted and the numbers here are a floor: the real number of purchases is at least this high. The page is updated monthly.

What Is Congress Pings?

Stocks Bought in the Last 30 Days

The table below lists every stock bought by more than one member, or bought more than once by a single member, in the window. No stock was bought by more than 2 members in the window.

Home Depot and Microsoft each had 3 purchases by 2 members. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing was bought by 2 members, once each. The rest of the table shows stocks bought twice by a single member: Accenture, Corning, ImmunityBio, Meta Platforms, NXP Semiconductors, Okta, PepsiCo and Snowflake.

The Largest Stock Purchases

No stock purchase in the window was larger than $50,000. Seven purchases sat in the top range, between $15,001 and $50,000. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL-27) bought Snowflake (SNOW), traded 2026-09-04, filed 2026-10-07. A spouse's account for Rep. Lisa C. McClain (R-MI-09) made three purchases, traded 2026-09-14, filed 2026-10-12: CACI International (CACI), Olin (OLN) and Transocean (RIG). Rep.

Beyond Stocks: Bonds, Treasury Bills and Other Investments

The largest purchases in the window were not stocks. Of the 46 non-stock purchases, 37 were municipal bonds or U.S. Treasury bills; the other 9 were private funds and partnerships, LLC and company interests, a business development company, a bank-issued structured note and a bond mutual fund. The table below shows the non-stock purchases of $250,001 and up.

Four purchases sat in the $500,001 to $1,000,000 range. A spouse's account for Rep. Scott H. Peters (D-CA-50) bought a Petaluma, Calif. wastewater utility municipal bond, traded 2026-08-19, and a University of California municipal bond, traded 2026-08-13. A spouse's account for Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC-03) bought a Bank of Nova Scotia structured note, traded 2026-09-01. A spouse's account for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA-11) bought an interest in REOF XXX, LLC — the filing describes it as an investment in an LLC acquiring and managing a commercial office property at 225 Bush Street in San Francisco, traded 2026-09-08.

SpaceX Purchases in 2026

Seven members reported buying SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp., listed in the reports as SPCX) in 2026. Two of those members' reports — Rep. John James (R-MI-10) and Rep. William R. Timmons IV (R-SC-04) — labeled the purchase as "other" instead of "stock." The 2026 ranking on this page counts only stock-labeled purchases, so it shows 5 members. Both numbers are correct: 7 members reported SpaceX purchases in 2026, and the purchases of 5 of them carried the stock label.

2026 So Far: The Stocks Members Bought Most

The table below ranks 2026 stock purchases by how many different members bought each stock. Microsoft (MSFT) leads with 9 members (27 purchases), followed by Meta Platforms (META) with 8 members (11 purchases) and Apple (AAPL) with 6 members (12 purchases).

How We Counted

We count purchases from the original House periodic transaction reports, for reports filed between September 16 and October 15, 2026. Members report each trade's amount as a dollar range, not an exact figure, so we keep every figure as the range the member filed. A purchase made in two different accounts on the same day counts as two purchases.

We separate stock-labeled purchases from purchases of bonds, Treasury bills and other investments. Seven reports from five members were scanned images we could not read yet, so their trades are not counted: Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01) (3 reports), Rep. Harold Rogers (R-KY-05), Rep. Michael T. McCaul (R-TX-10), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA-17) and Rep. Tony Wied (R-WI-08). The counts on this page are therefore a floor: the real number of purchases is at least this high.

The 2026 ranking uses a wider scope: stock purchases with trade dates from January 2 to October 9, 2026, taken from the 430 reports filed in 2026 through October 15. Of those reports, 53 were scanned images and 4 were only partly readable, so they are not counted there either.

All 75 Stock Purchases

Every stock purchase we counted in reports filed September 16 – October 15, 2026, sorted by member and trade date. "Filed" is the date of the report. Owner notes (spouse, joint, dependent child) are copied from the filing; no note means the filing shows no owner code.

Each filing number on this page identifies the original report for its row. The tables show selected rows only. The full 30-day table lists every stock purchase in reports filed September 16 – October 15, 2026; sales and smaller non-stock purchases from those reports are not shown. The SpaceX table lists only SpaceX trades, and the reports it cites include other trades that are not shown here.
