Late Congress Stock Disclosures: Who Reported Late?
Politician Stock Tracker
The STOCK Act gives Congress 45 days to disclose stock trades—yet thousands of filings arrive much later. Who reported trades late? Our tracker lists 3,002 disclosed transactions where the gap between trade date and public filing exceeded that threshold.
The short answer
A late congress stock disclosure is any stock trade where filing date − transaction date is more than 45 days. We sort the late congress stock disclosures list by longest delay first so the worst gaps surface at the top.
Examples from the current data:
| Politician | Ticker | Trade date | Filed | Delay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Markwayne Mullin | SHOP | 2023-01-03 | 2025-08-13 | 953 days |
| Markwayne Mullin | PYPL | 2023-01-03 | 2025-08-13 | 953 days |
| Markwayne Mullin | PODD | 2023-01-03 | 2025-07-30 | 939 days |
| Richard Dean Dr McCormick | ABT | — | — | up to 917 days |
| Ritchie John Torres | MCK | — | — | up to 547 days |
Mullin's January 2023 buys in names like Shopify and PayPal stayed off the public record for more than two and a half years before appearing in Senate filings in mid-2025.
Repeat late filers in our sample
Among the 500 longest-delay trades we highlight, some members appear dozens of times:
| Politician | Late trades in top-500 list | Max delay (days) |
|---|---|---|
| Valerie Hoyle | 130 | 408 |
| Julia Letlow | 110 | 447 |
| Ritchie John Torres | 63 | 547 |
| Markwayne Mullin | 59 | 953 |
| Donald J Trump | 25 | 493 |
That does not mean these are the only late filers in Congress—the full database tracks 3,002 late disclosures across many members and years.
Why delays matter
Late filings reduce real-time transparency. A trade can be weeks or months old—and prices can move substantially—before retail investors see it in public records.
What we measure
- Delay in calendar days between disclosed transaction date and filing date.
- Stock trades from public House PTR, Senate, and OGE reports.
What we do not claim
- Late filing is not automatically illegal; enforcement and penalties depend on context.
- We report timing facts from public documents, not legal findings.
