Congress's Slowest Stock-Trade Filers
The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to publicly disclose a stock transaction within 45 days. Using the transaction and disclosure dates on file for trades currently in this tracker, here's who's cutting it closest — and who's well past it.

Avg. days to disclose
Members With the Most Late Filings
| Member | Late trades | Avg. days late | Worst filing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michael McCaul House | 69 of 69 | 14 days past deadline | 74 days |
| Laurel Lee House | 1 of 2 | 11 days past deadline | 56 days |
| Jonathan Jackson House | 1 of 6 | 1 days past deadline | 46 days |
"Days past deadline" counts only the overage past the 45-day window (i.e. a trade disclosed 50 days after the transaction counts as 5 days late).

Laurel Lee (House) — 1 trade filed late, worst was 56 days 3.

How this is measured, and its limits:
- "Days to disclose" is the calendar-day gap between the transaction date and disclosure date on each official filing — not a legal determination of a STOCK Act violation. Members can receive extensions, and some delays reflect amended or corrected filings rather than late originals.
- This reflects only the trades currently in this tracker's rolling recent-disclosures window (146 trades with usable dates as of 2026-10-16), not each member's full career filing history.
- Trades with missing or malformed dates in the underlying filing are excluded rather than guessed at.
