Capitol Trade is a free data journalism service that compiles and displays the Stock Act Periodic Transaction Reports that U.S. federal senators and representatives are legally required to disclose.
"What stocks are U.S. lawmakers buying and selling these days?" — It was created to answer this question. You can view lawmakers' buy/sell history, reporting dates, specific stocks, and information on their political parties and districts all in one place.
■ Key Features
- Home: Feed of the most recently disclosed transactions
- Ranking: Rankings of senators and representatives based on performance indices by period (1 month/3 months/YTD/1 year/Overall)
- Members: Profiles, stock holdings, transaction history, and performance index trends by member
- Stocks: Party buy/sell ratios by stock, transaction history of related lawmakers
- Follow: Save lawmakers and stocks of interest to your watchlist
■ Data Sources
All transaction records are official government records released by the U.S. House Clerk's Office (disclosures-clerk.house.gov) and the Senate Financial Disclosure System (efdsearch.senate.gov). We use only legally disclosed data, not the personal information of lawmakers.
■ Notice
- STOCK Act disclosures are provided in ranges (e.g., $1,001–$15,000) rather than exact amounts. Some of the quantities, unit prices, and amounts displayed in the app are estimated values based on reported ranges and market prices on the trading day; estimates are marked with the word "Estimated."
- This app does not provide investment advice or trading recommendations, nor does it solicit the buying or selling of specific stocks. Please make investment decisions at your own risk.
- This service is a free public information service intended for news and data journalism purposes and operates without commercial use or paid subscription models.
