Congressional stock trades filed in early October 2026 lean Senate-heavy and include more private-entity lines than a typical equity-only week. As of October 7, 2026, ProBors shows 34 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates between September 27 and October 5—eight members across House and Senate. Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s September 28 batch accounts for 16 rows tied to family LLC interests (not listed tickers). Rep. Lloyd Doggett filed a four-row House cluster on October 5 covering IBM, Home Depot (HD), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and PPG. Rep. Michael Rulli’s partial Microsoft (MSFT) sale is the only row in this window with same-day filing (0-day lag). This is research context, not investment advice.
Snapshot summary
ProBors sorts congressional disclosures by filing date. In the September 27–October 5 filing window:
- 34 rows after deduplication (identical politician, ticker or asset, type, trade date, filing date, amount, and chamber removed)
- 8 politicians with at least one filing: Richard Blumenthal (16 rows), David Taylor (5), Lloyd Doggett (4), Don Beyer (3), Sheldon Whitehouse (3), Michael Rulli (1), James II (1), Max Miller (1)
- Chamber split: 20 Senate rows, 14 House rows
- Transaction mix: 21 purchase-type rows, 13 sales (including partial sales and one call-option capital call)
- Signal tiers: 2 High signal, 12 Worth watching, 20 Normal
- Filing lag: 0-day minimum (Rulli’s September 28 MSFT partial sale), 27-day median, 45-day maximum on the Greenbrier Hotel Corporation Senate line
- Notable clusters: Blumenthal’s September 28 LLC sales and purchases; Doggett’s October 5 diversified equity batch; Taylor’s October 1 House lines on AMGN and HD
Early October is quieter than late September’s MSFT-heavy wave, but the Blumenthal LLC concentration and Doggett’s same-day four-ticker House filing are worth reading before you assume “nothing filed this week.”
Recent disclosures worth a closer look
The table below shows deduplicated rows from ProBors as of October 7, 2026. Lag is calendar days between transaction date and filing date as reported in each disclosure.
| Politician | Chamber | Ticker / asset | Type | Traded | Filed | Lag | Amount range | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Richard Blumenthal | Senate | MH Built to Last LLC | Sale | August 19, 2026 | September 28, 2026 | 40 | $100,001–$250,000 | High signal |
| Richard Blumenthal | Senate | Not Fade Away LLC | Purchase | September 11, 2026 | September 28, 2026 | 17 | $250,001–$500,000 | Worth watching |
| James II | Senate | Greenbrier Hotel Corporation and Affiliates | Sale | August 14, 2026 | September 28, 2026 | 45 | Over $50,000,000 | Worth watching |
| Lloyd Doggett | House | IBM | Purchase | September 10, 2026 | October 5, 2026 | 25 | $1,001–$15,000 | Normal |
| Lloyd Doggett | House | HD (Home Depot) | Purchase | September 17, 2026 | October 5, 2026 | 18 | $1,001–$15,000 | Normal |
| David Taylor | House | AMGN | Purchase | September 22, 2026 | October 1, 2026 | 9 | $1,001–$15,000 | Normal |
| Michael Rulli | House | MSFT | Sale (Partial) | September 28, 2026 | September 28, 2026 | 0 | $1,001–$15,000 | Normal |
| Sheldon Whitehouse | Senate | JPM | Sale | September 4, 2026 | October 1, 2026 | 27 | $15,001–$50,000 | Normal |
How to read this without overfitting:
- Blumenthal’s LLC lines are alternative-asset disclosures, not common-stock tickers. Two August 19 sales from MH Built to Last LLC carry High signal scores in ProBors because of size and batch context—not because a public equity moved.
- Doggett’s October 5 batch bundles four small-bracket purchases with trade dates in early-to-mid September. HD appears in the same week as other congressional Home Depot filings; read each PTR separately.
- James II is how ProBors indexes this senator’s name; the Greenbrier Hotel Corporation line is a very large bracket sale with a 45-day lag—verify the underlying Senate PDF before citing the dollar range.
- Rulli’s MSFT partial sale is the timeliest equity row in the window (0-day lag) but still a $1,001–$15,000 bracket.
- Whitehouse’s JPM sale is a routine portfolio trim filed October 1 on a September 4 trade date—useful as a “normal lag” contrast to Blumenthal’s LLC batch.
Filing lag in plain language
STOCK Act disclosures are periodic reports, not live trade feeds. In this early-October snapshot:
- Fastest equity line: Rulli’s September 28 MSFT partial sale filed the same day (0-day lag)
- Timely House purchases: Taylor’s September 22 AMGN purchase filed October 1 at 9-day lag; Doggett’s September 17 HD purchase filed October 5 at 18-day lag
- Blumenthal LLC batch: August 19 sales filed September 28 at 40-day lag; September 11 Not Fade Away LLC purchase filed September 28 at 17-day lag
- Longest line in the table: Greenbrier Hotel Corporation sale traded August 14, filed September 28 (45-day lag)
When a headline says a member “just disclosed” activity, check both dates. An October 5 House filing may cover trades from early September. For the rules behind that gap, see STOCK Act filing delay explained.
How to research this week's filings on ProBors
- Open Congressional trades and sort by filing date descending to mirror this snapshot.
- Filter by Senate when you want Blumenthal’s September 28 LLC batch, Whitehouse’s October 1 sales, or the Greenbrier Hotel line.
- Filter by House for Doggett’s October 5 cluster, Taylor’s October 1 AMGN line, or Rulli’s same-day MSFT sale.
- Sort by signal score when you want the two High signal and twelve Worth watching rows before reading every Normal line.
- Open the politician profile for any member with multiple LLC rows to see whether filings share trade dates or amount brackets.
- Cross-check any notable row against the original PTR or Senate eFD PDF before citing it in notes or journalism.

What this does not prove
A filing date in early October does not mean the politician traded that week. Doggett’s October 5 House batch covers September trade dates filed two to four weeks later. Blumenthal’s LLC purchases and sales describe private-entity interests—they are not evidence of a public-stock view. The Greenbrier Hotel Corporation line is a single Senate bracket that must be read in the original PDF; ProBors indexes the politician as James II, which may differ from how you know the member’s name in press coverage. Rulli’s same-day MSFT partial sale is timely but small. High signal and Worth watching tiers are triage flags for researchers—they are not proof of non-public information. None of these disclosures are trade signals.
FAQ
How many congressional trades were filed in early October 2026?
ProBors shows 34 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates between September 27 and October 5, 2026, across eight politicians. The count is after removing identical politician-asset-type-date-amount-chamber duplicates.
Why are so many rows tied to Richard Blumenthal?
Blumenthal filed a large September 28 Senate batch covering multiple LLC interests (MH Built to Last LLC, Not Fade Away LLC, Days Between LLC, and others). ProBors expands each bracket line separately, which is why one filing week can produce many rows without many different public tickers.
Which filing had the shortest lag in this window?
Rep. Michael Rulli’s partial Microsoft (MSFT) sale traded and filed on September 28, 2026—a 0-day gap. Most other rows carry roughly 9- to 45-day lag.
What stood out on the House side?
Rep. Lloyd Doggett’s October 5 filing includes four small-bracket purchases (IBM, HD, JNJ, and PPG) with September trade dates. Rep. David Taylor’s October 1 batch includes AMGN and HD lines with 9-day lag on the AMGN purchase.
Where can I verify these rows against original filings?
Each House PTR is available through the House Clerk's disclosure search. Senate reports are published through the Senate eFD system. Rows were checked in ProBors and should be verified against the original filing.
