Congress Trades Filed Mid-October 2026: Cisneros House Batch, Larsen Rebalance, Gottheimer Trims

ProBors shows 63 mid-October congressional filings—Cisneros's Oct. 9 House batch, Larsen's Oct. 12 rebalance, and Gottheimer tech trims.

Congressional stock trades filed in mid-October 2026 are dominated by one large House PTR batch and a smaller quarterly-style rebalance. As of October 14, 2026, ProBors shows 63 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates between October 6 and October 12—four members across House and Senate. Rep. Gilbert Cisneros accounts for 55 rows filed October 9, mixing municipal bond lines, partial sales, and mid-cap equities. Rep. Rick Larsen filed a four-line House cluster on October 12 tied to an October 8 trade date. Rep. Josh Gottheimer’s October 6 filing trims Applied Materials (AMAT) and McDonald’s (MCD). This is research context, not investment advice.

Snapshot summary

ProBors sorts congressional disclosures by filing date. In the October 6–October 12 filing window:

  • 63 rows after deduplication (identical politician, ticker or asset, type, trade date, filing date, amount, and chamber removed)
  • 4 politicians with at least one filing: Gilbert Cisneros (55 rows), Rick Larsen (4), John Fetterman (2), Josh Gottheimer (2)
  • Chamber split: 61 House rows, 2 Senate rows
  • Transaction mix: 33 purchase-type rows, 30 sales (including partial sales)
  • Signal tiers: 0 High signal, 15 Worth watching, 48 Normal
  • Filing lag: 4-day minimum (Larsen’s October 8 trades filed October 12), 18-day median, 36-day maximum on a Cisneros GMED purchase line
  • Notable clusters: Cisneros’s October 9 diversified batch (bonds plus equities); Larsen’s October 12 WSM purchase and HD/FDX sales on the same trade date; Gottheimer’s October 6 AMAT and MCD trims

Mid-October is narrower than early October’s Senate-heavy LLC week, but the Cisneros concentration is the main story—read the batch as one filing event, not 55 independent “signals.”

How to read this without overfitting:

  • Cisneros’s October 9 batch spans trade dates from early September through late September. Many lines are small-bracket equities; several are municipal or authority bonds without listed stock tickers—treat them as fixed-income disclosures, not equity bets.
  • Larsen’s October 12 cluster shares an October 8 trade date across WSM (purchase), HD (sale), FDX (sale), and ADI (purchase). HD appears again in congressional filings this fall; compare to Home Depot disclosure context without assuming coordination.
  • Gottheimer’s AMAT sale is flagged Worth watching in ProBors because of member-and-ticker history—not because the bracket size is large.
  • Fetterman’s Dell note line is a corporate bond purchase indexed without a stock ticker in ProBors; verify the Senate PDF before citing coupon or maturity details.
  • Worth watching rows in this window (15 total) are triage flags. None of the mid-October filings carry a High signal tier in this snapshot.

Filing lag in plain language

STOCK Act disclosures are periodic reports, not live trade feeds. In this mid-October snapshot:

  • Fastest cluster: Larsen’s October 8 trades filed October 12 (4-day lag on WSM, HD, FDX, and ADI)
  • Large batch timing: Most Cisneros lines filed October 9 on September trade dates—commonly 10- to 22-day lag, with a few lines stretching to 36 days (GMED purchase traded September 3)
  • Gottheimer: September 15 AMAT sale filed October 6 (21-day lag); September 25 MCD partial sale filed October 6 (11-day lag)
  • Fetterman: September 16 bond purchase filed October 7 (21-day lag)

When a headline says a member “just disclosed” activity, check both dates. An October 9 House filing may cover trades from three or four weeks earlier. For the rules behind that gap, see STOCK Act filing delay explained.

How to research this week's filings on ProBors

  1. Open Congressional trades and sort by filing date descending to mirror this snapshot.
  2. Filter by House and search Cisneros to isolate the October 9 batch before reading individual tickers.
  3. Filter by politician Larsen for the October 12 rebalance lines (WSM, HD, FDX, ADI).
  4. Sort by signal score when you want the 15 Worth watching rows before scanning all 48 Normal lines.
  5. Open the politician profile for any member with bond lines missing tickers—the security description lives in the disclosure text.
  6. 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 mid-October does not mean the politician traded that week. Cisneros’s October 9 filing bundles September activity across dozens of lines—it is not evidence of 55 separate decisions made on filing day. Bond and authority lines describe debt instruments, not a view on a listed equity. Larsen’s same-day WSM buy and HD sale may reflect a rebalance note in the PTR text, not a macro call on retail. Gottheimer’s AMAT and MCD trims are small brackets. Fetterman’s Dell note purchase is fixed income. Worth watching tiers help researchers prioritize reading—they are not proof of non-public information. None of these disclosures are trade signals.

FAQ

How many congressional trades were filed in mid-October 2026?

ProBors shows 63 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates between October 6 and October 12, 2026, across four politicians. The count is after removing identical politician-asset-type-date-amount-chamber duplicates.

Why does Gilbert Cisneros account for most rows this week?

Cisneros filed a large October 9 House batch covering many equities plus several municipal and authority bond lines. ProBors expands each bracket line separately, which is why one filing week can produce dozens of rows.

Which filing had the shortest lag in this window?

Rep. Rick Larsen’s October 12 House filing reports October 8 trade dates on WSM, HD, FDX, and ADI—a 4-day lag on each line in this snapshot.

Were there any High signal disclosures in this period?

No. ProBors shows 15 Worth watching and 48 Normal rows in the October 6–October 12 filing window—none labeled High signal in this pull.

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.
