Bill Foster: No Disclosed Stock Trades

Bill Foster, the Democratic representative for Illinois's 11th congressional district, has no disclosed securities transactions in Quantellect's database for his current term, which began January 3, 2025 and runs through January 3, 2027. There are no purchases, sales, or other reportable transactions on record, no attributed activity under his own name, a spouse, jointly, or a dependent child, and consequently no trading history, sector pattern, or transaction-frequency profile to analyze.

That absence is itself the data point worth understanding in context. As of August 22, 2026, 276 of the 537 sitting members of Congress tracked by Quantellect show zero disclosed trades, including 237 of 437 sitting House members and 39 of 100 sitting senators. Foster sits within that majority-sized group of lawmakers for whom Quantellect records no disclosed securities transactions during the tracked period. A silent trading record is common on Capitol Hill, not unusual, and it does not by itself indicate an unfilled Periodic Transaction Report obligation: the House financial disclosure instruction guide states that no PTR is due when there are no reportable transactions, although transactions may still need to be disclosed on an annual financial disclosure report.

How Congressional Trade Disclosure Works

Members of Congress are required to file Periodic Transaction Reports for covered securities transactions involving assets owned by themselves, their spouses, or their dependent children under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012. The House Committee on Ethics publishes detailed filing instructions, including what counts as a reportable transaction, applicable thresholds and exclusions, and how spouse, dependent-child, and jointly owned assets are identified, in its financial disclosure instruction guide. Quantellect separately tags transaction rows as attributed to the member, a spouse, jointly, a dependent child, or unknown based on the available disclosure data. Foster's record contains zero transactions across every one of those categories, so no attribution judgment applies here; there is simply no transaction row to attribute.

Scoring and Coverage

Quantellect's trading-activity score is not available for Foster. The absence reason recorded in our system is direct: no score row exists for this subject at the latest published score date. That status does not itself express a judgment about his conduct. At the latest published score date of August 21, 2026, 76 members have a published score, 73 of whom are currently sitting, meaning score coverage across the 537 sitting members of Congress remains the exception rather than the rule. Foster has no transaction rows for the current term, and Quantellect's system currently supplies no score row for him.

For readers using this page as a reference point, the practical takeaway is narrow but firm: based on the disclosures captured in Quantellect's database, Bill Foster has no recorded securities trading activity, no attributed transactions by category, and no trading-activity score for the current congressional term. Should reportable transactions be filed and captured in a future reporting cycle, this profile will reflect the dates, amounts, tickers, and attribution exactly as disclosed. Until then, the accurate description of his record is an absence of disclosed activity, set against a backdrop in which more than half of sitting House members currently show the same.

Disclosure and Data Notes

This profile is built from congressional financial disclosure data as captured by Quantellect and reflects the state of that data as of August 22, 2026. It covers transaction disclosures only and does not constitute investment advice. Figures describing the broader population of members, including counts of members with zero disclosed trades, are drawn from Quantellect's own measurement of that population as of the date noted above; score counts reflect the latest published score date of August 21, 2026. These figures may change as new disclosures are filed and processed. Readers seeking the underlying legal framework for these disclosure requirements can consult the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 and the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide linked above.
