About David McCormick's congressional trading

David McCormick's Disclosed Trading Activity

David McCormick's financial disclosures show 339 transactions from the earliest transaction date in the database, February 18, 2024, through the most recent transaction date in the record, July 22, 2026. As of August 22, 2026, that places him well outside the norm for Congress: of the 537 sitting members tracked, 276 have no disclosed trades on record at all, including 39 of the 100 sitting senators. McCormick is not one of them. His filings show 262 purchases and 77 sales. The 2025 total breaks down into 166 purchases and 24 sales; the 2026 total through July includes 95 purchases and 53 sales. The database recorded 190 transactions across 2025 and 148 dated from January through July 2026, alongside a single transaction dated in 2024, the year before his current Senate term began on January 3, 2025.

Two distinct attribution streams appear in the record. Of the 339 total transactions, 72 are attributed to McCormick himself and 267 to his spouse, with no joint or dependent-child transactions on record. Those two attribution streams look different in the recent transactions detailed below.

Two Attribution Streams, Two Patterns

The recent self-attributed transactions detailed in the May, June and July 2026 filings fall into a small, consistent category: Pennsylvania municipal bonds reported as purchases in large disclosed ranges. Examples include a Pittsburgh Water & Sewer Authority bond purchased July 22, 2026 in the $500,001 to $1,000,000 range; an Allegheny County general obligation bond purchased July 14, 2026, also $500,001 to $1,000,000; a Pocono Mountain School District bond purchased July 8, 2026 for $250,001 to $500,000; an Allegheny County Sanitary Authority sewer revenue bond purchased June 18, 2026 for $250,001 to $500,000; a Philadelphia Airport revenue bond purchased May 8, 2026 for $500,001 to $1,000,000; and a Cumberland Valley School District bond purchased May 6, 2026, again $500,001 to $1,000,000. Each of these highlighted self-attributed transactions is listed as a purchase; none of the examples is a sale.

The spouse-attributed activity in those same recent filings looks entirely different, and spouse-attributed transactions account for the bulk of the 339 disclosed transactions. A large share of the recent activity consists of recurring purchases of Goldman Sachs Managed Structured Note Strategy notes linked to the S&P 500 and to the MSCI EAFE index, typically disclosed in the $50,001 to $250,000 range and appearing repeatedly through the spring of 2026. Layered on top of that is a separate, periodic pattern: single-day batches of municipal bond sales spanning bonds issued by Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, Maryland, Wisconsin and Nevada public authorities and school districts. The June 26, 2026 disclosure lists a broad batch of full and partial sales with a May 26 transaction date, all attributed to the spouse. Similar batches carry April 30 and June 29, 2026 transaction dates. Taken together, the recent filings feature repeated municipal-bond sales and structured-note purchases rather than corporate-equity transactions.

Beyond that recent municipal-bond and structured-note activity, four ticker-bearing securities stand out in the database's transaction-frequency summary. The Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, ticker BITB, was disclosed 22 separate times, all purchases, with the most recent dated November 28, 2025. It is the single most frequently disclosed security in McCormick's record. The transaction-frequency summary does not provide an attribution breakdown for those 22 BITB rows, so this profile does not assign them to either McCormick or his spouse. Goldman Sachs Group Inc, ticker GS and classified in the Financials sector, was disclosed twice, both sales, the most recent dated January 23, 2026. Rumble Inc, ticker RUM and classified in Communication Services, was disclosed once, a sale dated January 16, 2025. A fourth ticker, IJR, was disclosed once as a sale on May 6, 2025, with no company name or sector recorded. In the sector summary, 336 of the 339 total transactions fall into an unclassified "Unknown" bucket, while two are tagged Financials and one Communication Services. Only the Goldman Sachs and Rumble transactions carry a specific sector tag.

Score, Coverage and Important Disclosures

Quantellect's trading-activity score, calculated under formula version politician_bw_score.v3 as of August 21, 2026, rates McCormick's disclosed activity in the "weak" tier with a score of 3, ranking him 75th in a scored cohort of 76 members. That places him near the bottom of the scored group. Score coverage across Congress remains partial: 76 members have a score under this formula, and 73 of them are currently serving. For context, the broader population snapshot, measured August 22, 2026, includes 537 sitting members. The same population snapshot lists 437 sitting House members and 100 sitting senators.

Disclosures of this kind are subject to the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, which requires members of Congress and covered staff to publicly report transactions in stocks, bonds and other covered securities within a set window after execution. The Senate Select Committee on Ethics provides the related financial-disclosure guidance. This profile presents only what the filings disclose. It draws no conclusion about intent, and it does not attribute any transaction to McCormick personally where the filing identifies the actor as his spouse. Structured notes, municipal bonds and exchange-traded funds are reported here using the classifications supplied in the underlying data; where a security's sector, description or company name was not available in the source record, none has been supplied. This is an informational profile, not investment advice, and it is not a complete or verified record of the subject's financial interests beyond what has been disclosed under the reporting rules cited above.

Source filings referenced in this profile are available through the July 2026 disclosure, the June 2026 disclosure, and the May 2026 disclosure. Those filings carry disclosure dates of July 29, June 26 and May 28, 2026, respectively; the transaction dates discussed above remain distinct from those filing dates.
