George Whitesides Stock Trades

Every disclosed trade tied to Representative George Whitesides in the database is a sale. Thirty-five transactions in total, zero purchases, and every one of them dated between March 24 and March 27, 2025. There is no gradual accumulation to trace and no rotation back into new names to weigh against it. The record, as filed, shows a single concentrated selling window covering a broad slice of large-cap America, followed by silence.

The California Democrat, who represents the 27th District and has served since January 2025, discloses trading activity across a wide range of tickers. Thirty-four of the thirty-five transactions are attributed to Whitesides himself. One, a sale of Innoviva Inc (INVA) dated March 25, 2025, is attributed to a spouse. Innoviva is also the only security that appears twice in the filings, with a second, self-attributed sale of the same stock dated March 24, 2025. Every other name on the list was sold once.

A Concentrated Liquidation Wave, Not a Trading Pattern

Because the disclosed history covers only the 2025 calendar year, there is no earlier period in the data to compare it against, and no basis here for describing this as a change from some prior habit. What the record does show clearly is concentration in time. Most of the thirty-five sales carry a March 24, 2025 transaction date and were disclosed together on April 23, 2025, in a single filing. Two more, Netflix Inc (NFLX) and Planet Labs PBC (PL), were transacted on March 27, 2025, but landed in two different disclosures: the Netflix sale reported April 23, 2025, and the Planet Labs sale reported separately on August 13, 2025, in its own filing. The Innoviva spousal sale on March 25, 2025, was also folded into the April 23 batch.

The sector breakdown of the thirty-five sales is broad rather than thematic. Industrials accounts for seven transactions, Financials six, Health Care six, Communication Services three, Consumer Discretionary three, Consumer Staples three, Information Technology three, Utilities two, Materials one, and one transaction carries no assigned sector. That spread, touching everything from railroads to insurers to pharmaceutical royalty companies, reads less like a sector call and more like a wholesale exit from a diversified basket of blue-chip and mid-cap names in one filing cycle.

Within that basket, a handful of transactions carry the largest disclosed dollar ranges in the group. The self-attributed Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) sale and the spouse-attributed Innoviva sale are both logged in the $250,001 to $500,000 range, the top bracket among the thirty-five disclosures. A tier below that, in the $100,001 to $250,000 range, sits a longer list: Netflix, Marsh & McLennan Companies (MMC), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Linde plc (LIN), Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL), Chubb Ltd (CB), Republic Services (RSG), The Coca-Cola Company (KO), McDonald's Corporation (MCD), The Home Depot (HD), Novartis AG (NVS), and Procter & Gamble Company (PG). The smallest disclosed ranges, $1,001 to $15,000, belong to Sandoz Group AG (SDZNY) and Virgin Galactic Holdings (SPCE).

The companies named span industries that matter to different kinds of investors for different reasons. Innoviva holds a royalty portfolio built around respiratory and infectious-disease therapies including RELVAR/BREO ELLIPTA and ANORO ELLIPTA. Planet Labs operates satellite constellations that sell daily geospatial imagery to government and commercial customers. Union Pacific Corporation (UNP) and Republic Services run, respectively, national freight rail and environmental services networks. Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT), RTX Corporation (RTX), and Rockwell Automation (ROK) sit in aerospace, defense, and industrial automation, three of the seven names behind the Industrials sector count. JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), and Visa Inc (V) make up a large share of the Financials total, alongside insurers Chubb and Marsh & McLennan.

Against the wider population, disclosed trading of this volume is not the norm. Of the 537 sitting members of Congress measured as of August 23, 2026, 276 show zero disclosed trades, including 237 of the 437 sitting House members. Whitesides's thirty-five filed transactions place him outside that non-trading majority, even though the activity itself is confined to a single, tightly dated event rather than an ongoing pattern.
