James Lankford: No Disclosed Stock Trades

James Lankford | Quantellect James Lankford

James Lankford, the Republican senator from Oklahoma, has no disclosed securities transactions on record. In the population snapshot supplied for this profile, 276 of 537 sitting members of Congress show zero disclosed trades, including 39 of the 100 sitting senators. Lankford falls into that group. For a reader trying to size up how this particular senator trades, the honest answer is that the disclosure record gives no trading activity to describe, not a small amount of it.

That distinction matters. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012 established prompt reporting requirements for covered transactions. The Senate Select Committee on Ethics financial disclosure guidance states that a Periodic Transaction Report generally covers a purchase, sale, or exchange of more than $1,000 in a stock, bond, commodities future, or other non-excepted security. It must be filed within 30 days after the filer receives written notification and no later than 45 days after the transaction. A senator's reporting responsibilities can also cover relevant transactions involving a spouse or dependent child. For Lankford, the supplied dataset contains no transaction to attribute personally, to a spouse or dependent child, jointly, or to an unknown party.

What a Zero-Disclosure Record Means for Investors

This profile is built from transaction disclosures. Senate reporting rules contain thresholds and exclusions, and the guidance distinguishes Periodic Transaction Reports from some transactions reported through annual filings. A zero-transaction record should therefore be read narrowly: it establishes that no reportable transaction appears in the supplied dataset, but it does not establish why none appears. For Lankford, the practical takeaway is that there is no purchase, sale, exchange, or other disclosed transaction in the dataset to analyze for timing, sizing, sector concentration, or attribution.

It's also worth being precise about what attribution would mean if a record existed. Congressional transaction disclosures can reflect activity attributed personally to the member, to a spouse, to a dependent child, jointly, or to an account where the responsible party is not identified. Because Lankford has no disclosed transactions in the dataset, all of those attribution categories have a count of zero, and there is nothing to assign to him, a spouse, or any other party. A future filing, if one appears, would need to be read the same way as any other member's disclosure: by checking the transaction date separately from the disclosure date and confirming attribution before treating the filing as evidence of a personal investment decision.

Score Coverage and Where Lankford Stands

Separately from the transaction record, Quantellect publishes a score for some members. As of August 21, 2026, 76 members have a score, of whom 73 are currently sitting. Lankford is not among them: no score row exists for him at that published scoring date. The supplied score data consequently provides no formula version, score, tier, coverage state, cohort rank, or cohort size for Lankford. His profile should therefore list him as unscored rather than assign a value or ranking that the data does not provide.

Put in context, Lankford's zero-disclosure status is common but not universal. The supplied population snapshot lists 39 of 100 sitting senators with no disclosed trades and 237 of 437 sitting House members with none. A reader comparing members across Quantellect should keep that context in mind: a profile showing no trades is not an anomaly, and a profile showing frequent trades is not automatically more scrutiny-worthy than one showing none. They are different records within the same disclosure system, and comparisons should rest on the activity actually present in each member's data.

Disclosure and Data Notes

• This Quantellect profile reflects congressional transaction disclosures as processed into the internal database. A zero-transaction record is not a complete accounting of an individual's or household's finances.
• Transactions disclosed under a member's name may be attributed to the member, a spouse, a dependent child, jointly, or to an unidentified party. Attribution should be confirmed at the transaction level rather than assumed.
• Score figures reflect the latest published scoring date. James Lankford has no score row at that date, so no score, tier, or ranking is presented.
• Population figures reflect the snapshot supplied for this profile, while score counts are dated August 21, 2026. The figures are drawn from internal data rather than estimates or projections.
