James P. McGovern Trading Disclosures | Quantellect James P. McGovern Trading Disclosures

James P. McGovern's public trading disclosures are narrow and dated: three transactions, all sales, all filed in a single report tied to activity from April 2017. The available transaction dataset contains no later activity for the Massachusetts Democrat, who represents the state's 2nd Congressional District and currently serves a term running from January 2025 to January 2027.

At the latest published trading-score date, August 21, 2026, the score data contains rows for 76 members overall, including 73 sitting members. McGovern is not among them: no score row exists for him at that scoring date, so no tier, ranking, or cohort comparison is available. His three disclosed transactions therefore should not be treated as producing a published Quantellect score.

A Single 2017 Filing, Attributed to a Spouse

All three disclosed transactions carry the same transaction date, April 21, 2017, and the same disclosure date, May 23, 2017, meaning they were reported together on one periodic transaction report. Each is coded as a sale, and each carries the attribution label "Spouse," meaning the trading activity reflected in this filing is attributed to McGovern's spouse rather than to the congressman personally. The House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide explains that covered transactions involving a filer, spouse, or dependent child are reportable through this framework.

Each of the three sales fell in the same disclosed value range, $1,001 to $15,000. These are reporting categories rather than exact transaction amounts, so the filing does not establish where within that range any sale fell. The securities involved were CBS Corporation Class B shares (CBS), Viacom Inc. Class B shares (VIAB), and General Electric Company (GE), the company now doing business as GE Aerospace. All three carry the same transaction date, report date, transaction type, attribution, and disclosed value range.

Two of the three securities, CBS and Viacom, fall into an unclassified sector in this dataset, so no sector or industry detail is supplied for them. The third, General Electric, is coded to the Industrials sector, specifically Aerospace & Defense. GE Aerospace designs and produces commercial and defense aircraft engines, integrated engine components, electric power, and aircraft systems. Its reported segments are Commercial Engines & Services and Defense & Propulsion Technologies. The company was incorporated in 1892 and is based in Evendale, Ohio, serving governments, militaries, and commercial airframe manufacturers across the United States, Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa.

The fact that GE, CBS, and Viacom appear together as same-day sales is notable mainly for what it does not show: there is no disclosed purchase activity in the available record. The dataset's counts are unambiguous on this point, zero purchases, three sales, and zero other transaction types across the captured history. With only one year of activity on record, 2017, and no later transactions in the available data, there is no basis to describe a recurring trading pattern, a shift in strategy, or a change in sector focus over time. What exists is a single snapshot: three spouse-attributed sales dated on one day.

Because this disclosure history stops in 2017, there is no later disclosed transaction activity to summarize for McGovern, his spouse, or a dependent child in the available dataset. CBS, GE, and VIAB each appear in one transaction row, so they tie as the most frequently disclosed securities by transaction count. That label reflects transaction frequency only and makes no claim beyond the disclosed activity. Periodic transaction reports document covered transaction events; this profile does not use them to infer anything that the filing does not state.
