Janice D. Schakowsky Stock Trades

The financial disclosure record for Representative Janice D. Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat representing the state's 9th District, is unusually narrow and tells a story of restraint rather than activity. Across the entire disclosure history captured in the data, there are exactly four reported transactions, filed in a single report with a disclosure date of May 20, 2014, and every one of them is a sale. There are no purchases on record, and not a single transaction is attributed to Schakowsky herself. Three of the four are tied to her spouse, and the fourth is a joint transaction. That combination, all sales and none personally attributed, is the defining fact of this profile.

A Thin, Spouse-Driven Record

The four transactions split across two calendar years: three occurred on April 14, 2014, and one dates back to August 14, 2012. All four carry a disclosure date of May 20, 2014, and appear in the same official financial disclosure filing. The distinction between those transaction dates and the later disclosure date is important. The record establishes when each transaction occurred and when it was disclosed, but it does not establish the reason for the gap or support a conclusion about intent or compliance.

Attribution matters here. Three of the four sales, the three from April 2014, are coded as spouse transactions: sales involving Calamos Investment Global Growth + Income, Amcap Fund Inc. Class A, and Putnam Equity Inc., each in a disclosed range of $1,000 to $15,000. The fourth, the 2012 transaction, is coded as joint and involved a larger disclosed range of $15,001 to $50,000 in a security the filing describes as "Example: Mega Corp, Common Stock." None of the four carries the "self" attribution code, so nothing in this record supports describing all four as trades Schakowsky made personally. The data supports describing them as three spouse-attributed sales and one jointly attributed sale; the joint category alone does not identify who made the investment decision.

The record supplies security names but no separate instrument-type classification. It identifies the three spouse-attributed sales by the Calamos, Amcap, and Putnam names, while the jointly attributed transaction carries the "Example: Mega Corp, Common Stock" description. Those names alone do not substantiate a broader characterization of diversification, strategy, or investment intent. No sector or industry classification is available for any of the four transactions, and the underlying company-description, company-name, sector, and industry fields are empty in the record. This profile therefore cannot characterize the activity by theme, industry, or investment thesis beyond the supplied security names. No ticker symbols are present in the transaction data either.

What the Disclosures Show, and What They Don't

This dataset contains transaction disclosures only and provides no separate asset-ownership disclosure to describe alongside them. The four sale rows are the entirety of what the transaction data shows. Because there is no purchase activity anywhere in the captured record, and no earlier or later transaction period against which to compare 2012 and 2014, there is no basis here for describing a shift, an escalation, or a change in trading behavior over time. What can be said is limited to the two years the record actually contains: one transaction in 2012, three in 2014, all sales, all carrying the same disclosure date.

Schakowsky does not currently have a Quantellect Score. No score row exists for her at the latest published scoring date of August 21, 2026. At that date, 76 members had a score, including 73 sitting members. Separately, the population measurement dated August 22, 2026, counted 537 sitting members of Congress: 437 in the House and 100 in the Senate. Of those sitting members, 276 had no disclosed trades on record at all, including 237 House members and 39 senators. Schakowsky's captured record contains four disclosed sales: three attributed to her spouse and one attributed jointly.

Disclosure and Data Notes

This profile is built from transaction data associated with the official House filing linked above. The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 establishes congressional transaction-reporting requirements, while the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide describes the applicable reporting categories and dollar ranges. Reported amounts in this article are disclosed ranges, not exact transaction values. Spouse and joint attribution codes identify reporting categories and do not, by themselves, establish that Schakowsky personally made an investment decision. This page describes disclosed transaction activity only and has no available Quantellect Score for this subject.
