John Garamendi Stock Trades

John Garamendi Congressional Trading Activity | Quantellect John Garamendi Congressional Trading Activity

John Garamendi's congressional trading record is thin and, for the moment, frozen. The California Democrat's disclosures show fifteen transactions from 2012 to 2022, and none of them belong to him personally. Every one of the fifteen trades is attributed to either his spouse or jointly, a pattern that holds across the entire history in the disclosure record.

The most recent activity comprised four transactions dated January 14, 2022, disclosed a week later on January 21. The filing recorded four sales in one day, all attributed to Garamendi's spouse: Twitter, Inc., Granite Construction Incorporated, Block, Inc. under ticker SQ, and Meta Platforms Class A stock listed under its former ticker, FB. Each was reported in the $1,001 to $15,000 range, except the Meta sale, which fell in the $15,001 to $50,000 band. Through August 21, 2026, Quantellect's database contains no later disclosed transaction.

A decade of infrequent, mostly-sold activity

Across the fifteen disclosed transactions dating back to August 2012, sales heavily outnumber purchases: twelve sales against three purchases. Attribution splits between spouse (six transactions) and joint attribution (nine transactions); none are marked as Garamendi's own direct trades. That distinction matters. A joint or spousal designation on a House financial disclosure does not necessarily reflect the member's personal investment decisions, and the data here does not support describing this as personal stock-picking by the congressman.

The year-by-year activity is sparse and irregular rather than trending in a clear direction: two transactions in 2012, four in 2013, three in 2016, two in 2017, and four in 2022, with no disclosed activity in the years between. The 2013 cluster included two purchases, Twitter stock and Granite Construction, both under joint attribution, alongside two sales, one involving a note-for-stock exchange with WormMedia and one a cattle sale. The 2016 activity included a joint purchase of Solazyme, Inc. (SZYM) and two joint sales tied to a company disclosed as HealthFusion. One of those HealthFusion sales fell in the $250,001 to $500,000 range, the single largest amount range across the entire filing history.

Granite Construction and SZYM are the two tickered securities disclosed more than once with both a purchase and a sale on record. Granite Construction appeared in a joint purchase in November 2013 and a spousal sale in January 2022. Granite Construction Incorporated is an infrastructure and materials company, providing construction and rehabilitation services for roads, bridges, rail lines, airports, and water systems, along with aggregates, asphalt, and related materials, primarily for public agencies and municipal clients in the United States. Solazyme-related activity appears in three disclosures: a spousal sale in 2012, a joint SZYM purchase in 2016, and a spousal SZYM sale in 2017.

Disclosure mechanics and scope of this record

These figures reflect fifteen transactions captured in Quantellect's disclosure database. The latest four transactions appear in Garamendi's January 21, 2022 Periodic Transaction Report filed with the House Clerk's disclosure system. Members of Congress and their spouses are required to disclose transactions above certain thresholds under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012, with reporting rules detailed in the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide. Amounts are disclosed as ranges rather than exact figures, consistent with STOCK Act reporting requirements.

This page is limited to disclosed transaction activity. As of the latest published scoring date, August 21, 2026, Garamendi does not have a Quantellect Score because no score row exists for him at that date.
