Congressional Stock Trades & Disclosures
John James is a U.S. Representative, a Republican representing MI. As of July 2026, Quantellect has tracked 274 disclosed stock trades across 141 companies, representing $2.3M in disclosed transaction value, each filed publicly under the STOCK Act.
About John James's congressional trading
John James's disclosed transaction record splits into two distinct chapters that bookend a striking pattern: 108 purchases across 2023 with almost no selling, followed by 144 sales in 2024, and then no disclosed transactions in 2025 before the only transaction recorded in 2026, a purchase attributed not to the congressman himself but to his spouse.
Across the full disclosure record, James, a Republican representing Michigan's 10th District, has 274 transactions dated between November 10, 2023 and June 12, 2026: 129 purchases and 145 sales. The database codes 273 transactions as SELF and one, the most recent, as SP for spouse. That coding requires context: the official reports covering the 2023 purchases and 2024 sales identify the John A. James Children’s Trust in the ownership information. See the filing covering the 2023 purchases and earlier 2024 activity and the September 2024 periodic transaction report. The SELF code therefore should not be treated as proof that James personally selected or directed those transactions. No score row exists for James at the latest published score date. The population context lists scores for 76 members overall, including 73 of the 537 sitting members.
A Buildout, a Liquidation, and a Quiet Restart
The shape of the timeline is unusual. In 2023, the profile records 109 transactions, 108 of them purchases and just a single sale, reflecting broad disclosed activity across many individual names. In 2024, the pattern inverted almost completely: 164 transactions, with only 20 purchases against 144 sales. A large block of those sales, spanning nearly every major sector, carries the same transaction date of September 4, 2024 and the same disclosure date of September 6, 2024. That filing includes names as varied as Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Lockheed Martin, RTX, Bank of America, Walmart, and Merck, marking a broad wave of disclosed sales after the prior year's purchase-heavy activity. The by-year data contains no entries for 2025, meaning the record shows no disclosed transactions in that year. Activity resumes in 2026 with exactly one transaction: a purchase in the disclosed range of $15,001 to $50,000 involving Space Exploration Technologies Corp. The database identifies the security as SPCX and labels the company field “SpaceX CDR (CAD Hedged).” The transaction is dated June 12, 2026 and was disclosed July 12, 2026. It is the record's only SP-coded transaction and is attributed to James's spouse, so it cannot be described as James's personal trade.
Sector Footprint and Frequently Disclosed Names
Viewed across the full 274-transaction history, the disclosed activity is broad rather than concentrated in any one theme. Information Technology leads with 44 transactions, followed closely by Health Care (42), Financials (38), and Industrials (35). Consumer Staples (24), Communication Services (21), Consumer Discretionary (18), Energy (14), Materials (13), Utilities (10), and Real Estate (6) round out the classified sectors, with 9 transactions tied to securities whose sector could not be classified. No single sector dominates the count, reinforcing the breadth of the disclosed transaction activity.
The most frequently disclosed names, ranked by transaction count rather than dollar size, include Medtronic and NVIDIA at four transactions apiece, and Air Products and Chemicals, American Express, Cardinal Health, Crown Castle, Electronic Arts, Elevance Health, Alphabet Class C, KLA, Lam Research, Mondelez International, Progressive, Ross Stores, and Visa at three each. Medtronic appears twice as a purchase and twice as a sale, while NVIDIA appears three times as a purchase and once as a sale. Medtronic is a global medical-device maker whose disclosed business description spans cardiovascular, neuroscience, and medical-surgical products. Crown Castle, disclosed twice as a purchase and once as a sale, owns, operates, and leases approximately 40,000 U.S. cell towers. Lockheed Martin and RTX, both sold in the September 2024 batch, are classified as aerospace and defense companies: Lockheed Martin's disclosed description covers aircraft, missile, and space systems, while RTX's covers commercial and military aerospace, defense, and space operations. Crown Castle, Prologis, Public Storage, and AvalonBay, all sold on September 4, represent Real Estate businesses spanning telecom infrastructure, logistics, self-storage, and residential communities. The transaction-frequency ranking identifies repeated security names, while the sector counts show how the full disclosure record is distributed across the market.
