About John Thune's congressional trading
John Thune's disclosed trading record in the Senate is nearly bare. Only two transactions appear in his filings, both tied to the same REIT exchange-and-sale sequence, and the last transaction dates to May 2022. In the August 22, 2026 population snapshot, 276 sitting senators and representatives had zero disclosed trades in the dataset, placing Thune among lawmakers whose public trading footprint offers investors very little to work with.
The two transactions form a connected sequence. The first occurred on December 16, 2021: shares of Steadfast Income REIT were exchanged for shares of Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (IRT), in a disclosed amount range of $15,001 to $50,000. The filing classifies the transaction as an exchange rather than a purchase. Then, on May 5, 2022, a full sale of IRT was recorded, again in the $15,001 to $50,000 range. Both transactions are attributed to Thune personally (Self), with no spousal, joint, or dependent-child attribution involved. The exchange was disclosed on January 14, 2022, and the sale was disclosed on May 12, 2022.
An Exchange Followed by a Full Sale
Independence Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust that owns and operates multifamily apartment communities across non-gateway U.S. markets, with a strategy built around scale near major employment centers in amenity-rich submarkets with good school districts and retail access. The supplied company description identifies IRT as an S&P MidCap 400 company, and the transaction data classifies it in the Real Estate sector, specifically the Residential REITs industry. Its stated investment objective emphasizes risk-adjusted shareholder returns through operational performance, capital management, distributions, and capital appreciation.
What the data shows is a beginning-to-end transaction sequence for IRT within Thune's disclosed activity: the security was received through the Steadfast Income REIT exchange in December 2021 and recorded in a full sale less than five months later. Because the first transaction is classified as an exchange rather than a purchase, the record contains no disclosed purchase transaction. The later filing labels the $15,001 to $50,000 transaction as a “Sale (Full).”
By sector, the record splits evenly between Real Estate and an “Unknown” classification. The December 2021 exchange row has no normalized company name or sector value, while the May 2022 sale carries full identification for Independence Realty Trust. IRT is the only company named across both transaction descriptions, while Steadfast Income REIT appears only as the security exchanged in the first transaction. In the standardized frequency table, IRT is represented by the fully identified sale row.
What the Record Does and Does Not Support
With just two transactions between December 16, 2021, and May 5, 2022, there is not enough disclosed history to characterize Thune as an active or habitual trader, nor to identify a sector preference or thematic pattern beyond this single REIT exchange-and-sale sequence. No transaction dated later than May 5, 2022, appears in the dataset, and the record contains no purchases at all, only one sale and one exchange.
Thune does not have a published Quantellect Score at the latest scoring date because no score row exists for him. As of August 21, 2026, 76 members had a score in the dataset, including 73 sitting members. No score, tier, coverage state, or cohort rank is supplied for Thune.
Disclosure and Attribution Notes
Financial disclosures for members of Congress are governed by the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012, which establishes periodic transaction-reporting requirements for reportable trades. Dollar amounts are disclosed in ranges rather than exact figures, and the ranges cited here ($15,001 to $50,000 for both transactions) reflect the filed disclosure bands, not precise transaction values. Both transactions in this record are attributed to Thune himself; the filings do not indicate spousal, joint, or dependent involvement. Readers can view the underlying filings directly: the May 2022 sale filing and the December 2021 exchange filing. General information about Senate disclosure requirements is available from the Senate Select Committee on Ethics. This profile reflects disclosed transaction data only and does not address non-public financial activity or activity outside applicable disclosure requirements.
