Vern Buchanan Stock Trades

Vern Buchanan Congressional Trading Activity | Quantellect Vern Buchanan Congressional Trading Activity

Vern Buchanan's disclosures do not describe a stock trader. The record counts 235 transactions from January 28, 2014, through February 15, 2022, while the supplied security names describe municipal debt issued by cities, counties, school districts and public authorities across the country.

The most recent activity is a cluster of 23 sales on February 14 and 15, 2022, disclosed together on March 24, 2022. Every one of those 23 transactions is a sale, and the batch's security names point to municipal debt: water, sewer and utility issues associated with Houston, Chicago, Laredo and King County, Washington; a Parkland school district issue; transportation-related names tied to New York, Washington, D.C., and Texas; and issues associated with Dallas, New York, Baltimore and St. Petersburg, Florida. Amount ranges on these disclosures run from $15,001 up to $250,000 per line item. That two-day, 23-line batch is also the entire recorded activity for 2022 in this dataset, according to the packet's year-by-year history, which lists 2022 as 23 transactions, all sales, with the most recent one dated February 15, 2022.

Zooming out, the yearly history shows an account that has consistently traded on both sides. 2014, the first year in the record, was the busiest with 59 transactions (30 purchases, 29 sales). Activity then settled into the teens and thirties for most of the following years: 36 transactions in 2015, 33 in 2016, 16 in 2017, 17 in 2018, 18 in 2019, 25 in 2020, before dropping to just 8 in 2021 and then the 23-transaction, all-sale cluster in 2022. Across the full 2014-2022 span, the packet counts 101 purchases against 134 sales out of 235 total transactions, a mix that skews toward selling but has never been purely one-directional in any year until the final one recorded.

Trading activity built entirely around municipal debt

Every disclosed transaction in this record is attributed to "Self," aside from two joint transactions, two attributed to a spouse, and one attributed to a dependent child, according to the attribution breakdown supplied in the packet (230 Self, 2 SP, 2 JT, 1 DC). The packet groups all 235 transactions in its "Unknown" sector category, and the supplied line items leave the ticker, company name, company description, sector and industry fields blank. The security names identify municipal debt rather than corporate equities, so the packet does not associate the rows with corporate issuers or stock tickers. Those names identify the issuing government body or public authority and often include the bond's coupon and maturity, for example "Colorado St Hlth Fac 5% 01/01/24" or "Houston TX Utility Sys 5% 11/18/2028."

Several 2020 filing rows carry an unusual formatting quirk, with security names that append filing-status text and a reference to "BNY Mellon 5000." The packet preserves that wording in the security-name field, records those rows as sales attributed to Self, and does not provide a separate account classification or explanation for the embedded text.

The line-item record centers on dated purchases and sales rather than company fundamentals. For each supplied row, the packet records the security name, transaction date, disclosure date, transaction type and disclosed value range, while ticker and corporate-description fields are blank.

About this disclosure record and its limits

This profile is built from official congressional financial disclosure filings. Under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012 and the House Committee on Ethics instruction guide, periodic transaction reports identify transaction dates and types and report transaction amounts by value category rather than as exact dollar figures. Buchanan's most recent filing in the packet is the March 24, 2022 House Clerk filing. Because the packet contains transaction disclosures rather than a present-day asset inventory, this profile describes only reported purchases and sales and does not provide a present-day asset snapshot. As of the August 21, 2026 scoring date, Buchanan has no Quantellect Score row; 76 members had scores, including 73 sitting members. The population snapshot measured August 22, 2026, lists 537 sitting members, including 437 House members, of whom 237 have no disclosed trades in the tracked dataset.
