If you've ever searched for a Pelosi stock tracker alternative, you're asking one question: which politicians trade, and can you see it? The answer is yes, through congress stock trades disclosed under the STOCK Act.
Members must report trades over $1,000 within 45 days on Periodic Transaction Reports. The catch: amounts are reported as ranges, like $15,001 to $50,000, and the delay means you're always looking backward. It is transparency with a built-in lag, and you have to read it that way.
What the filings do show is positioning. A representative buying defense stocks before a committee vote is worth knowing about, even if you can't trade on it in real time. Party-labeled data adds another layer, showing which sectors each side of the aisle favors.

Transparency has limits. Use it for context, not copy-trading.
