Congressional stock trading is a topic that gets people riled up. Every time a lawmaker files a disclosure, retail investors comb through it, looking for clues. And when the lawmaker is someone who has moved millions of dollars in stocks over the past few years, people pay extra attention.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) just filed his first trade disclosures of 2026, and the pattern is clear: he's selling. The disclosures, reported by MarketDash, show 11 transactions, all sales, executed on June 8 and June 9. Here's the full list:
- Sold $1,000 to $15,000 in Accenture (ACN) stock
- Sold $1,000 to $15,000 in Tractor Supply (TSCO) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in Procter & Gamble (PG) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in Pfizer (PFE) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in NextEra Energy (NEE) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in Mastercard (MA) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in Lockheed Martin (LMT) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in Duke Energy (DUK) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in CSX Corp (CSX) stock
- Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in American Water Works (AWK) stock
- Sold $1,000 to $15,000 in Westinghouse Air Brake (WAB) stock
All of these trades happened on June 8, except for the Westinghouse Air Brake sale, which was on June 9. The dollar ranges are standard for congressional disclosures — they report buckets, not exact amounts.
Tuberville sits on the Senate Agriculture Committee, which makes the Tractor Supply sale worth noting. He's also on the Armed Services Committee, so the Lockheed Martin sale could draw some scrutiny. But the senator has a standard answer for questions about his trading: he doesn't make the calls.
Tuberville's Trading History and His Stance on the Ban
If you look at Tuberville's trading history, he's been one of the most active members of Congress. Since 2021, he has bought and sold $38 million in stocks, according to data from Quiver Quantitative. That includes at least $6 million in trading activity each year from 2021 through 2024. In 2025, things slowed down — just $1.1 million in activity. And now, in 2026, his first disclosed trades are all sales, continuing a trend where sales have outpaced purchases for the last three years.
Tuberville has been outspoken about efforts to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. He doesn't think it's a problem. In fact, he's said he sees no issue with President Donald Trump making thousands of stock trades either.
"I do the same thing," Tuberville told MeidasTouch, as reported by AL.com.
Tuberville is currently running for Alabama governor, so his public profile is only getting bigger. He insists he's not involved in the day-to-day decisions.
"I never look at my stocks. You give it to someone who knows what they're doing," the senator added.
He also pushed back on the idea that he or the president are engaging in insider trading. "This is a free country. You know, I've made a little money in my life through coaching. I don't trade stocks. I have a stockbroker. If you're going to make any money while you're here in Congress, put your money with a stockbroker," Tuberville previously said.
So, for now, Tuberville's portfolio is getting lighter. Whether that's a signal about the market or just a broker rebalancing is anyone's guess. But for retail investors watching congressional activity, it's another data point to consider.
