The buying and selling of stocks by members of Congress continues to generate strong interest from retail investors, especially when the transactions are mostly sales. Here’s a look at one member of Congress who may be bearish on the stock market.

• Procter & Gamble stock is trading at depressed levels. What’s the outlook for PG shares?

Congressman Unloads Stocks

Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) recently disclosed numerous stock transactions, as reported by the Benzinga Government Trades page.

The disclosure included the sale of 28 stocks and one purchase of a government security.

Among the sales were the following:

  • Sold $50,000 to $100,000 in Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) stock
  • Sold $15,000 to $50,000 in Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock
  • Sold $50,000 to $100,000 in Home Depot (NYSE:HD) stock

The rest of the transactions were mostly in the $1,000 to $15,000 range.

This continues a trend of Hern selling stocks in 2026, with most of his purchases this year being government securities, while he ditches stocks that he previously bought.

In fact, in 2026 to date, Hern has now made $7.06 million in sales and $1.11 million in buys, according to data from Quiver Quantitative.

While this is only one member of Congress, the trading activity could indicate an elected official being bearish on the stock market and/or the economy going forward.

Hern’s Trading History

When it comes to stock trading, Hern ranks among the most active members of Congress.

Since 2018, Hern has made 931 trades totaling $138.5 million, according to data from Quiver Quantitative.

Some years like 2021 and 2022 saw more buying activity than selling activity. Other years such as 2020, 2023, and 2024 saw more sales.

The biggest year for activity was 2020 with $4.57 million in buys and $53.22 million in sales.
