A newly filed Periodic Transaction Report shows Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) reported a sale of ICON plc Ordinary Shares (ICLR) dated August 14, 2026. The transaction was made through a jointly-held account with his spouse, and the disclosure lists the amount as falling between $15,001 and $50,000. The filing identifies the Hern Family Foundation as the vehicle through which the shares were held.
Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress and their immediate family are required to disclose transactions like this one within a set window, regardless of the size of the trade or the account structure involved. The report itself does not indicate any reasoning behind the sale, and filing the disclosure is a routine legal obligation rather than a flag of wrongdoing.
A Notable Timing Overlap
What makes this filing worth a closer look is its proximity to another sale of the same stock. Company insider McCague Eugene Pacelli sold ICLR shares on August 11, 2026, for a reported $14,319, just three days before the Hern account’s transaction and well within the 30-day window typically used to spot overlapping activity. Whoisbuyingnow.com tracks these kinds of cross-signals — moments when a member of Congress and a corporate insider trade the same name in a tight timeframe — because they can offer readers a fuller picture of trading patterns around a particular ticker, even when no connection between the two parties is established or implied.
ICLR, the ticker for ICON plc, is a clinical research and drug development services company whose shares are tracked by a range of institutional and individual investors. The disclosure does not specify a price per share or the exact number of shares sold, only the dollar range required under STOCK Act reporting rules.

As with all congressional trading disclosures, this filing is a matter of public record made available through the House of Representatives’ financial disclosure system. Whoisbuyingnow.com will continue monitoring for any amendments to this report or additional transactions involving ICLR from Rep. Hern’s household or other congressional filers in the weeks ahead.
