Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat representing Washington in the U.S. House, has disclosed a sale of stock in Newell Brands Inc. (NWL), according to a Periodic Transaction Report filed under the STOCK Act. The filing is the latest entry to surface for readers who track congress members’ stock performance and periodic disclosure filings across the House and Senate.
The report shows a sale of Newell Brands shares made by Jayapal herself, not a spouse or dependent, through a personal account. The transaction is dated October 31, 2023, and the disclosed value falls in the range of $1,001 to $15,000, the smallest bracket used in these reports. Whoisbuyingnow.com classifies this transaction as a congress sale in our tracking system, meaning a sitting member of Congress reduced or exited a position in the named stock.
A Disclosure Filed Well Past the Deadline
One detail stands out in this filing: the gap between the transaction date and the disclosure date. The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to report transactions like this one within 45 days of the trade. In this case, the report was filed 195 days after the October 31, 2023 sale date, roughly 150 days beyond that window. We note this delay as a factual matter of record, without speculating on the reason behind it. Late filings do occur across both chambers of Congress, and the STOCK Act’s disclosure requirement itself is not evidence of any wrongdoing, it is simply the legal mechanism by which the public is informed about these trades.
In her own words, Jayapal’s filing includes the following description of the transaction: ‘Notified and Disclosed on the 2023 Federal Disclosure.’ The filing does not provide further detail beyond the standard fields required on a Periodic Transaction Report, including the asset name, transaction type, date, amount range, and account type.
Newell Brands is a consumer goods company known for brands spanning home appliances, food storage, and personal care products. Its ticker, NWL, trades on the New York Stock Exchange. This report does not indicate why the sale was made, nor does it suggest any connection between the transaction and Jayapal’s legislative work or committee assignments. Readers building a pelosi investment tracker-style watchlist, or comparing trading patterns across lawmakers, may want to note both the size of the disclosed range and the length of the reporting delay when evaluating this entry alongside other filings.
As with all Periodic Transaction Reports, this filing is a matter of public record, filed with the Clerk of the House and made available for public review. Whoisbuyingnow.com will continue tracking future disclosures tied to Jayapal’s portfolio as they become available.
