A Periodic Transaction Report filed with the U.S. House of Representatives shows that Hon. Julia Letlow purchased shares of CF Industries Holdings, Inc. common stock (ticker: CF) on October 23, 2024. The transaction was made personally by the member of Congress and is valued in the disclosed range of $1,001 to $15,000, the smallest reporting bracket used under the STOCK Act’s disclosure rules.
The filing indicates the stock was purchased through Merrill Lynch Investment Account #025, one of the brokerage accounts Letlow uses for personal investment activity that falls under congressional disclosure requirements. Because the transaction is a purchase, whoisbuyingnow.com classifies this as a ‘congress buy’ signal in our tracking system, reflecting new exposure to the asset rather than a sale or exit.
A Delayed Disclosure
Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress are required to publicly disclose stock transactions within 45 days of the trade date. In this case, the purchase occurred on October 23, 2024, but the disclosure was not filed until 292 days later — well beyond the statutory 45-day window. The report does not include an explanation for the delay, and none is offered here. Late filings of this kind are not uncommon among congressional disclosures, and the STOCK Act itself does not automatically imply wrongdoing when a deadline is missed; it simply establishes a legal reporting requirement that applies to all members.
