A new filing under the STOCK Act shows Hon. David J. Taylor, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, purchased shares of Procter & Gamble Company (PG) on September 8, 2026. The transaction, valued between $1,001 and $15,000, was made personally by Rep. Taylor and held through the David Taylor Trust, via Schwab Joint Brokerage #1 (Home Grown). Our internal classification tags this disclosure as a straightforward congress buy.
What makes this filing notable is the timing relative to activity inside the company itself. On the very same date, September 8, 2026, company insider Portman Robert Jones reported a sale of PG stock, listed at $0 in disclosed value, and that transaction falls within the same 30-day window as Rep. Taylor’s purchase. Seeing a lawmaker buying into a stock the same day a corporate insider is selling out of it is the kind of cross-signal that tends to catch the attention of disclosure watchers, even though the two filings represent entirely separate decisions made under separate reporting regimes.
A Pattern of Congressional Interest in PG
This is not the first time Procter & Gamble has shown up in recent congressional trading disclosures. Earlier this year, we covered a similar situation involving insider activity around the stock; see our earlier report, Kevin Hern Foundation Sells PG Stock; Insider Also Sold, which documented a comparable overlap between a member-linked sale and insider trading around the same period. Taken together, these filings suggest PG has drawn steady attention from both sides of the disclosure landscape in 2026, whether through direct purchases, dividend reinvestment programs, or foundation-linked sales.
It’s worth remembering that Periodic Transaction Reports filed under the STOCK Act are a routine, legally required form of disclosure for members of Congress, meant to promote transparency around personal financial activity that could intersect with legislative work. The filing itself does not indicate any wrongdoing, and there is no suggestion here that Rep. Taylor’s purchase was informed by or connected to the insider’s sale. The two events are disclosed independently and simply happen to share a date.
As always, whoisbuyingnow.com will continue tracking how members of Congress report trades in companies like Procter & Gamble, and how those filings line up against insider activity disclosed separately through SEC filings.
