Rep. Richard McCormick Sells Walmart (WMT) Stock in Roth IRA

A new Periodic Transaction Report filed with the U.S. House of Representatives shows Hon. Richard Dean Dr McCormick disclosed a sale of Walmart Inc. Common Stock (WMT) on 2026-07-30. The transaction, valued between $1,001 and $15,000, was made by the member of Congress personally and was held through a Growth Partners Roth IRA. Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress and their staff are required to disclose such trades within 45 days, a rule designed to keep congressional financial activity visible to the public rather than a signal of any wrongdoing.

Our system logs this filing under the classification ‘congress sale,’ meaning it represents a disclosed reduction in a sitting lawmaker’s WMT holdings rather than an accumulation. The amount range disclosed is broad, as is standard for these reports, so the exact dollar figure sold is not publicly specified beyond the $1,001–$15,000 bracket.

A Notable Timing Overlap

What makes this filing worth flagging is its proximity to another WMT-related disclosure. Company insider Bartlett Daniel J also sold shares of Walmart stock, filing a transaction dated 2026-08-03 valued at $419,601. That sale falls within 30 days of Rep. McCormick’s own disclosed transaction, placing both filings inside the same short window of activity around the same ticker. We track this kind of overlap because it can be useful context for readers following a particular stock across multiple types of public disclosures — congressional filings and corporate insider filings alike — even though the two transactions are unrelated in size, mechanism, and reporting requirement.

It is worth noting that a congressional Roth IRA sale and a corporate insider sale are governed by entirely separate disclosure regimes: one under the STOCK Act for federal officeholders, the other under SEC insider-trading reporting rules for company executives and directors. Their appearance close together in time does not establish any connection between the two parties or any coordinated action; it simply means both events are part of the public record on WMT during the same stretch of weeks.

Readers who track broader institutional positioning alongside individual filings like this one may also want to see how large asset managers have adjusted their own portfolios over time. For a look at how one such manager has moved its holdings on a quarterly basis, see our coverage of Squarepoint Ops LLC’s 13F portfolio moves, which offers a different lens on how large holders adjust exposure across reporting periods.
