The STOCK Act gives members of Congress 45 days to disclose a stock trade. Most manage it in under a month. Some take years. This ranks every House and Senate member with at least 10 disclosures by their median delay — the typical wait, not their single worst slip.

Both chambers, and that's new. This page covered the House alone for a long time, because the Senate records we had copied the filing date from the trade date and would have scored every senator a flawless same-day filer. We now read the Senate's own disclosure system, which publishes a real submission date, so both chambers are measured the same way. See where our data comes from.

Amendments don't count against anyone. An amended report re-states a trade that was already disclosed, under a new filing date, so counting it would make a member who corrected a typo look like one who never filed. We only measure filings whose source records whether they are originals — which is why this covers 2015–2026 rather than our whole congressional record. The older archives never recorded filing status, and treating "unknown" as "original" is how a correction turns into an accusation.

Median, not average. One forgotten paper filing can drag an average into the hundreds of days. The median shows the habit. A member needs at least 10 disclosures to be ranked at all.

Late is not illegal, exactly. Filing past 45 days breaches the STOCK Act's deadline, but the standard penalty is a $200 fee and late filings are common. Delays can also come from an adviser or a spouse's account rather than the member. Read this as a punctuality record, not a finding of misconduct.
