Rep. Juan Ciscomani Allegedly Violates STOCK Act with Delayed Financial Disclosure
Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-Tucson) is under scrutiny for allegedly violating the STOCK Act, a 2012 law designed to prevent insider trading by requiring timely disclosure of financial transactions by members of Congress. Ciscomani reportedly failed to file a Periodic Transaction Report (PTR) for a Treasury bond purchase made in August 2025, which was disclosed nine months late in his annual financial report. The STOCK Act mandates that such transactions be reported within 30 days of awareness or 45 days of the transaction. The House Ethics Committee suggests that transactions involving government securities like Treasury bonds likely require a PTR. Ciscomani, who has been vocal against insider trading, did not comment on the allegations. The penalty for late disclosure is a $200 fine for first-time offenders, which some critics argue is insufficient to deter non-compliance.
