Ro Khanna gets all the attention as Congress's most active stock trader. But the #2 spot belongs to someone far less discussed: Lisa McClain, a Republican representative from Michigan's 9th district, who filed 1,381 trades in the period tracked through early 2026.
Who Is Lisa McClain?
Representative Lisa McClain has served Michigan's 9th congressional district since 2021. She sits on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Administration Committee — giving her direct exposure to defense procurement, technology policy, and election administration legislation. Her committee assignments make her semiconductor and tech trades particularly worth watching.
What Is She Trading?
McClain's disclosed trades are heavily concentrated in semiconductor stocks — particularly TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor) and Nvidia. This concentration is notable given her Armed Services Committee position, which gives her direct oversight of US semiconductor policy and the CHIPS Act implementation.
Her 1,381 trades put her far ahead of most congressional traders — only Khanna's 4,284 transactions exceed her volume. The sheer frequency suggests a professionally managed account with an active mandate, though all trades are disclosed under her name.
The Semiconductor Connection
McClain's heavy semiconductor positioning comes at a time when the Armed Services Committee has been actively involved in export control debates, CHIPS Act funding oversight, and US-China technology restrictions. Whether or not her trades reflect legislative information, the pattern is worth tracking for investors with semiconductor exposure.
