Most frequent buyers: Marjorie Taylor Greene (8), Markwayne Mullin (2), Greg Stanton (1), Jared Moskowitz (1), Jefferson Shreve (1).
These are not returns anyone actually earned. Disclosures report a dollar bracket and no share count, so every purchase is counted once and weighted equally, and sales are not matched back to the buys that opened them. 1 of the 15 purchases are disclosed as a spouse's or dependent's rather than the member's own. Purchases from the last 12 months are excluded because their window has not closed yet.
