Inside Ro Khanna's 244-Trade September Filing

On September 4, Representative Ro Khanna's office filed a paper Periodic Transaction Report disclosing 244 trades made between August 3 and September 1. Essentially all of them sit in family accounts: 155 in a spouse's account, 88 in a dependent child's, and one where the account is not specified. It is one of the larger single filings of the year on our roster, and there is a clear story in its structure.

First, the ground rule: this is disclosure working as intended. A filed PTR is a member complying with the STOCK Act (how the rules work), and amounts come as bands, never exact figures.

The filing at a glance

The summed band is the honest version of "how much money moved": somewhere between $1.8M and $6.9M, because each row only gives a range.

Broad churn, small slices

Most of the filing is ordinary common stock: 205 of the 244 rows, split almost evenly between purchases (105) and sales (100), across 155 distinct names. No single stock appears more than 4 times, and 197 of the 244 rows sit in the smallest band, $1,001 to $15,000.

That pattern (many names, both directions, small sizes, family accounts) reads like managed-account rebalancing rather than concentrated bets. The form doesn't say who made the decisions, and we don't guess.

The larger line items: S&P 500-linked notes

The biggest rows in the filing are not stocks. They are bank-issued structured notes linked to the S&P 500 index, all purchases:

Structured notes like these are packaged bank products tied to index performance, and they are the one place in this filing where size concentrates: the filing shows 9 index-linked rows in total, and the four above dwarf every stock line. Read together with the broad small-lot churn, the picture is index exposure taken in size through bank notes while the single-stock sleeve stays granular.

A handful of options

Eight rows are options, all in the smallest band: four call purchases on individual names (Microsoft and Thermo Fisher in the dependent child's account, ING and BBVA in the spouse's) and four sales of XSP index puts in the spouse's account, with expirations from late September to late November 2026.

Selling index puts collects premium, so at this size the options sleeve reads more like an income overlay than a directional bet. The form doesn't state strategy, so that stays an inference from structure, not a claim.

The analyst's summary

Three things stand out in this filing: family accounts doing near-balanced, small-lot churn across 155 names; conviction-sized index exposure taken through bank-issued notes rather than stocks; and a small premium-collection options sleeve. None of it requires explanation beyond the rows themselves, which is exactly how a well-read PTR should feel.

This is one filing from one member. Every row behind it, the filings that came before, and the rest of the tracked roster are on Ro Khanna's member page and Whale's Nest Insiders; trades older than 45 days are free to browse, and the newest disclosures are part of Pro.
