Congresswoman Buys More Stocks
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) recently disclosed multiple stock purchases and several sales from May 2026, as reported by the Benzinga Government Trades page.
Salazar reported selling stock in Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) and Sherwin-Williams (NYSE:SHW), which were both stocks she bought earlier this year.
Here are the stocks that Salazar disclosed buying in May:
- May 29, 2026: Bought $1,000 to $15,000 Brookfield Renewable Partners LP (NYSE:BEP) stock
- May 21, 2026: Bought $15,000 to $50,000 IBM (NYSE:IBM) stock

The latest purchases lean heavily on the technology side with IBM, Datadog and Qualcomm, but the largest purchases were made in Biogen, a well-known biotech company.
The latest batch of trades was much smaller overall than Salazar’s disclosed trades earlier this year.
Salazar’s Trading History
The congresswoman has made over 90 trades since 2022, totaling $8.2 million, according to data from Quiver Quantitative.
Salazar made zero transactions in 2025, according to Quiver Quantitative, which came after trading more than $2.3 million in 2024.
The congresswoman is already over $1 million in trades for 2026, with $991,000 in purchases and $65,000 in sales.
Salazar currently sits on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Financial Services Committee. She also serves on subcommittees for housing, capital markets and national security.
Those committee assignments could put her stock purchase, like some made previously, under more attention from retail investors.
