The congressional trading record for $SE shows that Representative Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat, disclosed a purchase of the stock on March 10, 2026, and a sale on December 5, 2025. Other lawmakers who have reported $SE trades include Representatives Lisa Mcclain, Rob Bresnahan, and Daniel Goldman, as well as former Senator David Perdue. Congressional disclosures use bracketed value ranges rather than exact dollar amounts, and none of those legislative transactions overlapped with the summer 2026 cluster of insider sales.
