U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) divested from two government securities in August 2026, according to filings submitted under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act.
The transactions were executed through the Victoria Kelly Trust ICA, an investment vehicle owned by the congressman. Both sales fell within the range of $50,001 to $100,000, and filings note that none of the transactions involved initial public offerings.
On August 17, 2026, Kelly sold Mississippi State Ref Go P/R bonds, which carry a 5% coupon rate and mature on October 1, 2031. On August 28, 2026, he sold New Jersey State 19 GO Emer Go bonds, bearing a 5% coupon and maturing on June 1, 2028.
Kelly certified the accuracy of the disclosures on September 8, 2026. The article was published on September 9, 2026.
The exact reasons for the divestments were not disclosed. STOCK Act filings require members of Congress to publicly report certain financial transactions to maintain transparency and avoid potential conflicts of interest.
