Topic: STOCK Act disclosure timeliness — constituent call
Hello, my name is [Your name] and I am calling as a constituent or concerned member of the public from [Your city, FL].
I am calling about Representative John H. Rutherford's STOCK Act disclosure record. According to public filings, 141 stock transactions — across 2 late periodic reports — were disclosed more than 45 days after the transaction date, the deadline required by 5 U.S.C. § 13105(l). Those late trades add up to 42,385 cumulative days past the 45-day deadline; the longest single filing was 361 days past that deadline. The disclosed value on those late filings was up to $3.3 million.
I am asking Representative John H. Rutherford to:
1. File every future Periodic Transaction Report within the 45-day window required by the STOCK Act, without exception.
2. Support legislation that strengthens STOCK Act enforcement — higher fees for late reports, shorter windows, or independent oversight.
3. Publicly acknowledge this compliance record and, where third-party advisers or administrative delay were responsible, say so on the record.
Thank you for passing along my concerns.
