United States Representative Jonathan Jackson has disclosed a series of stock transactions, with trades around technology giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) raising questions.
Filings show he purchased Amazon shares on February 5 valued between $1,001 and $15,000, then sold some or all of them six days later on February 11 within a similar range.
The quick buy-and-sell in a major tech stock is notable given the short holding period and the absence of a clear public catalyst or committee-related reason for targeting Amazon during that period.
Notably, the trade occurred as Amazon faced early-February pressure following its Q4 2025 earnings.
In this line, AMZN investors were spooked after the company announced a surprising $200 billion capital expenditure forecast for 2026 focused on AI infrastructure.
As of press time, AMZN shares were valued at $207, down almost 9% year to date.

The Congress trades also included the purchase of Welltower (NYSE: WELL), a healthcare real estate investment trust, on February 11.

Jackson stock trades
On the sales side, beyond the quick Amazon exit, he offloaded positions in Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) on February 4, International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) on February 17, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) on February 5, Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) on February 3, and Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC) on February 11.
It’s worth noting that some of these moves align with Jackson’s committee assignments.
For instance, his purchases in Citigroup and Bank of New York Mellon relate to his work on the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Commodity Markets, Digital Assets, and Rural Development, which oversees aspects of financial markets and institutions.
Similarly, the Welltower investment connects to his role on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, given the company’s international healthcare infrastructure exposure.
These committee-linked trades in finance and healthcare appear more straightforward in context. However, there exists no evidence of any wrongdoing from the lawmaker’s side.
