Kevin Hern's 14-Row House PTR Combines Oklahoma Bond Purchases With Seven Stock Sales

The Clerk of the House PDF is Filing ID #20035134. It identifies Hon. Kevin Hern as a House member from Oklahoma's 1st District and carries a digital signature dated August 10, 2026.

The transaction table contains 14 new rows. Seven are purchases marked with the [GS] government-securities asset code, and seven are stock sales marked [ST]. The form uses the JT owner code on every line and identifies two investment vehicles in its details: Hern Family Foundation (100% Interest) and Hern Family Revocable Trust (100% Interest).

That structure matters for interpretation. The filing documents reported activity in two vehicles associated with the filer, but it does not say who selected each security, whether an outside manager acted, or whether the two groups of transactions were part of one coordinated decision.

The seven [GS] purchase rows name Oklahoma municipal issuers rather than exchange-listed companies. They include Caddo County governmental-building bonds, Edmond Public Works Authority sales-tax bonds, Grand River Dam Authority revenue bonds, Kingfisher County Educational Facilities Authority bonds, Lawton general-obligation bonds, Oklahoma County Finance Authority lease-revenue bonds, and Tulsa County Independent School District No. 2 bonds.

The reported transaction dates are July 16, July 17, July 20, and July 24. The form shows amount bands from $15,001-$50,000 through $100,001-$250,000. Adding the lower and upper endpoints of those seven bands produces a combined reported range of $310,007-$800,000, not an exact value or a portfolio balance.

The asset descriptions also show different maturities, including a Tulsa County school-district bond dated to mature September 1, 2026 and other instruments maturing from 2027 through 2033. The filing does not provide yields, execution prices, or an investment rationale.

The other seven rows are stock sales in the Hern Family Foundation: Comcast (CMCSA), Diageo (DEO), Estée Lauder (EL), Kenvue (KVUE), Mondelez (MDLZ), Organon (OGN), and Versant Media Group (VSNT). Each row is reported in the $1,001-$15,000 band.

Every stock row lists August 5, 2026 as both the transaction date and the notification date. The seven bands therefore add to a reported range of $7,007-$105,000 if their endpoints are summed, but the filing does not reveal the exact proceeds, share counts, or execution prices.

The seven sales are a useful part of the official filing even though they are smaller than several bond bands. They show why a filing should be read as a complete document: a stock-only feed presents the sales while leaving out the municipal-security purchases that make up half of the report.

All 14 rows display August 5 as the notification date, while the filing's digital signature and public filing date are August 10. The stock sales therefore appear five days after their transaction dates, and the municipal-security purchases appear 17 to 25 days after their transaction dates.

The House Committee on Ethics says covered transactions over $1,000 are due by the earlier of 30 days after the filer becomes aware of the transaction or 45 days after the transaction. On the dates shown in this PTR, no row is more than 25 days from transaction to public filing, and the filing is five days after the listed notification date. The dates alone do not show a late filing or explain any internal reporting process.

August 10 is the public filing date, not the date when Hern bought or sold every security. Keeping the transaction, notification, and public filing dates separate is especially important here because the report combines activity from July and August.

A read-only check of the production trade data for raw_source house-ptr-2026-20035134 returned seven rows: CMCSA, DEO, EL, KVUE, MDLZ, OGN, and VSNT. All seven are sales, each has the $1,001-$15,000 range, and each carries the August 10 filing date and a five-day disclosure delay.

The official PDF contains seven additional [GS] rows, but those municipal securities do not have ticker symbols that can be represented as ordinary stock rows. The seven-row production result is therefore a coverage boundary in the ticker-oriented data model, not the complete official count for the filing.

For research into Kevin Hern's stock activity, the production rows are useful. For research into the filing as a whole, the House PDF controls the row count, asset classification, subholding, dates, and amount bands.

Hern's official House biography lists him as a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and as a member of the Municipal Finance Caucus. That public background makes a municipal-securities filing relevant to transparency research, but it does not connect any Oklahoma issuer to committee work or establish preferential information.

The PTR provides reported asset names, transaction types, dates, notification dates, owner code, investment vehicles, and amount ranges. It does not provide the household's rationale, a yield target, a committee-related matter, or evidence that Hern personally directed each purchase or sale.

The narrow conclusion is that a newly public House filing reports a two-vehicle set of 14 transactions and that a ticker-first tracker exposes only half of it. The record does not establish insider trading, an ethics violation, improper influence, intent, or a penalty.
