Michael Guest's House PTR Reports Three Missed Trust Sales and Two Exxon Exchanges

The House Clerk's PTR identifies Michael Patrick Guest, Mississippi's 3rd District, and filing ID #20035130. The report was digitally signed and made public on August 14, 2026. All five rows carry the spouse owner code SP, the stock asset type, and the $1,001-$15,000 disclosure band.

Three rows are sales of Airbnb (ABNB), Chevron (CVX), and e.l.f. Beauty (ELF), all under the Trust - KF19 subholding. Two additional rows are marked as exchanges for ExxonMobil Holdings (XOM), one under Trust - KF19 and one under KINV - CP. The exchange rows use the same range as the sales but are not ordinary sale transactions.

The five rows should be read as one official filing with different event types and dates. The August 14 filing date is when the public report became available; it is not the date on which Guest or the trusts made all five transactions.

The ABNB, CVX, and ELF rows each show December 16, 2025 as the transaction date and August 13, 2026 as the notification date. The filing date is August 14, 2026, so the transaction-to-public-filing interval is 241 calendar days for each sale. The notification date is a separate field: it is not the transaction date and it is not the same as the date the report became public.

Guest's comment says he learned on August 13 that a family trust had made the three sales and filed the report the next day. The House Ethics PTR calculator describes the reporting deadline as the earlier of 30 days after the filer becomes aware of the transaction or 45 days after the transaction. Those clocks matter here: the printed record shows a long transaction-to-filing interval, while the filer's stated awareness-to-filing interval was one day.

The public document does not state that the House made an enforcement determination about these dates. The supportable conclusion is narrower: the trades occurred in December, were reported as newly disclosed rows in the August PTR, and the filer supplied a compliance explanation for why they were not in an earlier filing.

The two XOM rows show July 2, 2026 as the transaction date and August 4, 2026 as the notification date. Both are marked with the exchange transaction code and describe the event as shares surrendered through a name change. One row is associated with Trust - KF19 and the other with KINV - CP.

Measured from July 2 to the August 14 public filing, the two exchange rows have a 43-day transaction-to-filing interval. Measured from the August 4 notification date to the filing, the interval is 10 days. Those are timing comparisons from the form; they do not convert the exchanges into sales or disclose the number of shares involved.

The document does not provide an exact market value, share count, or explanation beyond the name-change description. A ticker feed that only models purchases and sales can therefore omit these rows even though the official report includes them as reportable transaction entries.

In the comments section, Guest says a compliance firm failed to include the three family-trust sales and discovered the omission while preparing his annual House disclosure. He says he was not involved in the trust's investment decisions or consulted on the trades, but reports them because his wife and children are partial beneficiaries.

The note also says the three sales were at a loss, that Guest notified House Ethics staff, and that he began an additional compliance review. Those statements are the filer's explanation in the official report. They are not an independent finding about the trust, the compliance firm, the reason for the omission, or whether any deadline was violated.

The PTR contains no penalty, ethics disposition, or other enforcement result. It also does not supply exact proceeds or establish that the trades were connected to Guest's official position. The article therefore treats the note as context and keeps the transaction facts separate from conclusions the source does not make.

A read-only check of Congressional Trader's production feed found three normalized rows under raw_source house-ptr-2026-20035130. They match the official ABNB, CVX, and ELF sales: owner SP, the $1,001-$15,000 band, December 16, 2025 as the transaction date, August 14, 2026 as the filing date, and a 241-day calculated disclosure delay.

The same production source does not contain the two XOM exchange rows. That is a parser-model boundary, not evidence that the official rows were absent or not reportable. The current ticker-oriented table represents purchase and sale events, while an exchange marked E with a name-change description has no equivalent normalized transaction type in these rows.

For analysis, the official House PDF controls the complete five-row count and the exchange classification. The production feed remains useful for the three ticker rows and for alerting, but it should not be treated as a complete copy of the source document when the filing contains an event type outside the normalized schema.

The official record establishes that Guest reported five spouse-owned rows on August 14, 2026, including three December 2025 trust sales, two July 2026 XOM exchanges, disclosure bands, notification dates, subholdings, and a first-party explanation for the sales' omission from an earlier report.

It does not establish the exact value of any transaction, the number of shares, a motive, insider trading, improper influence, an ethics violation, or a penalty. The three sales' long transaction-to-filing interval is a useful disclosure-timing fact, but it should be described alongside the filer's stated August 13 awareness date and the absence of an adjudicated finding.

The practical data rule is to preserve transaction date, notification date, public filing date, owner, amount range, and transaction type together. Counting only normalized sale rows would undercount this filing; counting the filing date as the trade date would misstate when the activity occurred.
