Scott Peters' 14-Row House PTR Includes a 47-Day Municipal-Bond Gap

Scott Peters' House Periodic Transaction Report #20035191, digitally signed August 17, 2026, contains 14 spouse-owned rows: seven purchases and seven sales across California government securities, U.S. Treasury bills, and three other-investment entries. The transaction dates run from July 1 through July 30, 2026, and every row shows July 31 as its notification date. One Los Angeles County transportation-bond purchase therefore has a 47-day transaction-to-public-filing interval. The filing reports ranges—including two "Spouse/DC Over $1,000,000" labels—not exact values, and the record does not establish an ethics violation, intent, insider trading, or a penalty.

Observed in the records

House PTR #20035191, signed August 17, lists 14 spouse-owned rows across California government securities, Treasury bills, and three other-investment entries. The printed dates include a July 1 purchase filed 47 days later and two "Spouse/DC Over $1,000,000" labels; the current production feed has no normalized rows for this non-ticker filing.

Interpretation limits

The records do not by themselves establish motive, who directed a household trade, inside information, causation, current holdings, or future performance.

The official report contains 14 spouse-owned rows

House PTR #20035191 identifies Hon. Scott H. Peters, California's 50th District, and is digitally signed August 17, 2026. Its transaction table contains 14 rows, each marked with the spouse owner code SP. The report shows seven purchases and seven sales, including four partial-sale rows.

The printed transaction dates run from July 1 through July 30, 2026. Every row shows July 31, 2026 in the Notification Date column. August 17 is the public filing and signature date; it is not the date on which all 14 transactions occurred.

That date separation matters for a filing with both municipal securities and Treasury bills. The report is a household disclosure record, not a same-day trading log or a statement of who directed each investment decision.

  • Official source: House PTR #20035191; public filing/signature date: August 17, 2026.
  • Rows: 14 total; seven purchases and seven sales.
  • Owner code: SP on every row, indicating spouse ownership in the House report.
  • Transaction dates: July 1–30, 2026; notification date: July 31, 2026.

Most rows are government securities, not tickered stocks

Eleven of the 14 rows carry the House asset code [GS], which the House's asset-code reference defines as Government Securities and Agency Debt. The named issues include Charlotte-Mecklenburg, several Los Angeles-area issuers, a Pittsburgh successor agency, and U.S. Treasury Bill entries.

The other three rows carry [OT] and name Audax Senior Loan Fund ST LP, Smash Capital Fund II LP, and Volo Ventures GP II, LP. The report does not provide an exchange ticker for these entries; the visible descriptions for the Audax and Smash rows identify them as pooled investment funds.

This is why the filing reads differently from a conventional congressional stock-trade list. It reports securities and investment vehicles by the names on the form, while the current Congressional Trader feed is organized around normalized ticker-bearing purchase and sale rows.

  • Asset mix: 11 [GS] government-security rows and three [OT] other-investment rows.
  • Government-security names include California municipal issues and U.S. Treasury Bills.
  • No public exchange ticker appears on the 14 official rows.
  • The official PDF controls the asset names and event classifications.

The amount fields are ranges, including two over-$1 million labels

The House form does not disclose exact transaction values. Its reported bands run from $15,001-$50,000 through $500,001-$1,000,000, and two rows use the label "Spouse/DC Over $1,000,000": the Audax Senior Loan Fund purchase and one U.S. Treasury Bill purchase.

That over-$1 million label is a disclosure bucket, not a precise position value. It should not be converted into an exact purchase amount, a portfolio total, or a claim about the value of the underlying account. The other bands carry the same range limitation.

The mix of large ranges is useful as a transparency fact because it shows the scale categories Peters reported. It does not identify the price, yield, maturity value, share count, or investment rationale for any row.

  • Smallest printed band: $15,001-$50,000.
  • Largest printed standard band: $500,001-$1,000,000.
  • Two rows: "Spouse/DC Over $1,000,000."
  • Exact values, shares, yields, and proceeds are not disclosed on the PTR.

One transaction creates a 47-day filing gap

The Los Angeles Cnty CA TRANS [GS] purchase is dated July 1, 2026, shows July 31, 2026 as its notification date, and appears in the report signed and made public on August 17. That is a 47-calendar-day transaction-to-public-filing interval, the longest in the 14-row report. The other 13 rows have transaction-to-filing intervals of 18 to 26 days.

The House Committee on Ethics says covered transactions are due by the earlier of 30 days after the filer becomes aware of the transaction or 45 days after the transaction. The PTR prints a Notification Date, not an adjudicated finding about the filer's awareness. If July 31 is used as the awareness input, the 30-day date is August 30; the 45-day date from July 1 is August 15. The earlier date is August 15, two calendar days before the August 17 filing.

That is a reproducible timing comparison using the printed fields and the Ethics calculator's rule. The PTR itself does not state that the Committee found a violation, assessed a late fee, or opened an enforcement matter. The article therefore describes the gap without turning it into a legal conclusion.

  • Transaction: July 1, 2026; notification: July 31, 2026.
  • Public filing/signature: August 17, 2026.
  • Transaction-to-filing interval: 47 calendar days.
  • Using the printed notification date as awareness, the Ethics calculator's earlier date is August 15; the PTR supplies no enforcement outcome.

Committee assignments are context, not a causal link

The official House Clerk profile lists Peters on the Committee on Energy and Commerce, including its Communications and Technology, Energy, and Environment subcommittees, and on the Committee on the Budget. Those assignments make the disclosure relevant to readers studying congressional financial transparency and public-sector securities.

Nothing in PTR #20035191 connects a particular bond, Treasury bill, or other investment to Peters' committee work. The public record does not show who selected each asset, whether any issuer was discussed in an official setting, or whether Peters possessed nonpublic information. Committee overlap is context, not evidence of improper conduct.

  • House profile: Energy and Commerce, with Communications and Technology, Energy, and Environment assignments.
  • House profile: Budget Committee.
  • The PTR does not state an investment rationale or committee-related connection.

The official PDF is complete while production has no ticker rows

A read-only snapshot of Congressional Trader's production data had 10,316 normalized trade rows, a latest filing_date of August 17, 2026, and a latest observed trade-row created_at on August 18, 2026. The raw source house-ptr-2026-20035191 returned zero normalized rows.

The zero-row result is a coverage boundary, not evidence that the House report was empty. The current production model is ticker-oriented and represents purchase, sale, and partial-sale events; Peters' official rows are non-ticker government securities and other investments identified by full names. The official PDF therefore controls the complete 14-row count, owner fields, dates, transaction types, asset codes, and amount labels.

For readers using the live feed, the practical rule is simple: an absent ticker row cannot be treated as an absent official filing. Source-level research must check the House PDF when a PTR contains government securities, pooled funds, or other names that do not map cleanly to an exchange ticker.

  • Official PDF row count: 14.
  • Production normalized row count for raw_source house-ptr-2026-20035191: 0.
  • Latest normalized filing date in the checked snapshot: August 17, 2026.
  • The House PDF controls where the ticker-oriented parser has no matching row.

What the record establishes—and what it does not

The filing establishes that Peters reported 14 spouse-owned transactions on August 17, 2026, with seven purchases, seven sales, 11 government-security rows, three other-investment rows, July 1–30 transaction dates, July 31 notification dates, and disclosure ranges that include two "Spouse/DC Over $1,000,000" labels.

It does not establish exact values, who directed the investments, a motive, a committee-related benefit, insider trading, an ethics violation, a late-filing penalty, or future performance. The 47-day gap is a useful public-record timing fact; the meaning of that gap must remain separate from any enforcement conclusion the source does not make.

FAQ

What did Scott Peters' August 2026 House PTR report?

House PTR #20035191 reports 14 spouse-owned rows: seven purchases and seven sales across California government securities, U.S. Treasury bills, and three other-investment entries. All rows show July 31, 2026 as the notification date and August 17, 2026 as the public filing/signature date.

Which row had the 47-day filing gap?

The Los Angeles Cnty CA TRANS [GS] purchase is dated July 1, 2026, notified July 31, and included in the report signed and made public August 17. The transaction-to-public-filing interval is 47 calendar days.

How much were the Peters transactions worth?

The PTR reports ranges rather than exact values. Its bands run from $15,001-$50,000 through $500,001-$1,000,000, and two rows use the label "Spouse/DC Over $1,000,000." Exact amounts are not available from the form.

Was the July 1 transaction officially ruled late?

The printed dates produce a 47-day transaction-to-filing gap. Using July 31 as the awareness input in the House Ethics calculator gives an earlier due date of August 15 from the 45-day branch, so the filing appears two calendar days after that arithmetic date. The PTR does not state an ethics finding, late fee, or penalty.

Why does Congressional Trader show zero rows for this filing?

The checked production source has zero normalized rows because this PTR lists full-name government securities and other investments without exchange tickers. The official House PDF is the complete source for all 14 rows; the difference reflects the current ticker-oriented parser's coverage boundary.

Does the filing prove a conflict or insider trading?

No. It documents spouse-owned transactions, asset names, dates, transaction types, and ranges. It does not establish who made the investment decisions, motive, nonpublic information, committee influence, an ethics violation, or a penalty.
