David E. Price

Representative David E. Price (D-NC) served North Carolina's 4th district from 1987 to 2023, with a brief hiatus from 1995 to 1997, establishing himself as one of the House's most academically credentialed members with a Ph.D. in political science from Yale. A former Duke University professor, Price was known for his expertise on congressional procedure, appropriations work, and advocacy for research funding and education policy. His trading activity was notably modest compared to congressional peers, with 33 disclosed transactions between December 2016 and March 2022, concentrated in blue-chip stocks including Prudential Financial (PRU), PayPal (PYPL), Apple (AAPL), Salesforce (CRM), and Texas Instruments (TXN). With an estimated trading volume between $47,000 and $530,000 over this period and no recent activity in his final months in office, Price's portfolio reflected a conservative, buy-and-hold approach typical of long-term institutional investors rather than active market participants.
