Alexander, Lamar

Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) served Tennessee in the U.S. Senate from 2003 to 2021, bringing decades of public service including two terms as Tennessee's governor and serving as U.S. Secretary of Education under President George H.W. Bush. Known for his signature plaid shirts and bipartisan approach, Alexander chaired the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and was influential in education policy and healthcare reform discussions. His trading record shows 33 disclosed transactions between June 2017 and November 2019, with estimated volumes between $2.0M and $4.5M, heavily concentrated in Tennessee municipal bonds (TENN, TN, MAURY) and Texas state securities. Alexander's portfolio reflected a conservative investment strategy focused on state and municipal debt instruments, with no recorded trading activity following his November 2019 transactions as he approached retirement from the Senate in January 2021.
