Nicholas Van Taylor

Representative Van Taylor (R-TX) served Texas's 3rd congressional district from January 2019 until his resignation in March 2022, following a brief but notable tenure marked by his military background as a Marine Corps veteran and Harvard-educated businessman. During his time in Congress, Taylor was known for his work on the House Financial Services Committee and his focus on national security issues, bringing private sector experience from his family's security services company. His trading activity was particularly concentrated during his first 14 months in office, with 281 disclosed transactions between January 2019 and March 2020, representing an estimated volume of $1.3M to $6.5M. Taylor's portfolio showed a preference for blue-chip holdings including energy giant ExxonMobil (XOM), consumer staples like Coca-Cola (KO) and Altria (MO), biotech firm Celgene (CELG), and food delivery platform GrubHub (GRUB), with no reported trading activity following early 2020.
