Salazar rotated out of an industrial and into insurance and Berkshire, up to $215,000 across six trades, filed 37 days after the earliest transaction and just as the House passed a bill restricting member stock purchases. Congressional buying in defensive, insurance-heavy names is worth tracking while that ban is still pending.

On July 1 and July 28, Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar executed six trades totaling up to $215,000, selling her positions in Carrier Global (CARR) across two transactions and moving the proceeds into insurance giant Chubb and Berkshire Hathaway. The disclosure was filed on August 7, a full 37 days after the earliest transaction, which sits at the outer edge of the legal reporting window for House members.
The timing is what sharpens attention here. The filing landed just as the House passed a bill that would restrict members from trading individual stocks, meaning this rotation into defensive, insurance-heavy names is one of the last disclosures investors may see from Salazar under the current rules. Chubb and Berkshire both carry reputations as relative safe havens, and the deliberate exit from an industrial name into that pair is the pattern worth noting.

If the stock-trading ban clears the Senate and is signed into law, congressional disclosure filings as a market signal will effectively disappear. Until that happens, any continued accumulation in defensive names by House members is worth tracking closely.
