Hern's Bearish Bet: $7 Million+ in Stock Sales Spark Concern
Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) has made significant stock sales in recent months, including selling $7 million+ worth of assets in 2026.
The transactions, disclosed on the Benzinga Government Trades page, show that Hern unloaded 28 stocks and purchased one government security.
Among the sold shares were Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) stock, with Hern selling between $50,000 to $100,000 in each.
This trend is part of a larger pattern, as most of Hern's 2026 purchases have been government securities, while he sells previously bought stocks. In fact, since the beginning of 2026, Hern has made $7.06 million in sales and $1.11 million in buys, according to data from Quiver Quantitative.
