John W. Rose, a Tennessee Republican on the House Financial Services Committee, sold between $250,000 and $500,000 of GOOGL stock on June 3, 2025. The disclosure arrived 466 days after the transaction, more than ten times the 45-day window the STOCK Act allows.
That 466-day gap is the slowest trade reported in this filing. It is also one of the longest delays seen in recent congressional disclosures, and it puts Rose in a category of lawmakers who routinely miss the deadline without penalty.
The Filing
The trade was a sale of Alphabet Inc. Class A shares, executed on June 3, 2025. The estimated midpoint value is roughly $375,000, based on the reported range of $250,000 to $500,000.
Rose has made 26 career trades since taking office in 2019. This is his largest disclosed trade by dollar value.
The STOCK Act, passed in 2012, requires members of Congress to report securities transactions within 45 days of execution. The law was designed to discourage insider trading and to give the public a timely window into lawmakers' financial moves. Rose's filing misses that window by 421 days.
Committee Role
Rose sits on the House Agriculture Committee and the House Financial Services Committee. His subcommittee assignments include Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence, as well as Financial Institutions, Housing, and Insurance.
Alphabet is a technology company, not a financial institution or a farm commodity. But its stock is widely held by members of Congress. According to our database, 111 lawmakers have traded GOOGL in the current session, making it one of the most popular stocks on Capitol Hill.
Late Filings Are Common, but Not This Late
Late filings are not rare. A 2023 analysis by the Campaign Legal Center found that more than half of all congressional stock trades in that cycle were reported late. But a 466-day delay is at the extreme end. Most late filings come in weeks or months after the deadline, not more than a year.
Rose's office did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.
The latest congressional trades page shows that late disclosures like Rose's are a recurring pattern. The STOCK Act has no meaningful enforcement mechanism. The Ethics Committee rarely penalizes members for missing the deadline, and the fines are small enough that some members treat them as a cost of doing business.
Rose's sale came as Alphabet's stock was trading near $347, within its 52-week range of $235.84 to $408.61. The stock has since moved within that range, but the disclosure delay means the public had no way to know about the trade while it was happening.
What the Filing Shows
The filing itself is straightforward. It lists a single sale, dated June 3, 2025, with the owner listed as "Self." No other trades are included.
Rose's 26 career trades have been a mix of buys and sells, mostly in technology and financial stocks. He has not been a frequent trader compared to some colleagues, but this sale is his largest single transaction.
The 466-day delay is the story here. It is not a question of whether the trade was legal or proper. The STOCK Act's deadline exists to give the public timely information, and this filing fails that purpose by more than a year.
