Rep. Tim Walberg, a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Michigan, has disclosed a purchase of Exxon Mobil Corporation common stock in a Periodic Transaction Report filed under the STOCK Act. The transaction was made through an account held jointly with his spouse.
According to the filing, the purchase occurred on February 7, 2025, and was valued in the disclosed range of $15,001 to $15,001. Because the STOCK Act requires transactions to be reported using broad dollar bands rather than exact figures, the low and high ends of the range are identical in this case, indicating the value falls within that specific bracket.
A Reporting Delay Worth Noting
One notable aspect of this disclosure is timing. The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to report covered transactions within 45 days of becoming aware of them. In this instance, the filing was submitted 476 days after the February 7, 2025 transaction date, well beyond that statutory window. The filing itself does not include an explanation for the delay, and none is offered here. The disclosure record simply shows the gap between the transaction date and the date the report was filed.
Late filings under the STOCK Act are not uncommon and are documented across both parties and chambers of Congress. The law’s disclosure requirement exists to create a public record of financial transactions by lawmakers and their immediate family members, allowing constituents, journalists, and watchdog groups to track potential conflicts of interest over time. A late filing is a procedural matter under the statute and is not, by itself, evidence of any wrongdoing.
What the Filing Shows
Based solely on the disclosed data, this transaction is categorized here as a ‘congress buy’ signal, meaning it reflects a reported purchase rather than a sale. The asset involved, Exxon Mobil Corporation, is one of the largest publicly traded energy companies and is widely held across many types of investment accounts, including those belonging to members of Congress and their families.
No additional details, such as the specific number of shares purchased or the broker involved, are included in the public filing beyond what is summarized above. As with all disclosures tracked on this site, the information presented here is drawn directly from the official STOCK Act report and is intended for informational and transparency purposes only. It should not be interpreted as investment guidance or as a comment on the legality of the transaction or its timing.
