Rep. Michael Rulli (R-Ohio) has once again disclosed a purchase of Alphabet Inc. Class A shares (GOOGL), according to a Periodic Transaction Report filed under the STOCK Act. The transaction, dated June 25, 2026, was made personally by Rulli and executed through a Merrill Lynch Managed Account. The disclosed value falls between $1,001 and $15,000, placing it in the smaller end of the ranges Congress members are required to report.
This purchase is not an isolated event for Rulli’s GOOGL position. Our previous coverage detailed an earlier round of buying activity in the same stock, which you can read in Michael Rulli Buys Alphabet (GOOGL) as Insider Sells. The latest filing suggests continued interest in the stock rather than a one-time transaction.
An Insider Sale in the Same Window
What makes this filing notable is its proximity to activity on the other side of the ledger. Company insider Saraci Marsida sold GOOGL shares on July 1, 2026, within roughly a week of Rulli’s purchase and inside the same 30-day window our tracking system flags for cross-signal analysis. The insider transaction was recorded with a $0 value in the underlying filing data, a common occurrence for certain types of reported dispositions such as those tied to compensation or trust arrangements.
Taken together, the two filings represent a lawmaker buying into Alphabet stock around the same time a company insider was reducing exposure. This site classifies the congressional transaction as a ‘congress buy’ signal based on our internal tracking methodology, which flags purchases by sitting members of Congress for readers who follow these disclosures. It is not, on its own, an indication of any wrongdoing or a signal that other investors should follow suit — STOCK Act reporting exists precisely so the public can see these trades, not to suggest they carry inside information.
Alphabet has remained a frequently traded name among both institutional holders and members of Congress, and its stock continues to draw attention across investor tracking platforms, including in aggregated quarterly filings like those covered in our related piece, BIT Capital GmbH: 13F Portfolio Moves Tracked Quarterly.
Members of Congress are required to file these disclosures within 30 to 45 days of a transaction, and the reports are made public through the House Clerk’s office. Readers interested in tracking Rulli’s full trading history, along with other insider and congressional activity in GOOGL, can expect continued coverage as new filings become available.
