Congressional stock trades filed in late August 2026 center on a House tech-and-options cluster from Nancy Pelosi, a Senate municipal-bond and structured-note batch from David McCormick, and a continuing ETF backlog from John Boozman. As of August 28, 2026, ProBors shows 41 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates from August 21 through August 27—spanning four members across both chambers. Filing lag in this window runs from same-day on Michael Rulli's GOOGL partial sale to 291 days on Boozman's November 2025 ETF lines still landing in August. This is research context, not investment advice.
Snapshot summary
ProBors sorts congressional disclosures by filing date. In the August 21–27 filing window:
- 41 rows after deduplication (identical politician, ticker, type, trade date, filing date, amount, and chamber removed)
- 4 politicians filed in this window: David McCormick (19 rows), John Boozman (14 rows), Nancy Pelosi (7 rows), and Michael Rulli (1 row)
- Chamber split: 33 Senate rows, 8 House rows
- Transaction mix: 16 purchases, 21 sales, 1 partial sale, 3 call-option purchases
- Signal tiers: 4 High signal rows, 10 Worth watching, 13 Normal, 14 without a scored tier
- Filing lag: 0-day minimum (Rulli's August 24 GOOGL partial sale filed the same day), 28-day median, 291-day maximum on Boozman's oldest November 2025 ETF lines
- Notable clusters: Pelosi's seven-line August 21 House filing covering Intel (INTC) stock and call options plus Bloom Energy (BE) stock and call options; McCormick's 19-row August 27 Senate batch mixing GS structured notes, Pennsylvania municipal bonds, and Texas school-district bond sales; Boozman's 14-row August 24 Senate ETF backlog tied to November 2025 trade dates
The late-August wave is smaller than mid-August's 78-row batch but heavier on high-bracket equity and derivative lines from Pelosi. Over the prior 14 days, Alphabet (GOOGL) and IBM each appear once in congressional ticker activity in ProBors.
Recent disclosures worth a closer look
The table below shows deduplicated rows from ProBors as of August 28, 2026. Lag is calendar days between transaction date and filing date as reported in each disclosure.
| Politician | Chamber | Ticker / asset | Type | Traded | Filed | Lag | Amount range | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michael Rulli | House | GOOGL | Sale (Partial) | August 24, 2026 | August 24, 2026 | 0 days | $50,001–$100,000 | Normal |
| Nancy Pelosi | House | INTC | Purchase | July 24, 2026 | August 21, 2026 | 28 days | $500,001–$1,000,000 | High signal |
| Nancy Pelosi | House | BE | Purchase | July 24, 2026 | August 21, 2026 | 28 days | $1,000,001–$5,000,000 | High signal |
| Nancy Pelosi | House | BE | Purchase (call option) | July 28, 2026 | August 21, 2026 | 24 days | $500,001–$1,000,000 | Worth watching |

| David McCormick | Senate | Allegheny County PA higher-ed bonds (no ticker) | Sale | July 30, 2026 | August 27, 2026 | 28 days | $250,001–$500,000 | Worth watching |
| David McCormick | Senate | GS Managed Structured Note (no ticker) | Purchase | August 10, 2026 | August 27, 2026 | 17 days | $250,001–$500,000 | Normal |
How to read this without overfitting:
- Rulli's GOOGL partial sale filed August 24 with 0-day lag is the fastest equity turnaround in this snapshot—a same-day House disclosure on an August 24 trade date.
- Pelosi's August 21 cluster spans seven House rows across INTC and BE, mixing common-stock purchases and call-option purchases in the $250,001–$5,000,000 brackets. Four rows carry High signal scores; ProBors flagged the INTC lines partly because of nearby insider buying activity and the BE lines as first-time ticker disclosures for this member with large size relative to prior filings.
- Boozman's August 24 batch contains 14 Senate ETF and fund sales (including LLY, CRM, IWM, and IVV) with trade dates from November 2025 and filing lag of 276 to 291 days. That is a backlog category, not same-week trading.
- McCormick's August 27 batch covers 19 Senate rows filed on one date. Eleven are GS Managed Structured Note purchases from early-to-mid August; the remainder are municipal and school-district bond sales from late July. Most carry no equity ticker—treat these as fixed-income and structured-product disclosures.
Filing lag in plain language
STOCK Act disclosures are periodic reports, not live trade feeds. In this late-August snapshot:
- Fastest: Rulli's GOOGL partial sale at 0-day lag—traded and filed August 24
- Typical fresh equity trades: Pelosi's INTC and BE lines at 24- to 28-day lag, filed August 21 on July trade dates
- Structured-note batch: McCormick's August 27 Senate filing covers August purchases with 8- to 30-day lag depending on the line
- Backlog filings: Boozman's August 24 batch ties to November 2025 trade dates with 276- to 291-day lag
When a headline says a senator "just disclosed" ETF sales, check both dates. An August 24 filing may cover trades from November 2025. For the rules behind that gap, see STOCK Act filing delay explained.
How to research this week's filings on ProBors
- Open Congressional trades and sort by filing date descending to mirror this snapshot.
- Filter by House when you want clusters like Pelosi's August 21 INTC and BE batch or Rulli's same-day GOOGL line.
- Filter by Senate and search a politician name to isolate backlog waves like Boozman's August 24 ETF sales or McCormick's August 27 structured-note batch.
- Sort by signal score when you want to triage the four High signal Pelosi rows before reading every backlog line.
- Cross-check any notable row against the original PTR or Senate eFD PDF before citing it in notes or journalism.

What this does not prove
A filing date in late August does not mean the politician traded that week. Boozman's August 24 batch covers November 2025 ETF sales—filed more than nine months later. McCormick's 19-row August 27 batch is mostly municipal bonds and structured notes, not a single stock pick. Pelosi's High signal INTC and BE rows combine disclosure timing with size and insider-activity context—they do not establish non-public information, committee conflict, or timing around pending legislation. Rulli's same-day GOOGL partial sale is a small bracket line, not a portfolio thesis. None of these disclosures are trade signals. They are public records worth reading carefully.
FAQ
How many congressional trades were filed in late August 2026?
ProBors shows 41 deduplicated disclosure rows with filing dates from August 21 through August 27, 2026, across four politicians. The count is after removing identical politician-ticker-type-date-amount-chamber duplicates.
Why did John Boozman file trades from November 2025 in August 2026?
Boozman's August 24 Senate filing contains 14 rows with trade dates from November 2025 and filing lag of 276 to 291 days. That pattern is consistent with a periodic backlog disclosure rather than same-week trading. Always compare the transaction date to the filing date before drawing conclusions.
Which tickers appeared most in congressional filings recently?
Over the prior 14 days in ProBors, Alphabet (GOOGL) and IBM each appear once in congressional ticker activity. The late-August window is dominated by Pelosi's INTC and BE lines rather than broad multi-member ticker overlap.
How fast do House members file compared to Senate members in this batch?
Rulli's House GOOGL row filed August 24 carries 0-day lag on an August 24 trade date. Pelosi's House INTC and BE rows filed August 21 show 24- to 28-day lag on July trade dates. Boozman's Senate ETF rows filed August 24 carry 276- to 291-day lag on November 2025 trade dates—a much wider spread than the fastest House lines.
Where can I verify these rows against original filings?
Each House PTR is available through the House Clerk's disclosure search. Senate reports are published through the Senate eFD system. Rows were checked in ProBors and should be verified against the original filing.
