Americans across the political spectrum agree on one thing
Americans across the political spectrum agree on one thing: Members of Congress should not be trading stocks that influence how they think about an issue as they're writing laws or voting. It's a glaring conflict of interest, and it's long past time to end it.
But instead of real reform, House Republicans are pushing a half-baked bill that pretends to fix the problem while letting Members continue to hold and sell stock.
It's a smokescreen. Passing a weak bill would only entrench corruption and let Congress pat itself on the back without actually changing anything.
This is our moment to do it right. Real reform means a full ban on Congressional stock trading, without loopholes or carve-outs. That's why I support comprehensive, bipartisan legislation like the Restore Trust in Congress Act — a serious proposal that actually puts the public interest first.
Anything less is a betrayal of the American people. If Congress can't hold itself to basic ethical standards, how can we expect the public to trust our democracy?
Add your name today to demand real reform and an outright ban on Congressional stock trading.
Onward!
