Ban Congressional Stock Trading

I agree with the 90% of Americans that believe members of Congress shouldn't be allowed to trade stocks. Every year, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle make millions from trades that often seem based on insider knowledge gained in office.

Even if members of Congress are trading stocks not based on insider information, the appearance of corruption has destroyed trust in Congress. As your Congressman, I will not only support legislation to ban members of Congress from owning or trading stocks – I will introduce a discharge petition on day one to force a floor vote on it. This is the exact procedure that Rep. Khanna and Rep. Massie used to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files, so we know it can work on issues like this where the vast majority of people are on our side.
