I am writing to express serious concern about your violation of the STOCK Act, which requires members of Congress to disclose stock trades within 45 days. According to recent reporting, you failed to disclose 22 of your husband Wesley Britt's stock trades within the required timeframe, with 16 trades disclosed more than six months late. These trades were valued between approximately $22,000 and $330,000. When you took your oath of office, you swore to uphold the laws of this country. The STOCK Act exists to prevent conflicts of interest and maintain public trust in our government. The Senate Ethics Committee's guidance is explicit: you are personally responsible for monitoring account statements and timely reporting transactions, even when investment decisions are delegated to others. Blaming your husband's broker does not absolve you of this legal responsibility. Your office stated that additional guardrails have been implemented, but provided no details about what those measures are. More importantly, your spokesperson would not clarify whether you support pending legislation to bar lawmakers and their families from trading individual stocks. The House Administration Committee recently advanced the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would prohibit federal lawmakers and their immediate family members from trading individual stocks. This is a straightforward solution to a problem that has plagued dozens of members of Congress from both parties. I expect you to publicly disclose whether you have reported this violation to the Senate Ethics Committee and whether you have paid the required fine. More importantly, I urge you to publicly support the Stop Insider Trading Act and commit to ending stock trading by members of Congress and their families. The American people deserve representatives who prioritize transparency and accountability over personal financial gain.
