Banning stock trading by all federal lawmakers, including Members of Congress, the President, Vice President, and Cabinet officials is critical to uphold ethical standards in public service. While allegations of insider trading are concerning, the real issue is preventing conflicts of interest that could sway policymaking for personal gain. The PELOSI Act prudently bans trading individual stocks and requires divestment within 90 days for this wider group of officials. Implementing this common-sense reform will restore faith that government decisions prioritize the national interest over profiting off insider knowledge. I urge you to support expanding this legislation to cover the entire federal executive and legislative branches to promote full accountability and maintain integrity in governance.
