The proposed legislation aims to prohibit insider trading by members of Congress and other government officials who may exploit their access to non-public information for personal financial gain. This unethical practice undermines public trust in our democratic institutions and creates an unfair playing field in the markets. As elected representatives, legislators have a duty to serve the interests of their constituents, not to enrich themselves through privileged information. Enacting this bill would send a strong message that insider trading by those in power will not be tolerated, restoring confidence in the integrity of our government. I urge you to support this crucial measure to uphold transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct in public service.
