Ban Congress From Trading Stocks

Members of Congress should not be allowed to trade stocks while in office. Lawmakers like you often have access to nonpublic information that can move financial markets. This creates potential for lawmakers to personally profit from their office. Our current restrictions are far too weak. Banning congressional stock trading would help restore trust that our elected representatives and senators are responsive to voters — not their personal financial interests. Leaders of both parties are already proposing reforms to ban or seriously limit stock trading abilities for members of Congress. Please support them.
