The TRUST in Congress Act aims to address the concerning issue of public mistrust in elected officials by requiring Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children to place certain investments into qualified blind trusts. This measure seeks to prevent potential conflicts of interest and restore faith in the integrity of our government. Many Americans perceive politicians as beholden to special interests or focused on personal enrichment rather than serving the people's interests. By separating lawmakers from direct control over their investment portfolios during their time in office, this Act takes a meaningful step towards increasing transparency and accountability. Implementing such ethical standards is crucial for renewing the public's trust that their representatives are working for the greater good, free from undue influence. This legislation represents an important effort to uphold the principles of democratic representation and good governance. Vocally support this bill to help regain the trust of the American people in Congress.
