**Support and Expedite Vote on Restore Trust in Congress Act**
The Restore Trust in Congress Act is a crucial step towards rebuilding public confidence in our legislative branch. As your constituent, I urge you to support this bipartisan bill and push for an immediate vote. The current system leaves room for potential conflicts of interest that undermine the integrity of Congress.
This new legislation addresses the shortcomings of the STOCK Act by implementing a comprehensive ban on stock trading for lawmakers, their spouses, and dependent children. The bill's provisions allow for investment in diversified funds and provides a tax-deferral option for transitioning current stock holdings. I understand there are concerns about recruitment and financial hardship for members. However, the bill's allowances for diversified investments and family-owned businesses address these issues while maintaining the integrity of the ban. This balanced approach maintains financial opportunities for lawmakers while eliminating the possibility of using insider information for personal profit.
Passing this bill would send a clear message that Congress is committed to ethical governance. Support the Restore Trust in Congress Act and advocate for its immediate consideration on the House floor. Your constituents are watching, and your leadership on this issue will not go unnoticed.
