Members of Congress should not be allowed to buy, sell, or trade stocks while they are in office. For years, I have led the charge to promote integrity in Congress by introducing bipartisan legislation in both 2020 and 2021 that would require Members of Congress — as well as their spouses and dependent children — to place their stocks in a blind trust as soon as they enter Congress. My TRUST in Congress Act would demonstrate to the American people that Members of Congress are working for them – not our own financial interests – and are willing to place restrictions on ourselves, both to affirm that we are deserving of their trust and to remove even the possible perception of impropriety.
The American people should never have to wonder whether our actions in Congress are influenced by our financial holdings. Reducing corruption is one of my top priorities.

• Introduced and reintroduced the TRUST in Congress Act to ban lawmakers and their spouses from trading stocks.
