#CongressTradingBan The topic of banning stock trading by members of Congress has gained significant traction recently, reflecting widespread public concern about potential conflicts of interest and insider trading. As a public servant, I firmly believe that elected officials should prioritize the interests of their constituents over personal financial gain. The proposed bipartisan legislation, such as the ETHICS Act and the TRUST in Congress Act, aims to prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from trading or owning individual stocks, ensuring transparency and accountability. This is a critical step toward restoring public trust, as polls show over 80% of Americans across party lines support such a ban. By divesting from individual stocks or placing them in blind trusts, lawmakers can focus on serving the public without the appearance of profiting from privileged information. Supporting this reform is essential to uphold the integrity of our democratic institutions and ensure governance remains free from personal financial influence.
