#CongressTradingBan Members of Congress, like Nancy Pelosi, shouldn't engage in trading for several reasons¹:

- *Conflict of Interest*: Their positions grant them access to sensitive information, potentially influencing their decisions and creating conflicts of interest.

- *Insider Trading*: Using non-public information for personal gain undermines the integrity of the financial markets.

- *Unfair Advantage*: Congressional members may have access to information not available to the public, giving them an unfair advantage in the markets.

As for Nancy Pelosi's net worth increase, publicly available information doesn't provide a precise figure. However, it's worth noting that Pelosi has been a congresswoman since 1987 and has various sources of income, including her congressional salary and investments. Without specific data, it's challenging to determine the exact increase in her net worth since becoming a congresswoman.
