#CongressTradingBan

The #CongressTradingBan movement calls for a complete prohibition on stock trading by members of Congress. Critics argue that elected officials often have access to non-public information, which can lead to conflicts of interest and unfair financial advantages. Supporters of the ban believe it’s essential for restoring public trust in the democratic process. Recent controversies, including questionable trades and market-influencing actions, have reignited debates on the ethics of congressional trading. Advocates emphasize the need for stronger laws beyond the STOCK Act to ensure transparency, prevent corruption, and reinforce that lawmakers should serve the people—not their portfolios.
