Members of Congress shouldn’t be able to engage in insider trading. It’s
really common sense.

That’s why everyone from AOC to Matt Gaetz are getting together behind a
new bill -- the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act -- to ban
members of Congress and their families from insider stock trading.

When Members of Congress trade individual stocks, people are right to
question whether their decisions are for the public good or their own
personal benefit. During the height of COVID, we saw senators leave
briefings and trade stocks -- even investing in body bags.

congressional insider trading? Click here to sign.

Members of Congress often get detailed briefings the public may not have
access to for days, weeks, or even months. This information can be about
investigations, hearings, policy changes, supply chain issues, new
technologies -- or even as we’ve seen these past few years -- global
pandemics and looming bank failures.

But all too often, we’ve seen that instead of using this information to
help American families, Members of Congress have used their positions to
make lucrative stock trading decisions that benefit themselves.

The Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government, supported by Democrats and
Republicans, is our best chance in a very long time to restore some trust
that members of Congress are working for the people -- not their
pocketbooks.

Congress that Americans DO care about the integrity of their elected
officials.

In solidarity,

-- Team AOC
