CNN reports, "In the immediate aftermath of the Israel-Hamas War, shares
of military contractors spiked."

And members of Congress like corporate Democrat Josh Gottheimer recently
bought stock in...military companies.

Americans deserve to be confident that lawmakers' decisions on vital
issues like war and peace are not based on their personal stock
portfolios.

Members of Congress often get detailed briefings the public may not have
access to for days, weeks, or even months. During COVID, before the public
knew what was coming, one Republican senator bought stock in body bags.

Today, at least fifteen members of Congress with responsibility for
military policy invest in defense contractors. Over a dozen members in key
roles shaping energy policy invest in fossil fuel corporations. The list
goes on.

Senators Jeff Merkley and Sherrod Brown have introduced a bipartisan
initiative, the ETHICS Act, aimed at halting stock trading activities by
members of Congress. Members of Congress would still be able to put their
money in mutual funds and index funds -- they just could not buy stock in
individual companies.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
