Dear John,
It’s bad enough that Donald Trump’s idiotic tariff policy is destabilizing our economy. Now, it seems like government officials might be profiting off the chaos, too.
Take a look at how stock trading spiked BEFORE Trump announced his tariff “pause.”
Our savings and retirement are not chips for Trump officials or members of Congress to gamble with. The American people deserve answers about whether anyone used nonpublic information to juice their own stock portfolios.
The reality is that existing guardrails aren’t enough to stop the self-dealing in Washington.
When I was in Congress, I introduced legislation that would’ve banned members of Congress, the president and vice president, and the justices of the Supreme Court from trading individual stocks. And, in my political work, I only endorse Congressional candidates who support a ban on members of Congress trading stock.
We deserve confidence that our elected officials are acting in the public interest, not their own self interest. If I’m elected California’s next governor, you can always count on me to act in the best interest of Californians.
But I need your help if we’re going to win this race. Can you make a donation of $5 today?
Thanks for considering,
Katie
