John, 

Members of Congress are some of the most powerful and influential people in our nation, privy to confidential information that affects all sectors of our society.

So why are they still able to benefit off of this information for their own personal financial gain by trading stocks? That’s not fair — especially considering the significant conflicts of interest that could arise.

I believe that this is a commonsense, bipartisan issue that requires a commonsense, bipartisan solution: Stop insider trading, hold Members of Congress accountable, and put an end to financial greed and corruption in our federal government.

The good news is that several Members of Congress have proposed the bipartisan TRUST Act in Congress, which would limit the opportunities for Members of Congress to profit off of their positions through access to privileged information.

Trump and his billionaire backers prove to us that power shouldn’t be dictated by money, it should be determined by the people. As your next Congressman, I would prioritize people over profits every single day. But I need your help to get there.

There’s still a long path ahead of us, but you can help us keep up this momentum. Can you chip in $3 today as part of our movement to bring the people back to our halls of Congress? Our movement is stronger because of how many of us there are — not how much we’re able to spend.
