We have somehow conditioned ourselves to believe that it is normal for
members of Congress — who swore an oath to the people — to day-trade
individual stocks and make millions with the sensitive information that
they are entrusted with to serve.

How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on health care, energy, or
war when their personal money is tied up in pharmaceutical companies, oil
companies, or defense companies' stocks? You can't.

Moreover, millionaires in Congress are a dime a dozen. We must do
everything we can to level the playing field when people run for elected
office.

So yesterday, Alexandria joined a bipartisan coalition to introduce the
Restore Trust in Congress Act — because we deserve better from our leaders
that abuse their position in Congress to make huge profits from the stock
market.

[ [link removed] ]Quote from AOC: "If anyone says, 'This isn't fair. I'm gonna have to
divest all my stocks if I run for Congress,' maybe you should stay home."

[ [link removed] ]Alexandria knows that we must restore the American people’s faith in
our institutions, and that starts by demanding better from members of both
parties. Will you make a $5 contribution today to power her
fight in Congress?

Team AOC
