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.
Whether or not you can contribute today, thank you for standing with us.
In solidarity,
Team AOC
