Are you with me?

John, today I’m announcing that as a U.S. Senator, I won’t own or trade individual stocks. During my eight years as Governor of North Carolina, I followed that same policy. In a second, I will explain why, but if that’s all you need to hear, then send a contribution my campaign’s way today.

If not, keep reading.

Leaders in the legislative branch like Senators and members of Congress, and leaders in the executive branch like the President, Cabinet Secretaries and other leaders confirmed by the Senate are there to serve the people they represent, not to trade a company's stock on insider knowledge to get rich. The problem is, too many Washington politicians are more interested in using the inside knowledge they gain from their power to enrich themselves and their families. It’s past time to ban congressional and executive leader stock trading.

It’s wrong, it leads to corruption and it has to stop. I’m ready to lead by example.

I will not trade individual company stocks now during my time as a candidate or when I’m elected to serve as the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina. I can make that promise because, intentionally, I don’t own any individual stocks now — and I will not buy any individual stocks when I get to Washington.

I’m not running for Senate to take the information I learn in private meetings and use it to trade stocks just so that I can make a buck. I’m running to make housing more affordable, bring health care costs down, and end the chaotic tariff nonsense that’s driving up prices on almost anything Americans buy.

That’s why I strongly support a congressional and executive branch leader stock trading ban. I need to know if you’re with me, John. Sign my petition today to join me and call for a ban on congressional stock trading.

SIGN THE PETITION

Thanks for taking a stand,

Roy Cooper

Democrat Roy Cooper is running for U.S. Senate to help take back the Majority for Democrats. North Carolina is Democrats’ best chance to flip a seat from red to blue — the path to stopping Republicans in Washington starts here.

National Republicans will target North Carolina as a key battleground and invest heavily in defeating us.

Cooper is a former state legislator, Attorney General, and most recently Governor of North Carolina. North Carolina will be the most competitive Senate election of 2026, and Cooper enters the race as the most formidable candidate of either party.

Cooper’s signature achievements include helping to expand Medicaid and helping make NC the top state for business by creating thousands of jobs and growing the clean energy economy.

Donate today to help win this seat and flip the Senate blue.
