This is a new low, John.

In 2012, Congress passed The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act which prohibits members of Congress from using ‘any nonpublic information’ derived from their official positions for personal benefit (insider trading).

As reported by Business Insider, documents required by the STOCK Act show that my opponent, Congressman Dwight Evans, sold up to $15,000 worth of stock in American Electric Power Co. Inc. and then broke anti-insider-trading law by not publicly disclosing these trades until several days after the federally mandated deadline created by the STOCK Act.

For members of Congress like Evans who leverage their position to make money on the stock market, the playbook is crystal clear; take the information you glean in your position at the highest levels of federal policy making and use it to inform your stock purchases and sales.

John, we can’t afford to have members of Congress like Rep. Evans who use their positions to insulate their investments while the American people bear the brunt of market forces. It’s time for better leadership in Congress, and I’d be honored to represent PA-03 in Congress with your support. Can you please chip in $5 today to our campaign?

The STOCK Act is designed to provide transparency when members of Congress are earning money from outside of their congressional salaries and to show conflicts of interest.

STOCK Act violations aside, Dwight Evans has certainly accrued quite a few conflicts of interest.

Evans has invested thousands with the arms manufacturers Raytheon and Lockheed Martin all the while voting on legislation that inches us closer to a military confrontation with Russia, a scenario that sadly remains a possibility given the failure of last week's de-escalation talks in Geneva. Making the conflict of interest even worse, Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin’s PACs both wrote handsome checks to Evans in 2020.

Don’t be fooled by the talk of sustainability and clean energy on Evans’ website, he invested up to $15,000 in Exxon Mobil and up to $15,000 in Royal Dutch Shell.

Evans also invested in the Epstein-connected Apollo Global Management while it was still being run by the infamous Leon Black who is accused of paying Epstein more than $158 million between 2012 and 2017.

If elected, I won’t own any stocks and I will stand alongside Democrats like Senators Ossoff and Warren who are pushing for members of Congress like Rep. Evans to be banned from owning individual stocks.

When I am elected to Congress (with your help!), you will never have to question if I’ll be using my position to make money at the expense of my constituents. I know the difference between right and wrong and abusing my position to make money is something I would never do. Can I count on you to chip in whatever you can to help me bring honest leadership back to Philly?

In solidarity,

Alexandra
