John, Tom Nelson made headlines by joining other progressives in calling for lawmakers to be banned from trading stocks. See for yourself:
Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have been taking advantage of their access to inside information for years and have raked in millions in profits while working Wisconsin families struggle. It’s unacceptable, and thankfully, a movement for change has started.
Tom told Axios: “Democrats and Republicans equally take advantage of this and it is wrong. They don’t need to be trading like Gordon Gekko or Bud Fox. Just get mutual funds and CDs like the rest of us. How difficult can that be?”
Just as he said, this is another example of how unequal and unfair our representatives are compared to the average American worker. If you’re tired of hearing about politicians cashing out while the rest of the country suffers, join Tom in calling for change.

Tom is running for U.S. Senate because we need real leaders in Washington who will take COVID seriously. And if we can take on a pandemic, we can take on anything. And if you can win in a red county six times, you can win anywhere. If you’d like to unsubscribe, click here.
