Our elected representatives in Congress are supposed to serve the people,
not their personal financial interests. Yet, all too often, we see that
Members of Congress use information from briefings and knowledge of
pending federal legislation to enrich themselves.

That’s why we need to ban Members of Congress and their spouses from
holding and trading stocks. Pramila was proud to join Senator Elizabeth
Warren last week to introduce the Bipartisan Ban on Congressional Stock
Ownership Act in order to put this stock ban in place. It’s good policy,
and it’s simply the right thing to do. We cannot leave this door open for
corruption any longer.

alongside Senator Warren to root out corruption in Congress? Members of
Congress need to serve the people, not their own bank accounts.

There are other bills in Congress right now that deal with stock bans for
lawmakers in the House and Senate, but Pramila’s bill with Senator Warren
is the strongest.

The legislation would ban Members of Congress and their spouses from
owning and trading individual stocks, bonds, commodities, futures, and
other securities including an interest in a hedge fund, a derivative, an
option or other complex investment vehicle. No other bill is quite this
expansive.

And any violations of this legislation would lead to $50,000 fines
enforced by the Department of Justice.

thing to do. So, can you fuel our efforts to end stock ownership in
Congress? Lawmakers in the House and Senate should focus on legislating
for the people, not the stock market.

In solidarity,

Team Jayapal
