Serve the public, not your portfolio.
I back a hard ban on congressional stock trading — no loopholes, no partisan exceptions.
My pledge: On Day One, I’ll put my household assets in a qualified blind trust limited to diversified index funds and U.S. Treasuries, and co-sponsor a bipartisan ban.
The rule:
No individual holdings. No stocks, options, crypto, single-company bonds, or sector ETFs for Members, spouses, or dependent children.
Divest or blind trust in 90 days.
24-hour disclosures on a single public dashboard for permitted transactions.
Real enforcement: automatic fines, disgorgement, and loss of committee seats for repeat offenders.
Covers senior staff and committee staff, too.
No back doors: bans shell entities and complex vehicles.
Bottom line: If you want to trade, don’t run Congress. If you want to serve, serve the people — full stop.
