In response to mounting pressure from Alexandria, our movement, and others in Congress, House Democratic leaders, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, announced support for legislation to address ‘conflicted stock trading’ for Members of Congress.
Alexandria never shies away from fighting for what is right. She along with Reps. Krishnamoorthi and Neguse and Senator Merkley introduced a bill three years ago to ban stock trading because Members of Congress should not have an unfair advantage to profit off the ups and downs in the stock market. Period.
Over the last few years, Alexandria has repeatedly stated that Members of Congress should not have access to privileged information and be able to hold and trade individual stocks at the same time. Her voice in conjunction with all of us is moving the needle forward and we’re so grateful, but there’s still a ways to go.

Thank you for your support.
