Here’s the way I see it: someone can be a member of Congress, or they and their spouse can own and trade individual stocks, but they shouldn’t be able to do both at the same time.

The American people need to have confidence that their representatives in Washington are making decisions in the public interest — not to line their own pockets.

There’s bipartisan will in Washington to ban members and their spouses from owning and trading individual stocks. I’m going to keep pushing. But Congress needs to know that this should be a top priority, so I’m asking this grassroots team to raise your voice.

Add your name if you agree: Members of Congress and their spouses shouldn’t be allowed to own and trade individual stocks.

I’ve been working on this issue for years, and I believe we’re closer than ever to making it happen.

But I won’t stop there. We need to go even further, including banning federal judges, Cabinet secretaries, and other top officials from owning and trading stocks. And to root corruption out of Washington, we must end lobbying as we know it, put a padlock on the revolving door, strengthen judicial ethics, and more (yes, I’ve got a plan for all that).

In the meantime, though, we can at least get Congress to take this basic step: Put your money in conflict-free investments, or pick a new line of work.

Let’s get this done, and let’s increase confidence that Congress is working in the public interest. Add your name to say you’re in this fight all the way.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
