It’s about time we take this on. We’re sick of senators and representatives who invest in health care stocks while voting on the cost of OUR health care, energy stocks and more....
Corrupt!

Time to Take a Pledge: No Stocks if You’re a Member of Congress

Owning actively traded shares can create conflicts of interest. Georgia’s Senate candidates agree. Will others? Mutual funds could be good for them.

Getting senators and representatives to divest stocks and other conflicts of interest is not a partisan issue. I raised this concern in a 2018 Minnesota Democratic primary and now we have a Republican Senator from Georgia who may have traded based on inside information.
Awful.
For a U.S. senator to trade stocks on the basis of material nonpublic government information is a felony under section 10b of the 1934 Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 as well as the STOCK Act. Georgia voters should elect a senator who represents them, not her own portfolio.
