Ashley Hinson

Government accountability: stock trading and prediction markets

Matches stated direction

What they say

Her campaign says it will ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks and betting on prediction markets.

“Ban Members of Congress from trading individual stocks and betting on prediction markets.”

In their own words, dated

“I don't trade stocks, and no one else in Congress should either – that's why I voted to ban it.”

Aug 29, 2026

“Members of Congress should not be able to gamble on prediction markets when they’re literally influencing the outcomes of those bets. I’m fighting to ban this corrupt insider trading — who would vote against this commonsense bill?”

May 14, 2026

What the record shows · Jul 22, 2026

She cosponsored H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, on January 12, 2026 and voted Yea on its House passage on July 22, 2026 (Roll Call 280, 232 to 198). She sponsored H.Res. 1263 on May 7, 2026, a House rule change to prohibit Members from entering into prediction-market contracts; it was referred to committee.

Limit: The Senate has not passed H.R. 7008, which also carries a voter-ID section, and the House has not adopted H.Res. 1263. Neither is law. A vote and a sponsorship match the stated direction; they do not measure her full ethics record.
