A ban on members trading stocks
What they say
Her campaign says members of Congress should be banned from trading individual stocks.
“She also believes that we need to ban our Representatives from other behaviors that erode public trust, like trading individual stocks.”
What the record shows ·
She is an original cosponsor of the No Corruption in Government Act (H.R. 358), introduced January 13, 2025 by Representative Zach Nunn; its section 102 would bar members of Congress and their spouses from holding, buying or selling securities and commodities while in office, with exceptions for diversified funds, Treasury securities and blind trusts. She was also an original cosponsor of the TRUST in Congress Act, which would require members and their families to put covered investments in a blind trust, in both Congresses (H.R. 345, January 12, 2023; H.R. 396, January 14, 2025), and later joined the Prohibit Insider Trading Act (H.R. 1138, 118th Congress) and the Restore Trust in Congress Act (H.R. 5106, 119th Congress). None of those five has had a floor vote. On July 22, 2026 she voted for Rep. Bryan Steil's Stop Insider Trading Act (H.R. 7008), which passed the House 232 to 198 (Roll Call 280). She was one of 13 Democrats who voted yes. Just before, she voted for Rep. Seth Magaziner's motion to send it back to committee, which failed 211 to 218 (Roll Call 279). The bill bars members, spouses and dependent children from buying stocks and requires public notice 7 to 14 days before a sale. It does not make them sell what they hold. As passed, it also requires photo ID to vote. It is on the Senate calendar.
