Washington, DC — Following the introduction of the No Getting Rich in Congress Act, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens released a new video detailing the bill’s strong accountability measures to restore public trust, including a ban on Congressional stock trading.
Watch the video here.
Key Excerpts:
- Too many people are getting rich in Congress. That has to stop. I’ve been in Congress for eight years. I’m not a millionaire, I don’t trade stocks.
- Today I’m introducing a new bill to ban corruption, insider trading, and yes—getting rich while in Congress. Here’s what it does:
- It bans stock trading by Members of Congress and their families.
- It bans lobbying for foreign adversaries after you leave Congress.
- It bans Members of Congress and their spouses from serving on corporate boards while they’re in office.
- So no more getting rich in Congress. Our leaders should be focused on serving their communities, not their stock portfolios.
