Following the Senate on Homeland Safety and Authorities Affairs Committee’s (HSGAC) development of a invoice in the present day that will ban lawmakers from proudly owning and buying and selling inventory, Residents for Duty and Ethics in Washington (CREW) launched the next assertion:
“CREW applauds the senators who spearheaded and supported this bipartisan effort to finish congressional inventory buying and selling, together with Sen. Josh Hawley and all the Democratic members of the Committee who joined in voting to advance this lengthy overdue invoice. For years, Congress has been affected by rising public mistrust partially because of members of Congress from each events making problematic inventory trades and proudly owning inventory in corporations that they oversee and to which they acceptable taxpayer {dollars}. This widespread sense reform will assist restore public belief in Congress. We urge the complete Senate to cross this invoice as quickly as doable.”
CREW has for years advocated for a complete ban on congressional inventory buying and selling. The time to place an finish to this unethical observe is now.
