As your constituent, I urge you to support legislation banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office. This issue transcends political affiliations and strikes at the heart of public trust in our government.
The American people deserve to know that their elected officials are making decisions based solely on the public's best interest—not influenced by the potential for personal financial gain. Unfortunately, the perception of insider trading or conflicts of interest undermines faith in our democratic institutions and fuels public cynicism.
A national ban on congressional stock trading would:
Protect Integrity: Ensure that elected officials prioritize their duty to constituents over personal financial interests.
Restore Trust: Demonstrate a commitment to transparency and accountability in public service.
Level the Playing Field: Eliminate any unfair advantage from access to sensitive information unavailable to the general public.
By implementing a clear and enforceable ban, Congress can set a powerful example of ethical leadership and accountability. I strongly encourage you to champion this critical reform and join the growing chorus of Americans calling for change.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to seeing you take a stand on behalf of integrity, trust, and the principles of good governance.
