(From Fourth District Congressman Mark Alford)
The House recently passed the Stop Insider Trading Act, marking a big step forward.
I've been leading the fight on this issue from the start, which is why I introduced the PELOSI Act to ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks while serving in office.
At the end of the day, it's simple: the American people deserve to know their elected officials are working for them—not their investment portfolios.
Public service is a privilege, not a pathway to personal profit. I'll keep fighting to restore trust in Congress and putting the American people first.
