Join us in signing the petition and assert that Members of Congress should not own or trade individual stock. In 2021, 54 members of Congress and at least 182 top staff members violated the STOCK Act, which requires that members disclose financial trades within 90 days. In 2020, 75 lawmakers held stocks in vaccine producers Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, or Pfizer. Most of those trades happened in the early weeks of the pandemic. Fifteen Congress members with a hand in crafting defense policy invest in military contractors. Over a dozen members in key roles shaping energy policy invest in fossil fuel corporations. The list goes on... Senators Jeff Merkley and Sherrod Brown have introduced a bipartisan initiative, the ETHICS Act, aimed at halting stock trading activities by members of Congress. This much-needed legislation seeks to restore public trust and ensure that our representatives remain focused on the nation's welfare, not their stock portfolios. Three in four voters agree that members of Congress should be banned from trading stock. Lawmakers are in Congress to serve, not to gain an unfair advantage in the stock market. Join us and Daily Kos in signing the petition to demand that Members of Congress be barred from owning or trading individual stock.
