Occurrences

If House Republicans were serious about cleaning up government corruption, they could start by taking up a comprehensive proposed ban on insider trading that has broad backing, covers the insider trading at the White House and which I support enthusiastically.

Pou said she enthusiastically supports a comprehensive insider-trading and stock-trading ban covering Congress and the White House, and the release notes her cosponsorship of H.R. 6731.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term

The promise was to support comprehensive federal legislation, not necessarily to enact it. During Pou's current House term, she publicly supported and cosponsored H.R. 6731, the Restore Trust in Government Act, and signed a discharge petition to force a vote on legislation banning Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from buying and selling stocks while in office. Although the broader policy has not been enacted and related bills remain pending or narrower, her own legislative support satisfies the promised action.
