Ban Members of Congress from trading stocks
Angie Craig will support a ban on members of Congress trading individual stocks.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. Craig said she was reintroducing her NO STOCK Resolution, and her office said the legislation would require every sitting member of the U.S. House to immediately sell individual stocks and refrain from future stock ownership while in office.
Congress.gov shows H.Res.491 was introduced by Rep. Craig and referred to the House Committee on Ethics. The text would prohibit Members of Congress from owning individual stocks.
Assessments
Craig promised to support a ban on members of Congress trading individual stocks. In federal office, she publicly reintroduced and sponsored the NO STOCK Resolution, which would require House members to sell individual stocks and refrain from future ownership while serving. The measure did not pass, but the promised action was support for the ban, not enactment of the ban. Sponsoring the resolution is a concrete same-term fulfillment of that support promise.
