I’m fighting to: Ban members of Congress from trading stocks ... that’s why I’m proud to pledge to never trade individual stocks while in office.
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks and never trade individual stocks while in office.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House Rules Committee page for H.R. 8070 lists an amendment submitted by Representatives Tlaib and Lee that is described as text for the Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act, which prohibits Members of Congress from having any financial interest in entities that do business with the Department of Defense.
The profile states there is no trade activity for Summer L. Lee and shows no results in the trade history table.
Assessments
Lee appears to have satisfied the personal conduct portion of the promise, with the available tracker showing no individual stock trade activity while in office. She also materially advanced related legislation by submitting an amendment based on the Stop Politicians Profiting from War Act to restrict members' financial interests in defense contractors. However, the broader promised outcome, a ban on members of Congress trading stocks, was not enacted. Because only part of the promise was achieved and the legislative ban failed, this merits partial credit with an effort badge.
The promise had two parts: supporting a congressional stock-trading ban and personally refraining from individual stock trades while in office. The evidence shows Lee took concrete legislative action by submitting an amendment related to restricting congressional financial interests, and a tracker reports no stock trade activity for her. However, the broader promised outcome, a binding ban on members of Congress trading stocks, was not enacted based on the supplied record. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
