Ban members of Congress, their families, and congressional staff from trading individual stocks and participating in prediction markets.
Occurrences
Evidence
"We are writing to urge immediate changes to the rules package for the 119th Congress to include a clear, enforceable ban on Members, their families, and staff trading in individual stocks and in prediction markets." Jason Crow is listed among the signers on page 2.
Crow said the House "should amend its rules, which currently do not address prediction markets or stock trading" and called for a ban on members, their families, and congressional staff from trading individual stocks and participating in prediction markets.
Assessments
Crow materially advanced the promised policy during his current federal House term by publicly urging House leadership to change the 119th Congress rules package and by signing a bipartisan letter calling for a clear ban on members, families, and staff trading individual stocks and participating in prediction markets. However, the evidence only shows advocacy and a rules-change request, not adoption of the ban or enactment into binding House rules or federal law. Because the promised outcome was not delivered despite a serious attempt, this is a failed delivery with an effort badge rather than partial or delivered.
