The Restoring Integrity in Democracy Resolution, introduced by Rep. Angie Craig, would prohibit Members of Congress from serving on corporate boards.
Support legislation to prohibit Members of Congress from serving on corporate boards.
Occurrences
Evidence
Section 9101 amends House rules to prohibit Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner from serving on the board of directors of any for-profit entity.
Neguse, identified as an original cosponsor, spoke on the House floor in support of H.R. 1 and its ethics reforms.
The Senate cloture vote on the For the People Act tied 50-50 and the motion was rejected, leaving the bill stalled.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation banning Members of Congress from serving on corporate boards, not to ensure the ban became law. Neguse was an original cosponsor of H.R. 1 in the 117th Congress and publicly advocated for it on the House floor, and the bill text included the specific corporate-board prohibition. Although the measure later stalled in the Senate, Neguse fulfilled the narrower commitment to support such legislation during the same term.
