Dusty Johnson, Chip Roy (R-TX), and Seth Magaziner (D-RI) re-introduced the bipartisan TRUST in Congress Act to prohibit Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from trading individual stocks during their time in Congress.
Johnson supported a bill banning individual stock trading by members of Congress and their families while serving.
We should go further, though, banning members from making stock transactions that are legal for other citizens. The Stop Insider Trading Act passed the House this week with my support. This bill prohibits Members, their spouse, and dependent children from buying individual stocks while in office and implements an advanced notice requirement for any Member looking to sell already-held stocks.
Johnson reiterated support for banning members of Congress and their immediate family from buying individual stocks while in office through the Stop Insider Trading Act.
