move to discharge the Committee on Rules from the consideration of the resolution (H.Res. 725) entitled, a resolution providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1908) to prohibit stock trading and ownership by Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children
Support prohibiting stock trading and ownership by Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children.
Occurrences
Evidence
Julie has supported a "ban on congressional stock trading" by signing on as a cosponsor, and says she divested her personal stock holdings.
At the markup, Johnson said, "There's no porridge in the bowl," rejecting the GOP bill as too weak and backing a broader ban push.
Assessments
Johnson publicly supported a congressional stock-trading ban, cosponsored related efforts, and said she divested her own holdings. That is meaningful advocacy, but the evidence does not show enactment of a binding prohibition covering members, spouses, and dependent children, so the promise was not fully delivered.
