I am writing to you as a concerned constituent to express my strong support for H.R. 1908, which seeks to prohibit Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from trading or owning stocks. This bill is a necessary step to restore public trust in our government and ensure that elected officials prioritize the interests of the American people over personal financial gain. For too long, members of Congress have had access to non-public information that gives them an unfair advantage in the stock market. The American public deserves confidence that lawmakers are making decisions based on what is best for the country, not their investment portfolios. Allowing members of Congress and their immediate families to engage in stock trading creates clear conflicts of interest that erode faith in our democratic institutions. Banning stock trading and ownership for those in public office is a commonsense reform that both parties should support. Members of Congress should not be able to profit from their positions of power. Instead, their focus should be on serving their constituents with integrity and transparency. I urge you to fully support and vote in favor of H.R. 1908. Additionally, I ask that you publicly advocate for its passage and work with your colleagues to ensure that it becomes law. The American people are demanding accountability, and this bill is a critical step toward achieving it. Thank you for your time and attention to this crucial matter. I look forward to your response and to seeing meaningful action on this issue.
