The TRUST in Congress Act seeks to address potential conflicts of interest by requiring Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children to place certain investments like securities, commodities, and derivatives into qualified blind trusts. This measure aims to reassure the public that legislators are acting solely in the nation's interest when making decisions, rather than being influenced by personal financial stakes. While reasonable people may disagree on the exact provisions, increasing transparency and accountability for our elected representatives is a worthy goal. I urge you to carefully review and consider co-sponsoring this legislation to help restore faith in our democratic institutions.
