It’s just wrong,”Senator Hawley said. “Members of Congress should be focused on delivering results for their constituents, not returns on investments. It’s time to find out where members stand. It’s time we restore trust in Congress and ban all members from trading and holding stocks.”ThePELOSI Actwould ban lawmakers and their spouses from purchasing, selling or holding individual stocks for the duration of the lawmaker’s time in office.
