Rep. Bera Moves to Force Vote on Congressional Stock Trading Ban

Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Ami Bera, M.D. (CA-06) released a statement after signing Representative Anna Paulina Luna’s (FL-13) discharge petition to force a vote on the Restore Trust in Congress Act, bipartisan legislation Rep. Bera co-sponsored in September that bans Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from trading and owning individual stocks:

“Public service is a public trust. Members of Congress should not profit from their positions or trade on information we may receive as part of our official duties. I signed this discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on a stock trading ban and restore confidence in our government. I urge Speaker Johnson to bring this bill to the floor for a vote.”
