First Hawley (who doesn’t own stock) explains why this bill is so important.

“86% of Americans say members of Congress should not be able to buy and sell shares of stock.”

“We’ve seen the former speaker of the house make millions of dollars of profits.”

“We’ve seen members of both parties, I’m sad to say, be investigated for their stock trades.”

“And the reason for all of this is, that quite frankly, members of this body are privy to information that the normal person just is not.”
