Government Ethics
Rebuilding Trust Through Transparency
Rebuild trust in government by ending corruption.
Both parties have corruption problems — and we need to be honest about it. Too many Democrats and Republicans treat public office like a stock portfolio and use privileged insider information to make secret back-door deals and do unbelievably well with stock trades while the rest of us struggle to get by. That's why I wrote the Congressional Insider Trading Prevention Act, a bipartisan ethics reform bill that will make it much harder for politicians, their friends, and their families to engage in insider trading. This bill also increases transparency and ensures our representatives serve the people — not their bank accounts. Please read my draft bill below.
Key Points
Bipartisan approach to ethics reform
Prevention of insider trading by politicians and families
Increased transparency in government dealings
Focus on public service over personal profit
