Spanberger’s bill to prevent stock-trading by members of Congress and their families builds momentum

U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger’s TRUST in Congress Act, which prevents members of Congress and their family from trading stock, is building momentum in Congress with strong bipartisan support and an evolving co-sponsor list.

H.R. 336, also known as TRUST (Transparent Representation Upholding Service and Trust) in Congress Act, requires all members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children to place certain assets into blind trusts, preventing them from insider trading.
