The article reports on a push to ban stock trading by members of the U.S. Congress following revelations that Illinois Congressman Jonathan Jackson was late in disclosing 31 stock trades made<\/a> by his wife.In response, Illinois Representative Raja krishnamoorthi, along with a bipartisan group of lawmakers, introduced the Restore Trust in Congress Act (HR 5106), which seeks to prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, dependent children, and trustees from owning or trading individual stocks<\/a>, securities, commodities, or futures. The bill aims to prevent insider trading and conflicts of interest among federal lawmakers and includes enforcement mechanisms through congressional ethics offices. The legislation has garnered bipartisan support, including from Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Anna Paulina Luna, the latter noting strong public backing and urging House leadership to bring the bill to a vote.If stalled, supporters are preparing a discharge petition to force consideration. The ban is framed as a necessary reform to restore public trust<\/a> and ensure lawmakers focus on representing their constituents instead of personal financial gain.
