Goodlander Backs Bipartisan Legislation to Ban Congressional Stock Trading

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander is announcing her support for the Restore Trust in Congress Act, bipartisan legislation to prohibit Members of Congress, their spouses, dependent children, and trustees from owning, buying, or selling individual stocks, securities, commodities, futures, and other comparable assets.

"I have dedicated my life to delivering a fair deal for the people of New Hampshire - that includes ensuring our representatives in Congress are focused on fighting for our state, not their own bottom lines," said Congresswoman Goodlander. "It's simple: Members of Congress, who rely on the public's trust to do their jobs and who have access to privileged information by virtue of their position, should not be trading stocks. I'm proud to join a bipartisan coalition of members from across the country to finally ban Members of Congress from owning or selling stocks."
