Ban stock trading, Colorado Democrats urge U.S. House speaker

1 min read

Colorado Democrats have called on U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson to move a floor vote on a proposal that would prohibit members of Congress, the president and vice president from engaging in stock trading. The measure, which is being championed by lawmakers from the state, seeks to curb potential conflicts of interest and increase transparency in federal financial conduct.

The request was reported by Colorado Newsline. The proposal would align with broader efforts to address ethical concerns in Washington.
