Nevada lawmakers advocate for banning individual stock trading

reviewjournal.com

Nevada's congressional members, including Rep. Susie Lee and Sen. Jacky Rosen, support banning individual stock trading by lawmakers. Lee's trading history has changed since her divorce, with her recent transactions limited to a stock purchase for a child. Legislation to prohibit stock trading by Congress members has been introduced multiple times but has not passed. Recent efforts include the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act and the TRUST in Congress Act, both reintroduced in January 2025. Public support for a stock trading ban among lawmakers is high, with studies showing 87% of Republicans and 88% of Democrats in favor. However, previous attempts to pass such legislation have failed.
