Just today, Senator Bob Menedez was found guilty of bribery and corruption. This is unacceptable and we should demand better, especially from one of our country’s leaders.
Our government is supposed to be of the people, for the people, and by the people. We must bring transparency, accountability, and integrity back to the Halls of Congress. This isn’t an easy mission, but it’s one that we cannot fail. I’ve already led the charge to make D.C. more accountable to the people it represents:
- We’re leading the bipartisan effort to ensure Members of Congress aren’t using the information they gain in Congress to make stock trades. The Prohibit Insider Trading Act will prohibit Members from trading stocks and impose a massive fine for violators.
- Members of Congress shouldn’t be getting rich through their public service, which is why I introduced the End Automatic Pay Raises Act so that Members don’t automatically get a raise year after year.
- We must slow the revolving door from Capitol Hill to lobbying jobs. That’s why I introduced the Ban Members from Becoming Lobbyists Act to triple the amount of time a Member of Congress must wait between leaving public service and starting a job as a lobbyist.
There’s still more to do – so I want to hear from you. What do you think my priority should be next?
