Statement from Nick Langworthy on Passage of the Stop Insider Trading Act

"From the day I came to Congress, I've consistently championed legislation to ban Members and their spouses from trading individual stocks because we are here to serve the people we represent, not cash in on information that isn't available to the public."

"Today, the House took an important step toward stopping this insidious practice by passing the Stop Insider Trading Act that I was proud to co-sponsor and help pass. I'm not a millionaire, and I don't trade stocks-I came to Congress to fight for our communities who, for too long, have been forgotten by those in power. Americans deserve to know that every decision their elected officials make is guided by what's best for the country, not their personal stock portfolios."

"We have a lot of work to do to restore Americans' trust in Congress and getting this bill signed into law would send an important message that we are serious about reform. I urge the Senate to act quickly to get this on the President's desk without delay."
