“If legislation is advanced to help restore trust in government and ensure that those in power are held to the highest ethical standards, then I am proud to support it"
Nah it looks like she was for banning trades using insider trading, and against banning Congress members and their spouses from trading stocks.
If your husband/wife’s entire career is trading stocks I highly doubt you’d be for such. It’s hypocritical that she would be for it now though. She should have kept her stance that she had in that 2012 article, that increasing scrutiny and verifying their trades should be done to make sure no inside information was used.

She stopped supporting it when it had a real chance of passing. Performative progressivism is the Democrat way.
