Louise M. Slaughter, MS Biography |
| Title: |
US Representative (D-NY) |
| Position: |
Con to the question "Should Insider Trading by Congress Be Allowed?" |
| Reasoning: |
"Members of Congress and federal employees often have early access to sensitive information that can seriously affect the stock market. Unfortunately, there is a very real potential for this information to be used improperly. As we work to strengthen our economy, the STOCK [Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge] Act will not only help rebuild trust in our markets, but also ensure the integrity of this Congress."
