That\u2019s why I worked with President Obama to ban insider trading by Members of Congress \u2013 and why we need to strengthen that law. Speaker Johnson is the only person standing in the way of a vote on our stock trading ban, so we\u2019re going to force his hand. With Congress\u2019 approval rating at an all-time low, it is time for us to step up and restore trust with the public. Let\u2019s end Congressional stock trading once and for all.\u201d\n\nLarson has long been an advocate for regulating Congressional stock trading. In 2012, he helped lead efforts to pass the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, to ensure Members of Congress cannot profit from information they learn in the course of their work and joined President Obama when he signed it into law.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://larson.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/larson-moves-force-house-vote-congressional-stock-trading-ban"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.519037177786231, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
