This legislation would ban members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children from purchasing individual securities issued by publicly traded companies. The Stop Insider Trading Act is sponsored by Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI).\n\n\u201cThe American people send lawmakers to Washington, D.C. to deliver on policy promises, not to enrich themselves by profiting off insider information. Republican, Democrat, or Independent, there must be consequences for those who are only working for their financial benefit. The passage of the Stop Insider Trading Act is a critical step in ensuring accountability and restoring public trust in elected officials,\u201d said Rep. Simpson.\n\nThe measure was approved with a vote of 232 to 198.", 1, "2026-07-25T07:13:44Z", "2026-07-25T07:15:09Z"]], "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://simpson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=402040"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8527110330760479, "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"}
