Texas Congressman Chip Roy is leading the charge to clean up the swamp in Washington. Yesterday, Roy joined with other House members to introduce a new bill that would ban lawmakers from trading stocks while they serve in Congress. This is exactly the kind of reform that hardworking Americans have been demanding for years.
The bill is called the Restore Trust in Congress Act, and it has real teeth. It would stop members of Congress from both trading stocks and owning them entirely. Roy teamed up with lawmakers from both parties because this corruption problem affects everyone in Washington.
Conservative firebrands like Anna Paulina Luna from Florida are not messing around with this issue. Luna has promised to force a floor vote using a discharge petition if Speaker Johnson does not act by the end of this month. She told the establishment leadership that asking nicely is over.
For too long, politicians have gotten rich while regular Americans struggle to pay their bills. These lawmakers vote on policies that affect entire industries, then they profit from that inside knowledge. It is a rigged system that benefits the political class at our expense.
Chip Roy understands that you should not be trading stocks when you are voting on laws that affect those same companies. This is basic common sense that somehow escapes too many politicians in both parties. Roy is fighting for the American people, not the special interests.
The fact that this bill needed to be introduced at all shows how corrupt Washington has become. Politicians are supposed to serve the people, not use their positions to get rich quick. This ban would force lawmakers to choose between serving America or serving their own wallets.
Speaker Johnson now faces a critical test of his leadership. Will he stand with reformers like Roy and Luna, or will he protect the corrupt system that enriches his colleagues? The American people are watching closely.
This bill represents the kind of swamp-draining action that conservatives have been fighting for since Trump first ran for president. Roy and his allies are proving that real conservatives will take on the establishment, even when it means challenging their own colleagues in Congress.
