Members of Congress, Cabinet officials and federal judges vote on, regulate, and get briefed about the same companies they hold stock in. The ask is four specific changes: no trading individual stocks while in office; investments held in blind trusts run by independent trustees; the same rules for spouses and dependent children; and real-time public reporting of transactions and conflicts. Both parties have members who trade and both have declined to act, so a campaign can answer this — even by committing to just one of the four — without picking a side.
