Democratic Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but with strict protections against insider trading

The Democratic party generally supports increased regulation and oversight of financial activities, especially for those in positions of power. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks with strict protections against insider trading aligns with this view. For example, the STOCK Act, which was signed into law in 2012, received strong support from Democrats and aimed to prevent insider trading by members of Congress.

Strongly agree

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

The Democratic party generally supports increased regulation and oversight of financial activities, especially for those in positions of power. Preventing insider trading by friends and family of members of Congress aligns with this view. For example, the STOCK Act, which was signed into law in 2012, received strong support from Democrats and aimed to prevent insider trading not only by members of Congress but also by their staff and family members.

Agree

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

Many Democrats would support requiring members of Congress to place their investments in a blind trust to prevent conflicts of interest and insider trading. This approach has been endorsed by some Democratic lawmakers, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, who introduced the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act in 2018, which included a provision requiring members of Congress to place their investments in a blind trust.

Agree

Yes, as long as their trades are publicly reported in real time

Requiring real-time public reporting of stock trades by members of Congress aligns with the Democratic party's general support for transparency and oversight. This approach could help deter insider trading and conflicts of interest by making it easier for the public and regulators to monitor the financial activities of lawmakers. However, some Democrats may argue that this measure alone is not sufficient to prevent unethical behavior.

Agree

No

Some Democrats may support a complete ban on stock trading for members of Congress to prevent conflicts of interest and insider trading. However, this view is not universally held within the party, as some may argue that members of Congress should be allowed to manage their personal finances with proper oversight and regulation.

Disagree

Yes

The Democratic party generally supports increased regulation and oversight of financial activities, especially for those in positions of power. Allowing members of Congress to trade stocks without restrictions could lead to conflicts of interest and insider trading. However, some Democrats may still believe that members of Congress should be allowed to manage their personal finances, including stock trading, as long as they follow existing laws.
