GOP Lawmaker to Force Vote on Stock Trading Ban

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) “will attempt to force a House vote on a congressional stock trading ban in September, creating a new headache for Speaker Mike Johnson when members return to Washington from their summer recess,” Politico reports.

“The Florida lawmaker said Tuesday she plans to file a discharge petition at that time seeking a floor vote on legislation written by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) that would end members’ ability to trade individual securities.”
