Today's email is about public officials trading stock. Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your members of Congress share with friends.
https://www.congress.gov/contact-usDear Senator / Representative:
Insider trading is a federal crime with penalties of 20-25 years in federal prison per count and fines in the millions.
News reports suggest that President Trump acted on the non-public information that the federal government was going to take actions benefiting Eli Lily’s GLP-1 business. How? Because he made seven stock purchases totaling up to $680,000 in Q1 2026. In January, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed a pilot program for Medicare and Medicaid which would reduce the price of GLP-1 drugs to $50 a month. Lily was picked for the pilot.
This is the latest example of elected officials trading suspiciously close to non-public government decisions. It’s past time to prohibit any stock trades by any elected or appointed federal official – including judges – and their immediate family (spouse, children of any age) while they are in office.
I want you to champion the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act and extend control to both elected and appointed officials and their immediate families in all three branches of government. Officials must place any stocks held when taking a government position in a qualified blind trust. Failure to comply is a felony, not a $200 fine.
