ICYMI: Ager’s Democrat Party Blocks Bill to Ban Congressional Stock Trading

October 1, 2026

This week, Jamie Ager’s Democrat Party blocked the Stop Insider Trading Act, protecting politicians who get rich trading stocks on information the public never sees.

While House Republicans passed a ban on members of Congress, their spouses, and their kids buying individual stocks, Ager’s party fought to keep Washington’s insider trading racket open for business. Western North Carolina families deserve representatives who work for them, not their stock portfolios.

“Washington Democrats had a chance to stop members of Congress from getting rich off insider information, and they said no. House Republicans are fighting to clean it up. Ager’s party is fighting to keep the scam going.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
