Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna advocated for congressional stock-trading restrictions and term limits at a Clearwater news conference. Rep. Kathy Castor also voiced support for a stock-trading ban and called for extending it to the executive branch.
At a Clearwater news conference, DeSantis and Luna advocated for term limits and a prohibition on members of Congress trading individual stocks. DeSantis said he supported Luna’s bill on congressional insider trading and described a state-led effort to pursue a constitutional amendment for term limits. He also discussed efforts to require a balanced federal budget and to make laws apply equally to members of Congress.
After the news conference, Castor said she supported banning stock trading by members of Congress and wanted an enforceable, fair bill that also covered the executive branch. She criticized President Trump’s market actions and tariffs in explaining why she believed the proposal should go further.
