One state is pushing for greater accountability in campaign finance. Officials are eyeing a proposal that would mandate congressional hopefuls to disclose their personal stock trading activities. The move reflects growing concerns about potential conflicts of interest when lawmakers hold individual equity positions. Transparency around trading patterns could help voters assess whether candidates' policy decisions might be influenced by personal financial stakes. This type of disclosure requirement aligns with broader push for institutional accountability in financial markets.

This is the correct way to open up. Let's be transparent about the matter of lawmakers trading stocks, so no one can secretly harvest profits again.

Here we go again with this? Public disclosure of lawmakers' stock trades... Basically, they're just afraid they'll manipulate stocks and cut the leeks themselves.
