Cassidy Joins Trump’s Call to End Insider Trading in Congress

Baton Rouge, LA - In case you missed it, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) introduced the Stop Insider Trading Act to ban Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from buying publicly traded stocks.

While Senator Cassidy is leading the fight to stop members of Congress from profiting off the job the people of Louisiana voted him to do, Liberal Julia Letlow is still facing questions over her own stock trades and troubling conflicts tied to her position in Congress. Louisiana voters deserve a conservative senator, like Dr. Cassidy, who puts service ahead of their own pocket book. NOT Nancy Pelosi of the Pelican State. 

Yeah, we are talking about you, Liberal Letlow.

Background:

• Newly disclosed financial records show Congresswoman Julia Letlow purchased stock in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals ($REGN), raising concerns about a potential conflict of interest tied to the committees she sits on in Congress.

• A new NOTUS report shows she's become a millionaire since being in Congress, largely due to her Nancy Pelosi-style stock trading prowess. 

• Letlow entered the race for U.S. Senate on January 20th and her hundreds of illegal stock trade violations have raised serious questions about transparency and accountability

• New disclosures show Julia Letlow made more brazen stock trades in the month AFTER she got into the race for the U.S. Senate, showing just how out of touch she is with the people of Louisiana. 

• Frustration has fueled calls for reform, including renewed momentum behind legislation that would ban lawmakers and their families from buying and selling individual stocks while serving in Congress - an issue  highlighted during President Donald J. Trump's State of the Union address

• The Advocate reported, "Letlow traded stocks in companies within two or three days of her congressional committees holding hearings on topics that touched upon business activities involving those companies.".
