Luna files petition to force vote on congressional trading

U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has filed a discharge petition to force a House vote on bipartisan legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office. Luna said the move reflects broad public support for the reform and growing frustration with congressional delays, adding that “the people are more united than Washington is.” The petition would allow lawmakers from both parties to bypass internal roadblocks and bring the measure straight to the floor. Luna framed the effort as a step toward restoring trust in Congress, calling the issue “one of the most popular” reforms sought by voters.
