Very strongly agree

No, and their investments should be held in a blind trust

This answer aligns well with progressive values, as it prevents potential conflicts of interest and insider trading by prohibiting members of Congress from trading stocks and requiring their investments to be held in a blind trust. This approach has been advocated by progressive lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren, who introduced the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act, which includes similar provisions.

No, and do more to prevent insider trading by their friends and family

Progressives would generally agree with this answer, as it addresses both the issue of insider trading by members of Congress and extends the protections to their friends and family. This approach aligns with progressive values of increased regulation and transparency to prevent corruption and conflicts of interest. However, some may argue that this answer does not go far enough, as it does not mention additional measures such as blind trusts or real-time reporting.
