Democrats who have supported efforts to ban stock trading by members of Congress are frustrated by a new Republican-led bill that they say comes up short. But at least one has already signed on to support it.
“If the choice in front of us is either do nothing or do something to rein in the corruption around here, then I’m willing to work with anybody to make progress,” Rep. Josh Riley said.
Riley, who represents a swing district in New York, said while he’s also backing legislation “that goes a lot farther,” he won’t let the “perfect be the enemy of the good.”
