Public service is a public trust. Members of Congress should not profit from their positions or trade on info we may receive as part of our official duties. That's why I signed a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on a stock trading ban and help restore confidence in our government.

You should never have to choose between putting food on your table, covering your rent, and paying your health insurance premium. But for more than 20 million Americans, that already difficult decision will become even harder if Affordable Care Act subsidies are allowed to expire.
