Will Rob Bresnahan Pledge Not to Trade Stocks During the Government Shutdown?

Congressman Rob Bresnahan campaigned on a pledge to ban congressional stock trading. 

Instead, Bresnahan has made more than 600 stock trades since coming to Congress.

When asked why he simply won’t stop trading, he whined that he would “lose money and go broke.”

So here’s a question for Bresnahan: Yes or no, will you commit to not trading stocks during the government shutdown? 

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Congressman Rob Bresnahan is famously not great at keeping a promise. So here’s a softball for the congressman: will you promise not to trade stocks during a government shutdown? We won’t hold our breath.”
