At the very least, people running for office should have to state their net worth at election & then provide FULL TRANSPARENCY on all gains while in office.

I’ve always believed legislators should not be allowed to own individual stocks while in office. Move all to a general mutual fund & leave it there until you’re out of office. Of course, they may still benefit family members with their in-office activities. Hard to do something about that.

So your first proposal doesn’t really solve the problem as you state later.

Is there a better solution?
