Confronting Government Corruption
It’s time for Congress to restore transparency in Washington and return political power to the people.
I’ve introduced a bill to ban Members of Congress from trading and holding individual stocks, so we can rebuild Americans’ trust that our government is working for the people, not politicians’ financial gain.
And when we were heading towards an unnecessary and potentially devastating government shutdown that would have put hundreds of Arizonans’ paychecks on hold, I called on House leadership to advance federal government funding legislation and supported bipartisan legislation to avoid catastrophic default and raise the debt ceiling.

During the 116th Congress's first 100 days, Rep. Greg Stanton has focused on delivering results to Arizona families.
"Since day one, we put our heads down and got straight to work delivering results," said Stanton.

More than 150 years ago, on a war-torn battlefield outside a small town in Pennsylvania, President Abraham Lincoln reminded our nation of the enduring task of preserving our "government of the people, by the people, for the people."
That's a responsibility of our generation, too – and the truth is, we must do better.
Perhaps not since Lincoln's time have our politics been so divisive, so vile, so frustrating – and a real roadblock to making the progress we need.

Mr. Speaker,
