Nearly a dozen of the most vulnerable 2022 midterm candidates face scrutiny over stock trading law violations
Fox News
Dozens of members of Congress have flouted transparency rules around stock market trades, and some of them are in tight elections this November.
But several of the most vulnerable Democrats and Republicans in Congress have been accused of potentially violating the rules. Whether potential violations of the 2012 Stop Trading On Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act will have any effect on the midterm elections is unclear, but the violations give fuel to claims that politicians are corrupt. Thomas Phippen is an Editor at Fox News.
One candidate accused of violating the STOCK Act is Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz. — who's running in a closely watched race against GOP candidate Blake Masters that could determine which party controls the Senate — allegedly failed to disclose his exercising of stock options for a technology firm with ties to China within the time required in the STOCK Act.
