Congress
Congressman Whitesides believes the purpose of government is to serve the American people. He is dedicated to championing integrity, transparency, and a deep commitment to improving the lives of his constituents. He believes members of Congress should be held to the highest ethical standards — which is why he’s leading the fight to ban insider stock trading, require members to divest from individual company holdings, and restore public trust in government.
