  • Cooper said he would back laws banning individual stock trading by members of Congress and senior officials and barring post-service lobbying.

    “that prohibits members of Congress and executive, high executive officials from trading individual stocks. I'll support a law that stops allowing people to be lobbyists after they serve in Congress”
