“That is why, in my first term, I am proposing an agenda to ban stock trading by members of Congress who have information which no other American has access to, to stop the revolving door that allows Washington politicians to cash in on their influence by becoming lobbyists, and to mandate jail time for politicians who break the public trust.”
“In Congress, my first bill will mandate jail time of at least a year for any current or former member of Congress caught stealing $10,000 in taxpayer funds, including not paying their taxes. No resignations to avoid accountability, no plea deals, no deferred judgment, and no special favors.”
“That’s why I’m running for Congress: to take that corruption head-on by passing term limits, mandating jail time for members of Congress who steal taxpayer funds, and banning congressional stock trading.”
“Taylor has made cleaning up corruption in Washington and holding politicians accountable a defining issue of her campaign.

“She is committed to cracking down on the corruption that has crippled Washington’s ability to lower costs, protect access to health care, and ensure our government works for the people — not for corporate lobbyists and billionaire donors. She has also pledged to support a ban on congressional stock trading.”

“In my first term, I will propose legislation to enact 12-year term limits in the House. I will also follow that limit myself, whether or not a term limit bill passes. We need fewer career politicians, not more. If you can’t solve the problem in 12 years, give someone else a chance.”
