A Democrat congresswoman is rising up against her party’s leaders and revolting against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) over a “failure of House leadership.”
Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) fired back after Pelosi refused to call up legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress and their families.
Spanberger said issued a fiery statement calling for Pelosi’s removal as House speaker and declaring that “the Democratic Party needs new leaders.”
“Our job as elected officials is to serve the people — not ourselves,” Spanberger said.
“That’s why I’ve been proud to lead the charge on legislation to ban Members of Congress and their immediate families from trading individual stocks — not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because the Virginians I represent overwhelmingly support it and want us to get it done.
