Independently re-verified. Rep. Joe Neguse actively LED efforts to ban congressional stock trading, going well beyond a single supporting vote. I directly confirmed the CBS News Colorado source, which quotes Neguse in his own words: 'For four years, I've led an effort to ban stock trading by Members of Congress, joined with colleagues on both sides of the aisle,' and reports he signed the discharge petition (introduced by GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna) to force a floor vote on the Restore/TRUST in Congress Act after Speaker Johnson refused to schedule one. Wikipedia independently corroborates that Neguse supports a prohibition on members of Congress trading stocks and headlined a May 2023 press conference backing the ban. These match the promise (sponsoring/leading the Ban Conflicted Trading Act and pushing a floor vote on the TRUST in Congress Act). The ban has not been enacted into law, so the correct label is CHAMPIONED (led the effort), not FULL. Nonpartisan check: a Republican with an identical record — leading a bill, publicly championing it for years, and signing a discharge petition, but not getting it enacted — would earn the same CHAMPIONED label (e.g., Luna, R, who led the discharge petition). Confidence trimmed from 0.95 to 0.90 only because congress.gov/govtrack and two of the originally-cited pages returned 403 to my fetcher, so I could not re-confirm the exact 'lead sponsor of the Ban Conflicted Trading Act' designation via a primary bill record; the leadership of the broader effort is nonetheless documented in Neguse's own on-record words.
