On the Record | Should Congress trade stocks? Where NC's politicians stand, and how much they trade

Half of North Carolina’s delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives owns stocks, and some are potentially making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on those trades, a review of public records shows.

This review comes as the US House of Representatives passes a bill that would ban the future purchasing of stocks, but there’s a lot more to this potential new law than a headline would tell you.

WRAL State government reporter Will Doran talks through where NC representatives stand and where this issue goes from here.
