Tell Congress: public officials must prioritize the public interest,
not their own profits.

You trusted them to work for you.

But right now, some public officials could use their insider knowledge — about legislation, national security, and government policy — to place bets on prediction markets.

When an official can profit from the very decisions they make, they stop working for you and start working for their own bottom line. That's not public service. That’s corruption.

At the Project On Government Oversight, we’re fighting to change that — and we need your voice.

We’re demanding that Congress pass comprehensive legislation banning government officials — and their spouses and dependents — from trading in prediction markets, and establish enforceable ethics guidance.

The White House has so far made toothless gestures, but what we need are strong legal guardrails with real consequences. And right now, you can help make that happen.

Tell Congress: public officials must prioritize the public interest, not their own profits.

Add your name

Public trust is already low. Every day Congress fails to act, officials can keep lining their pockets while you foot the bill.

Make your officials work for you again.
