Spanberger, a vocal proponent of a congressional stock trading ban, is asking for a hearing on it.
The Committee on House Administration previously held a hearing on the topic in April 2022.
But lawmakers never voted on stock trade ban legislation after a vote was abruptly pulled in September.

Aiming to "continue the momentum" of last year's push to ban members of Congress from trading stocks, Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia is asking the Committee on House Administration to hold a new hearing on the topic.
