Is Congress up for an ethics overhaul?

A bipartisan House effort, involving Reps. Kat Cammack and Teresa Leger Fernández, aims to fundamentally change how sexual misconduct and other bad behavior are investigated in Congress. They have been working on legislation that plans to reform the Ethics Committee's functions and streamline complaint reporting processes for staffers. The proposals build on previous efforts like the 2018 law and seek support from figures such as Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
