I applaud the bipartisan efforts of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to create legislation that would ban elected officials from becoming lobbyists for life.

I pray they make good on their commitment to crack down on corruption and close the revolving door between Congress and lucrative lobbying jobs.

Itโ€™s about time that our representatives worked across the aisle for meaningful change!
