Haley Stevens introduces bill calling on all members of Congress to release their tax returns

Stevens’ “Release Your Taxes Act” would require all congressional lawmakers in both chambers — as well as candidates for Congress — to disclose their tax returns each year.

“There are already too many millionaires in Congress,” Stevens said in a statement. “Americans agree, and they deserve to know who they are voting for each election.”

Members and candidates who do not comply with disclosure requirements will have their names listed on the public database until they comply, or for six years after the date on which the individual is no longer a member or a candidate.

“I’m not a millionaire, and at a time when Michiganders are sick and tired of politicians running for office to get rich, we owe the public the transparency they deserve,” Stevens added. “This bill would make every Member of Congress and candidate to do the same.”
