The Kelly Standard... has he got a hope in hell of seeing it passed?

[butters]

The Arizona Democrat, who faces re-election this year and is among the most vulnerable Senate incumbents, hopes to encourage other lawmakers to adopt what his office is calling the "Kelly Standard:" placing all assets into a qualified blind trust, posting official schedules online, and refusing corporate PAC donations.

"I think I'm the only person in this building that does all three of those," said Kelly. "Members shouldn't be enriching themselves because of their service in the United States Congress, the public should know what we're doing while we're here, and we shouldn't be influenced by money from special interest groups."

Asked about the political upside of promoting ethics in Washington, Kelly brushed off the question. "I think if you were to explain this to folks, they would care about it, and they would recognize why this is important," he said. "But that's not the reason to do it. I mean, the reason to do it is it's the right thing to do."

If it's anything like Ossof's bill...it's DOA because no Republicans will cosponsor

At least Ossoff and Kelly can argue that they're trying. It would make no sense to replace them with more do-nothing Republicans.
