Ask a Pol asks:

Congrats on passing your stablecoin bill. So now all attention goes to passing a market structure for other digital assets?

Key Gillibrand:

“We’ll be focused on reconciliation, and then after reconciliation I will start working with my bipartisan colleagues on our version of what we’d like to see,” Gillibrand exclusively tells Ask a Pol.

Caught our ear:

“We would love to have an up or down vote on an ethics bill, which I will work on separately,” Gillibrand tells us. “I’m gonna try to work with [Sen.] Josh Hawley (R-MO) and other people who are interested on this.”
