    Hello,

    I support the proposal to add congressional control markets. Such markets are in the public interest. They will allow traders to hedge and provide additional information on the odds of who controls Congress. This information is vital to many fields concerned about government policy, including healthcare, universities, energy companies, unions, etc. It is unfortunate the CFTC set a deadline to meet a conclusion on the last proposal 267 days ago and has still not responded. These markets should be approved promptly as they serve the public interest and do not constitute gaming.

    Thanks,
    Reed
