Bipartisan Legislators Want More People to Shop Secondhand

Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D., Calif.) and Nicole Malliotakis (R., N.Y.) are set to launch a new caucus on Wednesday aiming to promote the re-commerce economy, looking in part to help platforms like eBay, Etsy and Depop where consumers can buy and sell pre-owned items—often at hefty discounts. Among the U.S. representatives joining the caucus are Kevin Mullin (D., Calif.), Hillary Scholten (D., Mich.) and Brittany Pettersen (D., Colo.).
