—Cheri Bustos' campaign website, http://www.cheribustos.com/meet-cheri |
2012
On her campaign website Bustos listed ten issues that she was concerned about. They included:[160]
- Affordable Healthcare: Excerpt: "The new reform law is not perfect, but makes real improvements in our health care system. It lowers costs for small businesses and makes sure you have coverage that cannot be taken away. It stops insurance companies from denying coverage of pre-existing conditions and allows children to stay on their parents’ health insurance for longer. I will oppose any attempts to repeal these needed reforms. Instead, we should fix what does not work and pass further improvements that focus on lowering costs, while preserving patient choice and quality."
- Agriculture/ Rural Development: Excerpt: "We need to sustain and enhance our agricultural economy and take advantage of our natural resources as tools of economic competitiveness and growth. Soil, wind, sunshine and water are in abundant supply in our region. We can make them the foundation of development opportunities for ethanol, biodiesel, hydroelectric power and solar and wind energy. My vision to strengthen our agricultural economy, rural areas and small towns is anchored by economic growth and sustainability."
- Education: Excerpt: "In Congress, I will work hard to support our public schools and expand educational opportunities for lifelong learning. It is an outrage that the average college graduate enters the workforce with more than $25,000 in student loan debts. If education is the priority we say it is, then we need to back it up by protecting grant programs and working to reduce student loan costs."
- Energy and the Environment: Excerpt: "Affordable and reliable energy is critical to our economy as well as our quality of life. Unfortunately our politicians in Springfield and Washington have embraced policies that increase the cost of energy on small business and consumers as well as continue our dependency on foreign oil."
- Jobs and the Economy: Excerpt: "In addition to strong and growing businesses, we need strong and healthy labor organizations. I believe without labor unions we would not have a middle class – and today both are shrinking. We must turn that around. That’s why have released a jobs plan and announced my campaign with a proposal to create a “Manufacturing Triangle” to focus our area on innovation and rebuilding our manufacturing base."
- Medicare and Social Security: Excerpt: "To ensure Medicare’s long-term financial stability, we should implement common sense reforms to lower costs, like electronic medical records and better coordination of services. We should also use Medicare’s negotiating power to get better prices, including for prescription drugs. And we must do a better job of eliminating fraud and abuse to help lower costs and preserve Medicare for generations to come. I also strongly oppose any attempt to privatize Social Security or cut benefits. Social Security is a critically important element of retirement and I will fight to protect it."
- Protecting Taxpayers & Reducing the Deficit: Excerpt: "We can start by implementing the recommendations of a nonpartisan Government Accountability Office report issued earlier this year that found widespread waste and inefficiency in federal programs. For example, the federal government has 47 job training programs, 44 of which overlap. Simply consolidating programs that overlap can save tens of billions of dollars while not impacting program quality. We should insist that Washington get more efficient and smarter, while making sure we protect the middle class and working families from higher taxes."
- Reforming Government: Excerpt: "Part of the problem – whether it’s Washington or Springfield – is that our politicians have become so detached from the rest of us and our daily lives, that they don’t feel the same sense of urgency to solve the problems we face. That needs to change. I believe we need more everyday people in public service – people who are raising families on two incomes, who cut coupons and have to balance their checkbooks. I also support more transparency in government and additional accountability measures to ensure that our tax dollars are not wasted nor used to help pad the pockets of special interests in Washington. To borrow from one of Illinois’ best, I believe it’s time that we got back to a government of the people, by the people, for the people."
- Veterans and Our Armed Forces: Excerpt: "We should fully fund veterans’ health care benefits and make full funding mandatory by law. Anything less is a disgrace. We must also provide state-of-the-art care for traumatic brain injuries and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If any veteran has difficulties navigating the Veterans Administration system for care or getting their needed benefits, I will work doggedly to cut through the red-tape and get them the benefits they have earned. In addition, I support providing our service members with help returning to the workforce, financial planning, as well as job training and college opportunities."
- Women's Issues: Excerpt: "I support a woman’s right to choose and will work to ensure that this remains a decision made by women, not the government. I believe a woman’s reproductive health is critically important and support access to family planning and reproductive freedom. In addition, I believe we should expand efforts to use stem cell research to find cures for diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s."

Personal Gain Index

- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Bustos' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $191,025 and $965,999. That averages to $578,512, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Bustos ranked as the 255th most wealthy representative in 2012.[163] Between 2011 and 2012, Bustos' calculated net worth[164] decreased by an average of 84 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[165]
Cheri Bustos Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2011 | $3,722,996 |
2012 | $578,512 |
Growth from 2011 to 2012: | −84% |
Average annual growth: | −84%[166] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[167] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Bustos received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Leadership PACs industry.
From 2011-2014, 27.08 percent of Bustos' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[168]
