Issues

The Affordable Care Act

During a hearing on December 9, 2014, members of Congress questioned Jonathan Gruber's involvement with the Affordable Care Act. Lummis shared the story of her husband's death and the "real-life consequences" of Obamacare.[115]

"On October 24, the week before election, my husband went to sleep and never woke up. He had a massive heart attack in his sleep at age 65. A perfectly, by all accounts, healthy man. Come to find out, in a conversation with his physician after he died, he chose not to have one of the tests, the last tests, his doctor told him to have. This happened to coincide with the time that we were told that we were not covered by Obamacare. I'm not telling you that my husband died because of Obamacare. He died because he had a massive heart attack in his sleep. ...I want to suggest that regardless of what happened to me personally, that there have been so many glitches in the passage and implementation of Obamacare that have real-life consequences on peoples' lives. The so-called glibness that has been referenced today has direct consequences for real American people. So get over your damn glibness," Lummis said.[115]

Personal Gain Index

Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
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

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives
Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Lummis' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $5,332,023 to $23,487,999. That averages to $14,410,011, which is higher than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Lummis ranked as the 39th most wealthy representative in 2012.[121] Between 2007 and 2012, Lummis' calculated net worth[122] decreased by an average of 15 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[123]

Cynthia Lummis Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2007$53,624,003
2012$14,410,011
Growth from 2007 to 2012:−73%
Average annual growth:−15%[124]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[125]

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

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

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). Lummis received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Oil & Gas industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Wyoming's At-large Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[126]

From 2007-2014, 33.5 percent of Lummis' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[127]
