Personal Gain Index

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, Butterfield's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $-20,967 and $3,340,988. That averages to $1,660,010, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Butterfield ranked as the 165th most wealthy representative in 2012.[167] Between 2004 and 2012, Butterfield's calculated net worth[168] increased by an average of 4 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[169]
G.K. Butterfield Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $1,243,008 |
2012 | $1,660,010 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | 34% |
Average annual growth: | 4%[170] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[171] |
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). Butterfield received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.
From 2003-2014, 25.97 percent of Butterfield's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[172]
