The following were found on Heitkamp's 2018 campaign website.

“

Working families
As a working mother, Heidi knows the challenges working families face.

Through her work in the Senate, Heidi has reached across the aisle to build momentum for policies that will help North Dakota’s workers and families succeed. That’s why she supports commonsense policies like the FAMILY Act, which would benefit North Dakota families, seniors, and small businesses by providing workers with paid family leave at the cost of about a cup of coffee per week. Heidi knows that a family includes folks of all ages and that’s why she’s spent her career working for seniors and ensuring they are able to live and retire with the dignity they deserve. When North Dakota seniors were at risk of losing the pensions they worked their entire lives to earn, Heidi stepped up, fighting on their behalf to eliminate the devastating cuts. Heidi has also spent her time in the Senate making sure that Social Security and Medicare are never on the chopping block.

Healthcare
Since day one, Heidi has been working across the aisle on solutions both sides can agree on to bring down health care premiums and costs and to improve access for North Dakota families, seniors, and veterans – no matter where they live.

Heidi understands that as with any sweeping legislation, the Affordable Care Act has its problems – that’s why she’s introduced several practical legislative fixes to the ACA and help improve care, and reduce costs for North Dakota families.

Heidi has fought back against the harmful Health Insurance Tax and worked with both sides against mandates that would hurt North Dakotans and small businesses. In addition to pushing toward commonsense reforms, Heidi has opposed – and will continue to oppose – any bill that would kick North Dakotans off their insurance plans and raise premiums.

"A Strong Economy'
Heidi believes that North Dakotans who work hard should be able to get ahead and support their families. But too often, policies from Washington tilt the scales toward special interests rather than small businesses, entrepreneurs and middle-class North Dakotans.

As a member of Senate committees on both small business and banking, Heidi worked on behalf of small businesses and our Main Street-shops, pushing to make them more competitive with large, out-of-state online retailers. She’s fighting to grow start-ups in North Dakota and rural America – not just in big cities and on America’s coasts. Heidi knows that regulatory burdens and red tape are the number one complaint of small business owners, which is why she worked with her Republican colleagues to negotiate a regulatory relief package that would protect consumers while boosting economic growth in rural America.

As the former North Dakota Attorney General, Heidi has spent her entire career working hard to protect consumers from predatory behavior, and in the Senate, she stood up to Wells Fargo and Equifax to hold them accountable for ripping off middle-class families.

As the state’s former Tax Commissioner, Heidi strongly supports permanently reforming the nation’s tax code to benefit middle-class families – not just millionaires or special interests. As the ranking member on the Senate subcommittee overseeing regulatory affairs, she has worked across the aisle to cut red tape in an effort to make government more efficient, because Heidi knows that regulations are not one-size-fits-all and shouldn’t disproportionately impact North Dakota farmers or small businesses. Heidi will keep working with both Republicans and Democrats to help small businesses thrive, support farmers and ranchers and grow North Dakota’s energy economy.

Agriculture
Heidi knows that agriculture is the backbone of North Dakota’s economy.

As a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Heidi worked across the aisle to write, negotiate, and help pass a Farm Bill with a strong crop insurance program and farm safety net. And when North Dakota farmers were hurt by burdensome regulations from Washington, Heidi had their backs and stood up to both the EPA and her own party.

With low commodity prices and a devastating drought, Heidi successfully fought to ensure that North Dakota farmers and ranchers were eligible for federal relief programs and pushed for expanded staffing at Farm Service Agency offices As Congress begins writing the 2018 Farm Bill, Heidi will make sure North Dakota farmers and ranchers have a prime seat at the negotiating table.

Energy
 North Dakota is a national model for an all-of-the-above energy strategy and Heidi has been a champion of North Dakota’s abundant natural energy resources.

By working across the aisle, Heidi successfully negotiated and helped pass historic legislation that eliminated the nation’s 40-year ban on crude oil exports, boosting oil exports across the country. Now, Heidi is fighting to pave a viable path forward for coal through commonsense solutions both sides can agree on. Just as she brought 10 Democratic senators on board to push for the Keystone XL pipeline’s construction, Heidi is continuing to reach across the aisle, fighting for federal tax incentives that will bolster wind and alternative energy production. She will keep working to keep North Dakota on the cutting edge of diverse energy production that will grow our state’s energy economy, protect our national security, and help to make America energy independent.

Seniors
Heidi believes that anybody who works hard and plays by the rules should be able to count on the dignity of a secure retirement, plain and simple.

That’s why she is a fierce defender of Social Security and Medicare programs that hundreds of thousands of seniors here in North Dakota depend on. And it’s why she has, and will continue to, fight hard against any cuts to these important lifelines.

National Defense & Veterans
Heidi deeply respects and admires the service members and veterans, both past and present, who fought and sacrificed to keep our country safe. That’s why she’s worked to boost resources and access to the programs and services our veterans rely on.

Heidi secured funding to successfully bring a Vet Health Care Center to Grand Forks, held the VA accountable for chronic issues impacting veterans care, and pushed for initiatives that will keep North Dakota veterans more connected to the job and health care resources they deserve.

Heidi has been a tireless advocate for North Dakota’s two military bases in Minot and Grand Forks and their communities. Whether it is defending the nuclear mission in Minot Air Force Base, or supporting federal resources for the Arctic mission from Grand Forks Air Force base, she knows that these bases are critical for both our state and our national defense strategy. As a member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Heidi partnered with her Republican colleagues to pass her bill, now law, to help keep North Dakota’s Northern Border secure, and she’ll keep working across the aisle to keep our nation’s borders and ports of entry safe.

Safer Communities
Heidi knows what makes North Dakota a special place to call home but that we face growing challenges. By gathering voices from across the state through her Strong & Safe Communities Initiative, she heard the concerns and ideas from dozens of leaders and community members across the state on how best to face new and emerging challenges facing North Dakota – from crude oil train derailments to human and drug trafficking-related crimes. Their words helped guide her. Her RESPONSE Act was signed into law, to make sure first responders handling crude oil train emergencies have the training they need to keep our communities protected and return home safely to their families. Heidi pushed for landmark anti-human trafficking legislation to crack down on criminals and protect victims. And by working closely with law enforcement in North Dakota, health care experts and treatment specialists, Heidi is tackling the opioid and addiction epidemic head on, which has devastated too many North Dakota families. Heidi will keep fighting to keep our communities strong and safe.

Infrastructure
Raised in the small town of Mantador by a father who worked a range of jobs, from truck driver to seasonal construction worker, Heidi understands how much North Dakotans rely on safe roads to transport their families and to get to and from work safely — which is why we need a federal investment in our nation’s infrastructure.

After seeing firsthand how flooding can ravage North Dakota homes and communities, Heidi worked across the aisle to provide federal investments in flood protection projects. From strong rural water systems, to highway underpasses, to robust air and service programs that help keep rural towns and businesses connected, Heidi knows our state counts on safe and reliable infrastructure — that’s why she’ll keep pushing for a federal infrastructure bill that invests in states like North Dakota.

Native American Issues
A lifelong ally of Native communities, Heidi is committed to making sure Native children grow up with the opportunities and protection that every American child deserves.

As a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, the first bill Heidi introduced was signed into law. The bill created a commission – endorsed by all five North Dakota tribes – to help tackle the the comprehensive challenges Native young people face. As North Dakota Attorney General, Heidi helped implement the original Violence Against Women Act across the state, and as senator, supported strengthening legislation to better protect Native women. Heidi’s strong relationship with North Dakota, tribal and federal law enforcement and her understanding of complex jurisdictional issues has also contributed to her ability to work toward improving protections for Native women and children and to work to end the crisis of murdered and missing Native women.[4]

Political positions

Gay marriage

As of March 2013, Sen. Heitkamp stated that she believed gay marriage should be an issue resolved by the states and previously had not enunciated a position further than that.[105]

On April 5, 2013, Heitkamp emailed a statement to press outlets switching her position to one of endorsing same-sex marriage.[106] In the statement, she said, “In speaking with North Dakotans from every corner of our great state, and much personal reflection, I have concluded the federal government should no longer discriminate against people who want to make lifelong, loving commitments to each other or interfere in personal, private, and intimate relationships. I view the ability of anyone to marry as a logical extension of this belief. The makeup of families is changing, but the importance of family is enduring.”[106]

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, Heitkamp's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,971,074 to $5,094,000. That averages to $3,532,537, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senate members in 2012 of $13,566,333.90. Heitkamp ranked as the 39th most wealthy senator in 2012.[107] Between 2011 and 2012, Heitkamp's calculated net worth[108] decreased by an average of 6 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[109]

Heidi Heitkamp Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2011$3,748,037
2012$3,532,537
Growth from 2011 to 2012:−6%
Average annual growth:−6%[110]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[111]

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). Heitkamp received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.

From 2011-2014, 22.84 percent of Heitkamp's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[112]
