Campaign themes

2018

Campaign website

Rothfus’ campaign website stated the following:


Inalienable and Constitutional Rights

Our Declaration of Independence recognizes inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and our Constitution protects these and other rights. Keith is working to build a culture of life, and agrees with most Americans that late term abortion is simply not acceptable. The United States is one of only seven countries in the world, including China, North Korea and Vietnam, to allow elective abortion after 20 weeks, an age at which babies can feel pain. The House passed, with Keith’s support, legislation to stop this. Keith also opposes taxpayer funding of abortion, and protecting our the rights enshrined in our Bill of Rights, including Freedom of Religion, the Press, Speech, Assembly, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to an attorney and trial by jury.

Immigration and Border Security

Keith opposes ‘sanctuary cities,’ and is cosponsoring the Securing America’s Future Act to secure the border once and for all. For Keith, securing the border is not just about stopping illegal immigration, it is also about blocking the flow of illegal drugs and protecting the U.S. from terrorists.

Supporting our Veterans and Accountability in Washington

Supporting Our Vets

Keith led the charge against bonuses for corrupt VA officials and supported reforms to make the VA accountable for the benefits and care veterans earned and deserved. Keith also voted for the VA reform bill that will allow veterans to seek private care if they are unable to receive timely treatment from the VA.

Accountability in Washington

Keith challenges the high level of spending of both parties, and stood up to his own party’s leaders in opposing budget-busting spending bills that limit our children’s future. When party leaders told him to vote for a 2,200 page, $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill, with only 18 hours to review it, he said no.

Medicare, Health Care and the Opioid Epidemic

Medicare and Health Care

Keith’s bipartisan law restored to seniors their right to change Medicare Advantage plans during the year, a right Obamacare had taken away. Keith also supported passage of the 21st Century Cures Act because he knows the importance of finding cures for Alzheimer’s, cancer and other diseases, and he voted for the Right to Try Act, to give terminally ill patients another chance at life.

Opioid Epidemic

Keith is active with the House’s Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, has advocated for increased funding for treatment programs and passed legislation promoting naloxone, the life-saving overdose antidote.

Jobs, the Economy and Trade

Jobs and the Economy

Keith’s vote for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and financial reforms are producing more jobs, higher wages and more money in the pockets of hardworking taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act treats American businesses more favorably than businesses in China, Mexico and many other countries, resulting in more jobs, better pay and lower utility bills.

Trade

Keith stood up against President Obama, John Boehner and Paul Ryan on Trade Promotion Authority and TPP because the proposals did not put Western Pennsylvania First. Keith believes our trade policies should promote America’s interests and hold violators accountable.[10]

Campaign advertisements

The following is an example of an ad from Rothfus' 2018 election campaign.

"Indivisible" - Rothfus campaign ad, released October 29, 2018

2016

  • Supporting Our Veterans: Our veterans never failed us, and they deserve a VA system that will not fail them. After the Legionnaires outbreak at the Pittsburgh VA, I proposed reforms to hold senior executives accountable for their mismanagement. The House passed my amendment to stop bonuses from going to the VA’s senior executives because those funds should go towards treatment for veterans. I also voted for the VA reform bill that will allow veterans to seek private care if they are unable to receive timely treatment from the VA. I will continue to work with veterans and employees at the VA to improve service and ensure our veterans receive the treatment they have earned through their service to our country.
  • Accountability in Washington: Congress and Washington D.C. bureaucrats are out-of-control and out-of-touch. Too many have forgotten the basic meaning of the words “public servant.” I introduced the Congressional Pay for Performance Act, which will require Congress to pass budget and appropriation bills on time or else members of Congress will not get paid. I support term limits and I refused to take the unauthorized healthcare subsidies for members of Congress granted by the Obama Administration.
  • Social Security & Medicare: We need to keep the Social Security and Medicare promises made to our parents’ generation while preserving and protecting both programs for our children and grandchildren. Seniors paid into Social Security and Medicare, and they deserve to receive the financial security and support they earned through a lifetime of hard work.
  • Healthcare: I support repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with legislation that gives individuals more affordable healthcare choices and greater control over their coverage. As a cancer survivor, I understand the importance of choosing your own doctor and having the coverage you need for your treatment. President Obama made a lot of promises while trying to sell his healthcare plan. Most of them have not been kept. “If you like your plan, you can keep it,” “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” and “reducing premiums by $2,500 per family” to name a few.
  • Jobs & Economic Growth: A growing economy will provide Pennsylvanians with more jobs and higher wages, which will enable us to create a brighter future for our children. Unfortunately, we are living through the results of a failed approach in Washington. The economy is bumping along the bottom. Too many Americans still cannot find a job. Food, energy, and healthcare all cost more. The House has passed over forty bills to help create jobs and stimulate economic growth, but Senator Reid is refusing to allow any of them on the Senate floor for a vote. We can do better. Washington can unleash the economic potential of hardworking Americans. We can boom again.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rules on class action lawsuits, arbitration agreements
September 11, 2017: In 2017, House Republicans voted to revoke a regulation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that prohibited banks from requiring customers to engage in arbitration. Rep. Keith Rothfus (R-Pa.) claimed, "According to the CFPB’s own study, the average recovery for members of a class action lawsuit is a paltry $32, contrasted with the average $5,389 recovery for consumers who use arbitration."

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, Rothfus' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $4,603,055 to $9,772,000. That averages to $7,187,527.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Rothfus ranked as the 53rd most wealthy representative in 2012.[116] Between 2011 and 2012, Rothfus' calculated net worth[117] decreased by an average of 30 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[118]

Keith Rothfus Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2011$10,210,454
2012$7,187,527
Growth from 2011 to 2012:−30%
Average annual growth:−30%[119]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[120]

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). Rothfus received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Republican/Conservative industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[121]

From 2009-2014, 29.71 percent of Rothfus' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[122]
