Full history


Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Rooney's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Keeping America Safe - National Security Policy: Tom and his wife were stationed, along with their newborn son, at Fort Hood on 9/11. The opportunity to continue serving his country and to do all he could to prevent another attack was his primary motivation in running for Congress, and it guides his decision-making every day. Tom's top priority in Congress is and will remain keeping America safe.
  • Protecting the Second Amendment: The right to keep and bear arms is a sacred, individual right enshrined in our Constitution and Tom has always been a champion for Second Amendment rights. He proudly has an "A" rating from the National Rifle Association. In early January the Obama administration released a series of executive actions aimed at reducing gun violence in this country. None of the president’s actions would have prevented any of the horrific shootings the United States has seen in recent memory. Instead, his plan would take away one of our most sacred rights from law abiding citizens. Tom remains committed to ensuring that the administration not infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens.
  • Fighting for Florida’s farmers: Florida’s 17th Congressional District is one of the largest agriculture districts in the country. Since Tom was elected to Congress, he has worked tirelessly to champion agriculture and has traveled the state meeting with farmers and ranchers to learn how they would like to be represented in Washington. Tom continues to fight heavy-handed regulation and government overreach onto the farm, while working to make the federal government a better partner to Florida’s farmers and ranchers.
  • Keeping Guantanamo Bay open: Tom has always been outspoken about the importance of keeping Guantanamo Bay detention facility open. President Obama has made his intention to close the facility clear before he leaves office next year. Tom has voted in support of multiple bills, which have been signed into law by the president, which would prevent the closing of the facility and explicitly prohibit the transfer of its detainees to U.S. soil. Tom believes it is the job of the President of the United States to uphold our laws – not to blatantly disregard.
  • Putting an end to Obamacare: Tom supports patient-centered reforms to reduce healthcare costs and expand access to quality care. He strongly opposes the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, and has voted over 60 times to repeal the law. Tom supports efforts to repeal the law and replace it with legislation that would bring down costs and expand health care coverage, like instituting medical liability reform. He is hopeful that next Congress with a different president that Obamacare can be removed and meaningful healthcare reforms can be implemented.

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, Rooney's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $41,385,465 and $87,244,445. That averages to $64,314,955, which is higher than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Rooney ranked as the 9th most wealthy representative in 2012.[122] Between 2007 and 2012, Rooney's calculated net worth[123] percentage increase was not meaningful as the initial average net worth (-$37,097) was less than or equal to zero. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[124]

Thomas Rooney Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2007$−37,097
2012$64,314,955
Growth from 2007 to 2012:N/A
Average annual growth:N/A
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). Rooney received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry.

From 2007-2014, 23.57 percent of Rooney's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[126]
