Medical marijuana
Wasserman Schultz's office allegedly offered to alter her stance on medical marijuana if lawyer John Morgan, one of medical marijuana's chief supporters, would cease attacking her. Morgan responded to this offer by stating, "No, she is a bully. I beat bullies up for a living." Morgan then said that he forwarded the email exchange to Politico to demonstrate how transactional it was in nature.[146]
Following this exchange, Wasserman Schultz denied the claim that she offered to change her position in exchange for a cease-fire. She said, "I wouldn't change my position in exchange for support under any circumstances — ever. I'm always very proud to stand in front of my constituents and explain when I have a difference of opinion with them."[147]
Complaint against Debbie Wasserman Schultz
On July 25, 2016, Tim Canova, Wasserman Schultz's Democratic primary challenger. said he would file a complaint with the FEC against Wasserman Schultz. Canova argues that leaked DNC emails indicated that Wasserman Schultz had used DNC resources to further her Congressional campaign against Canova. He stated, "The Wikileaks emails indicate that Debbie Wasserman Schultz used DNC resources to assist her reelection campaign in violation of federal law. According to the emails, top DNC officials used party resources to monitor, respond to, and impede my campaign on numerous occasions."[148][149] Sanders had endorsed Canova in May, whose campaign platform was similar to the presidential candidate's own platform.[149]
Tim Canova's primary campaign against Wasserman Schultz

In May 2016, then Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders had announced his endorsement of Democratic Congressional candidate Tim Canova, a "previously little-known law professor."[150] Canova ran against Wasserman Schultz in the Democratic primary on August 30, 2016, in Florida's 23rd Congressional District.[151] Sanders, since May, had continued to help Canova's campaign along with others from Sanders' former presidential campaign.[150]
During the 2015 and early 2016 Democratic primary debates, Sanders had criticized Wasserman Schultz's chosen debate schedule and the DNC's joint fundraising committee for Sanders' primary challenger Hillary Clinton, which created tensions between Sanders and Wasserman Schultz.[152][153] Those tensions peaked on July 22, 2016, prior to the start of the Democratic National Convention. The website Wikileaks released just over 19,000 leaked DNC emails. The emails, which consisted of correspondence between former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and other DNC officials, revealed, according to The Washington Post, that Wasserman Schultz and the DNC "tried to aid [Hillary] Clinton and hamper [Bernie] Sanders."[154] In response to the emails, Sanders called for Wasserman Schultz's resignation as chair of the DNC.[155] However, since her resignation and Sanders informal withdrawal from the presidential race, the two had been focussed on the Democratic Congressional race in Florida's 23rd Congressional District, in which Sanders and his presidential campaign allies—Tad Devine, who has since withdrawn from the Canova's campaign, and Revolution Messaging—had helped Tim Canova against Wasserman Schultz.[150][156]

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, Wasserman Schultz's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between -$237,987 to $279,998 . That averages to $21,005.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Wasserman Schultz ranked as the 401st most wealthy representative in 2012.[163] Between 2004 and 2012, Wasserman Schultz's calculated net worth[164] decreased by an average of 11 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[165]
Debbie Wasserman Schultz Yearly Net Worth | |

Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $235,798 |
2012 | $21,005.50 |

Average annual growth: | −11%[166] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[167] |
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). Wasserman Schultz received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.
