2012
Scott ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent Georgia's 8th District. Scott sought re-election on the Republican ticket. The signature filing deadline was May 25, 2012, and the primary took place on July 31, 2012. Scott ran unopposed in the Republican primary. He also ran unopposed in the general election on November 6, 2012.
In 2011 redistricting, The Hill published a list of the Top Ten House Members who were helped by redistricting.[152] Scott ranked 5th on the list, and neighboring incumbent Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. ranked 4th on the list.[152] The article noted that in the redistricting process, controlled by a Republican legislature, many African Americans voters were moved from Scott's district into Bishop's 2nd Congressional District, giving Scott a safe Republican seat, and inadvertently giving Bishop a Democratic boost as well.[152]

Personal Gain Index

- 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
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Scott's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $739,758 and $3,211,724 . That averages to $1,975,741, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Scott ranked as the 149th most wealthy representative in 2012.[155] Between 2009 and 2012, Scott's calculated net worth[156] increased by an average of 2 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[157]
Austin Scott Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2009 | $1,841,289 |
2012 | $1,975,741 |
Growth from 2009 to 2012: | 7% |
Average annual growth: | 2%[158] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[159] |
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). Scott received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.
From 2009-2014, 25.83 percent of Scott's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[160]
