2014
McCarthy's campaign website listed the following issues:[164]
- Enhancing Competitiveness and Promoting Prosperity
- Excerpt: "To produce a business-friendly environment to create jobs and allow American businesses to compete in a global marketplace, we must keep burdensome taxes low and reduce unnecessary and duplicative regulatory red tape."
- Taxes
- Excerpt: "There are some in Congress that wish to increase taxes on American families and businesses, so that more money can be spent on Washington programs. We must fight against irresponsible indulgence; taking more from taxpayers does not create jobs or grow prosperity. We need to keep taxes low so our small businesses can invest and create new jobs and so American taxpayers can keep more of their hard-earned money."
- Technology and Innovation
- Excerpt: "Investing in new technology and math and science education directly feeds into our nation’s ability to continue to lead the world in productivity and economic growth. America’s history is filled with stories of scientific discoveries and technological innovations that have improved the quality of life and economic prosperity of our nation, and the world."
- Securing Our Borders and Upholding the Rule of Law
- Excerpt: "We are a society based on the rule of law. While we are a nation of immigrants, we cannot allow control of our borders to break down. Our security requires that we know who is in our country, and why they are here. We must secure our borders by strengthening border enforcement."
- National Security
- Excerpt: "Our nation faces enemies that threaten our safety and security. After September 11th, we are continuously reminded that the world today is a dangerous place. We must ensure that our military has the necessary resources and technology to protect our freedoms and prevail on the battlefield."

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, McCarthy's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $78,009 and $296,000. That averages to $187,004, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. McCarthy ranked as the 350th most wealthy representative in 2012.[170] Between 2006 and 2012, McCarthy's calculated net worth[171] 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.[172]
Kevin McCarthy Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2006 | $285,296 |
2012 | $187,004 |
Growth from 2006 to 2012: | −34% |
Average annual growth: | −6%[173] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[174] |
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). McCarthy received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Real Estate industry.
From 2005-2014, 26.31 percent of McCarthy's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[175]
