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

Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Meehan's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $65,023 to $450,000. That averages to $257,511.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Meehan ranked as the 326th most wealthy representative in 2012.[117] Between 2009 and 2012, Meehan's calculated net worth[118] 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.[119]

Patrick Meehan Yearly Net Worth

2009$241,870
2012$257,511
Growth from 2009 to 2012:6%
Average annual growth:2%[120]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[121]

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). In the 113th Congress, Meehan was the chair of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies. Meehan received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/ Law Firms industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[122]

From 2009-2014, 29.36 percent of Meehan's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[123]

Noteworthy events

Resignation following Ethics Committee investigation (2018)

See also: Sexual assault and harassment in American politics (2017-2018)

On April 27, 2018, Meehan resigned from Congress. He said, "While I do believe I would be exonerated of any wrongdoing, I also did not want to put my staff through the rigors of an Ethics Committee investigation and believed it was best for them to have a head start on new employment rather than being caught up in an inquiry. And since I have chosen to resign, the inquiry will not become a burden to taxpayers and committee staff." He also said that he would pay back the $39,000 he used from his office account to settle a sexual harassment claim against him.[3] He had previously announced on January 25, 2018, that he would not run for re-election.[2]

Meehan was removed from his position on the House Ethics Committee on January 20, 2018, after The New York Times reported that he had settled a misconduct complaint by a former staff member with funds allocated for his congressional office. According to the report, an unnamed aide said that Meehan made unwanted romantic advances toward her in 2017. The report said that Meehan became hostile toward the woman when she did not reciprocate. A spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said that Meehan would face an investigation by the House Ethics Committee.

Meehan’s spokesman said the congressman denied the allegations and any wrongdoing. He also said that Meehan wanted to lift the confidentiality agreement on the settlement to “ensure a full and open airing of the facts.”[7][132]

On January 23, 2018, Meehan told the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News that he had told the staffer “that I was a happily married man and I was not interested in a relationship, particularly not any sexual relationship, but we were soul mates. I think that the idea of soul mate is that sort of person that you go through remarkable experiences together.”

He also released a letter that he had written her in May 2017 after he found out she was in a relationship. The letter encouraged her in her relationship and he said that she had responded positively to it. He said he did not harass her and that any hostility he showed was related to votes on the repeal of the Affordable Care Act during the same time period. He said he would repay the funds for the settlement if the Ethics Committee determined that he harassed her.[133]
