Campaign themes

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

  • Strengthening Our Economy: With unemployment rates still high in Connecticut and across the country, Rosa’s top priority is putting people back to work and creating good middle class jobs. Rosa believes in doing this while also investing in the infrastructure and green economy that will create jobs in the long-term and sustainable economic growth that allows us to compete in the global economy.
  • Securing Quality, Affordable Health Care for Connecticut Families: The Affordable Care Act is good for the middle class, for small businesses and for the economy, and we are a better and stronger country because of it. It ensures that Americans have access to quality, affordable health care while reducing the long-term costs of health coverage.
  • Keeping Families Safe: Rosa supports efforts by the Office of Homeland Security to engage local communities in this response, and has worked with emergency response teams and other community leaders in the Third District to ensure that all Connecticut families are protected.
  • Foreign Policy: Rosa did not support the authorization to use force in Iraq and has consistently called for a phased, responsible redeployment out of the country. She believes that our troops, along with their families, have sacrificed so much and have performed magnificently in implementing the mission they were given in Iraq. They deserve to be honored accordingly.
  • Protecting Connecticut Consumers and Homeowners: Rosa has long been an advocate for improved consumer safety. As Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee that deals with these issues, Rosa has made enormous progress in improving food and drug safety and the safety of consumer products. In addition, she has worked to protect Connecticut consumers from the dangerous practices of banks and mortgage lenders in today’s economy.

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

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, DeLauro's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $5,349,018 and $26,319,996. That averages to $15,834,507, which is higher than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. DeLauro ranked as the 37th most wealthy representative in 2012.[148] Between 2004 and 2012, DeLauro's calculated net worth[149] decreased by an average of 3 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[150]

Rosa DeLauro Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$20,121,404
2012$15,834,507
Growth from 2004 to 2012:-21%
Average annual growth:-3%[151]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[152]
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). DeLauro received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.

From 1989-2014, 27.33 percent of DeLauro's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[153]
