National security
DHS Appropriations
Gingrey voted in favor of HR 2217 - the DHS Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[11]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Gingrey voted against House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[11]
CISPA (2013)
Gingrey voted in favor of HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill permitted federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[12] The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[11]
NDAA
Gingrey voted in support of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[11]
Economy
Farm bill
On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[13] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[14][15] It also cut the food stamp program an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[15] Gingrey voted with 62 other Republican representatives against the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[16][17] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[17] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[18] It included a 1 percent increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency and protected the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Gingrey joined with the 63 other Republicans and 3 Democrats who voted against the bill.[16][17]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[19] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[20] Gingrey voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[21]
The shutdown ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[22] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Gingrey voted against HR 2775.[23]
Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
In March 2013 the Republican controlled House passed the budget proposal set out by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (R) for the third straight year.[24] However, not all Republican representatives voted in favor of the proposal.[24] Gingrey was one of the 10 Republican Representatives who voted against Ryan's budget proposal.[24]
The proposal was killed after being voted down in the U.S. Senate with a 40-59 vote.[25]
The proposal would have cut about $5 trillion over the next decade and aimed to balance the budget by the end of the 10-year period.[24] The 2013 bill had opposition from 10 Republicans — the same number that voted against it in 2012. In 2011 only four Republicans cast a vote in opposition.[24] Democrats have unanimously voted against the bill every year.[24]
2013 Farm Bill
In July 2013 the Republican controlled House narrowly passed a scaled-back version of the farm bill after stripping out the popular food-stamp program.[26][27] The bill passed on a 216-208 vote, with no Democrats voting in favor.[28] All but 12 Republicans supported the measure.[29] The group consisted mostly of conservative lawmakers more concerned about spending than farm subsidies.[29][30] Gingrey was one of the 12 who voted against the measure.[29]
The farm bill historically has included both billions in farm subsidies and billions in food stamps. Including both of the two massive programs has in the past helped win support from rural-state lawmakers and those representing big cities.[28] After the bill failed in the House in June 2013 amid opposition from rank-and-file Republicans, House leaders removed the food stamp portion in a bid to attract conservative support.[28]
Immigration
Morton Memos Prohibition
Gingrey voted in favor of House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain individuals residing in the United States without legal status. The vote largely followed party lines.[11]
Healthcare
Healthcare Reform Rules
Gingrey voted in favor of House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[11]
Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act
Gingrey voted in favor of HR 2009 - Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act of 2013. The bill passed through the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 232-185. The bill would prevent the IRS and Treasury Secretary from enforcing the powers provided to them in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The vote largely followed party lines.[11]
Social issues
Amash amendment
Gingrey voted against House Amendment 413 - Prohibits the National Security Agency from Collecting Records Under the Patriot Act. The amendment failed on July 4, 2013, by a vote of 205-217. The amendment would have prohibited the collection of records by the National Security Agency under the Patriot Act. Both parties were split on the vote.[11]
Government affairs
HR 676
On July 30, 2014, the U.S. House approved a resolution 225 to 201 to sue President Barack Obama for exceeding his constitutional authority. Five Republicans—Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Paul Broun of Georgia, Scott Garrett of New Jersey, Walter Jones of North Carolina and Steve Stockman of Texas—voted with Democrats against the lawsuit.[31] Gingrey joined the other 224 Republicans in favor of the lawsuit. All Democrats voted against the resolution.[32][33]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Gingrey voted against the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 151 Republicans that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[34]
Issues
National security
American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
On August 28, 2013, Gingrey urged President Obama to consult with members of Congress before taking military action in response to the Syrian conflict.[35]
Gingrey, along with other members of Congress, sent a letter to President Obama urging him to reconvene Congress before making a decision on U.S. military involvement.[35]
Presidential preference
2012
Phil Gingrey endorsed Newt Gingrich in the 2012 presidential election.[36]
Conservative Fight Club
According to the conservative website RedState, Gingrey was one of 16 U.S. House members in the "Conservative Fight Club," a designation meant to describe the "gold standard for conservatives in the House," as outlined by RedState. They were the 16 Republicans who voted against the continuing appropriations resolution to avoid the impending government shutdown in August 2014. This type of resolution is used to fund government agencies when a formal federal budget has not been approved.[37]
Elections
2014
Gingrey ran to take over the open U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss will retire rather than seek re-election to the Senate in 2014.[38] Gingrey made the announcement on March 27, 2013, in Augusta.[39] Gingrey was defeated in the Republican primary on May 20, 2014.[4]

Members of campaign staff resign
Four members of Gingrey's campaign staff resigned on November 28, 2013.[40] General consultant Chip Lake, campaign manager John Porter, political director David Allen and grass-roots coordinator Justin Tomczak all stepped down from the campaign.[40]
General consultant Chip Lake said in a statement, “I have nothing but respect for Phil Gingrey. I wish him nothing but the best, but when you reach that point in a campaign where you’re at the crossroads, something’s got to give. When I left him yesterday I wished him the best and told him I thought it was very important for him to finish out this campaign the way that’s most comfortable for him...We just had some disagreements on overall campaign vision and structure, and everything kind of falls under that umbrella. When that happens, you try to work it out, and when you can’t work it out, you sit down and have difficult discussions on how to move forward.”[40]
2012
Gingrey ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent Georgia's 11th District. Gingrey won re-election. The signature filing deadline was May 25, 2012, with the primary on July 31, 2012. He won the primary and advanced to win the general election on November 6, 2012.[41]

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, Gingrey's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $2,458,035 and $7,664,995. That averages to $5,061,515, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Gingrey ranked as the 75th most wealthy representative in 2012.[46] Between 2004 and 2012, Gingrey's calculated net worth[47] 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.[48]
| Phil Gingrey Yearly Net Worth | |
|---|---|
| Year | Average Net Worth |
| 2004 | $6,929,170 |
| 2012 | $5,061,515 |
| Growth from 2004 to 2012: | −27% |
| Average annual growth: | −3%[49] |
| Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[50] | |
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). Gingrey received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.
From 2001-2014, 37.42 percent of Gingrey's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[51]
