Issues

National security

American response in Syria

See also: United States involvement in Syria

Schatz announced on September 5, 2013, that he did not support a Senate resolution to authorize military force in Syria. "Though all of us are outraged by the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons, I have concluded that a military strike against Syria is not the answer. Therefore, I will oppose this resolution," Schatz said in a statement.[168]

Economy

Honolulu Harbor molasses spill

In early September 2013, 1,400 tons of molasses spilled into Honolulu Harbor. The resulting damage was the death of thousands of fish. In response, Schatz called for a review of the molasses shipping system. "It's clear that this wasn't just a mechanical failure of a pipe but also a systems failure," Schatz stated.[169]

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

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, Schatz's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $135,016 and $504,000. That averages to $319,508, which was lower than the average net worth of Democratic senators in 2012 of $13,566,333. Schatz ranked as the 89th most wealthy senator in 2012.[178] Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[179]

Brian Schatz Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2012$319,508

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). Schatz received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.

From 2005-2014, 28.2 percent of Schatz's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[180]
