Campaign themes
2018
Campaign website
Rothfus’ campaign website stated the following:
“ |
Inalienable and Constitutional Rights Our Declaration of Independence recognizes inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and our Constitution protects these and other rights. Keith is working to build a culture of life, and agrees with most Americans that late term abortion is simply not acceptable. The United States is one of only seven countries in the world, including China, North Korea and Vietnam, to allow elective abortion after 20 weeks, an age at which babies can feel pain. The House passed, with Keith’s support, legislation to stop this. Keith also opposes taxpayer funding of abortion, and protecting our the rights enshrined in our Bill of Rights, including Freedom of Religion, the Press, Speech, Assembly, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to an attorney and trial by jury. Immigration and Border Security Keith opposes ‘sanctuary cities,’ and is cosponsoring the Securing America’s Future Act to secure the border once and for all. For Keith, securing the border is not just about stopping illegal immigration, it is also about blocking the flow of illegal drugs and protecting the U.S. from terrorists. Supporting our Veterans and Accountability in Washington Supporting Our Vets Keith led the charge against bonuses for corrupt VA officials and supported reforms to make the VA accountable for the benefits and care veterans earned and deserved. Keith also voted for the VA reform bill that will allow veterans to seek private care if they are unable to receive timely treatment from the VA. Accountability in Washington Keith challenges the high level of spending of both parties, and stood up to his own party’s leaders in opposing budget-busting spending bills that limit our children’s future. When party leaders told him to vote for a 2,200 page, $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill, with only 18 hours to review it, he said no. Medicare, Health Care and the Opioid Epidemic Medicare and Health Care Keith’s bipartisan law restored to seniors their right to change Medicare Advantage plans during the year, a right Obamacare had taken away. Keith also supported passage of the 21st Century Cures Act because he knows the importance of finding cures for Alzheimer’s, cancer and other diseases, and he voted for the Right to Try Act, to give terminally ill patients another chance at life. Opioid Epidemic Keith is active with the House’s Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, has advocated for increased funding for treatment programs and passed legislation promoting naloxone, the life-saving overdose antidote. Jobs, the Economy and Trade Jobs and the Economy Keith’s vote for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and financial reforms are producing more jobs, higher wages and more money in the pockets of hardworking taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act treats American businesses more favorably than businesses in China, Mexico and many other countries, resulting in more jobs, better pay and lower utility bills. Trade Keith stood up against President Obama, John Boehner and Paul Ryan on Trade Promotion Authority and TPP because the proposals did not put Western Pennsylvania First. Keith believes our trade policies should promote America’s interests and hold violators accountable.[10] |

Personal Gain Index
- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
- 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, Rothfus' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $4,603,055 to $9,772,000. That averages to $7,187,527.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Rothfus ranked as the 53rd most wealthy representative in 2012.[116] Between 2011 and 2012, Rothfus' calculated net worth[117] decreased by an average of 30 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[118]
Keith Rothfus Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2011 | $10,210,454 |
2012 | $7,187,527 |
Growth from 2011 to 2012: | −30% |
Average annual growth: | −30%[119] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[120] |
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). Rothfus received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Republican/Conservative industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[121]
From 2009-2014, 29.71 percent of Rothfus' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[122]
