Campaign controversy

Mullin came under intense scrutiny concerning his possible ties to a former employee of Mullin Plumbing who was arrested in 2009 and convicted on federal gun charges. The employee, Timothy Lee Saylor, had previously been convicted on several felony charges in California. Mullin has said that Saylor did not face a background check because he came into Mullin Plumbing after the company purchased another firm. The question of Mullin's ties to Saylor came by way of a 2009 affidavit that references a "straw purchase" of a handgun that was in Saylor's possession. At the time, local police did not investigate because they found it reasonable that Mullin did not know Saylor was a convicted felon.^[208]

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

“

Always Pro-Life: As the father of five amazing children, I know that life is a gift from God and begins at the moment of conception. I will always vote to protect the sanctity of life – from conception to natural end. I am honored to have consistently maintained a 100% voting record with National Right to Life.

Traditional Values: Our nation was founded on conservative principles that are enduring. Yet our federal government, through this administration and its liberal allies, is attempting to force people of faith to violate their core religious beliefs and to silence those who disagree with their liberal agenda.

Immigration: Any solution to our broken immigration system must first contain strong border protections and must not allow amnesty.

Education: I firmly believe in more local control for public schools. I helped pass legislation freeing Oklahoma from being forced to adhere to ineffective federal standards. We know that the federal government has no business creating big-government education standards, and I strongly oppose Common Core. Local school boards, parents, teachers and administrators have the best interests of our children at heart, and nobody wants to see their own children succeed more than the local community.

Veterans Issues: America made commitments to its military and it falls upon all of our shoulders to ensure our nation honors those commitments. One of those soldiers is my grandfather, Kenneth “Cowboy” Morris, a World War II veteran who was part of the D-Day invasion in 1944.^[209]

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

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Mullin's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $2,819,030 to $9,063,000. That averages to $5,941,015, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Mullin ranked as the 61st most wealthy representative in 2012.^[211] Between 2011 and 2012, Mullin's calculated net worth^[212] increased by an average of 18 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.^[213]

Markwayne Mullin Yearly Net Worth
Year	Average Net Worth
2011	$5,018,770
2012	$5,941,015
Growth from 2011 to 2012:	18%
Average annual growth:	18%^[214]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.^[215]

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). Mullin received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Oil & Gas industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.^[216]

From 2011-2014, 23.72 percent of Mullin's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.^[217]
