Campaign themes

2018

Campaign website

Roskam’s campaign website stated the following:

“

National Security and Borders
There’s no issue more important to Peter than keeping our country and our communities safe. We must develop a long-term strategy to combat the spread of radical Islamic extremism. The rise of ISIS and extremist groups around the world has led to terror attacks against our citizens at home and abroad. This is unacceptable and it must stop.

Peter voted to halt the unchecked influx of Syrian refugees into our communities until we have better screening processes in place to keep out violent extremists who intend us harm. Any efforts to reform our country’s immigration system must start with border security. The federal government has been derelict in its duty to secure our borders and the result is a serious threat to our national security.

Peter is leading the charge against President Obama’s dangerous and misguided deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. He bucked his own party’s leadership to prevent a vote affirming the deal after the White House refused to unveil key details of the agreement. We should immediately reinstate and strengthen sanctions against Iran, not hand over a $100 billion check that the president himself admits will be used to support terrorism.

Peter stands proudly as one of Israel’s strongest supporters in Congress. He understands the only true democracy in the Middle East is our strongest ally in the region and serves as a crucial check against the rising tide of violent extremism. Peter has worked tirelessly against those who seek to delegitimize Israel, fighting the insidious Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Peter passed legislation, over President Obama’s objections, to protect American companies doing business in Israel from discrimination. He serves as Co-Chair of the Republican Israel Coalition and the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism.

Health Care
By almost every conceivable metric, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has failed. Americans have seen their healthcare plans cancelled and their options limited. We pay more for less, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We must repeal and replace this misguided and harmful law.

Peter has long supported the full repeal and replacement of the ACA. As a member of the Ways & Means Health Subcommittee, he supports patient-centered alternatives designed to increase access to affordable, portable health insurance and spur competition among providers to bring down costs.

To achieve those goals, Peter voted for legislation that protects coverage for people with preexisting conditions, increases competition in the marketplace and lowers premiums, and ensures long-term viability of the healthcare system.

Oversight and Accountability
As Chairman of the Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee, Peter has been leading the fight to reform the IRS and root out the mismanagement and abuse the troubled agency has inflicted upon hardworking taxpayers.

When the IRS got caught abusing its power and unfairly targeting conservatives, Peter led the charge to investigate and hold the guilty parties accountable. When the agency tried to use gift taxes to target and diminish charitable donations to conservative groups, Peter passed a law to stop it – scoring a major legislative victory. He will continue to hold the IRS accountable and make sure these abuses never happen again.

Peter has been a leading voice fighting to change the culture at the IRS. He wrote and passed into law the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, which protects taxpayers and their private information from IRS abuse. He forced the IRS to re-train every one of its employees and hang a copy in every one of its facilities. Through his oversight and accountability work, Peter exposed major abuses of power by the IRS. The agency used strong-arm tactics to seize the assets of law-abiding citizens and small businesses. He is now forcing the IRS to repay every dollar they took and is changing the rules so that it can’t happen again.

Peter is also a leader on healthcare issues, using his oversight chairmanship to protect doctors, patients, and taxpayers. Medicare fraud costs hardworking families more than $165 million each day – more than a billion dollars each and every week. Peter authored legislation to apply credit card-style, anti-fraud technology to Medicare payments, receiving support from a wide variety of groups such as the AARP, the National Healthcare Anti-Fraud Association, and Citizens Against Government Waste. This important legislation will help prevent improper payments from being issued in the first place, a better alternative to tracking down stolen funds after the fact. It’s critical we adopt private sector innovations and the latest technologies to make sure Medicare dollars go towards care for our seniors, not fraudsters and identity thieves.

Tax Reform
The last time the tax code was overhauled, the Bears had just won the Super Bowl! We’ve spent the last 30 years with a bloated tax code full of special interest carve outs that added complexity but benefited very few.

Since Peter joined the Ways & Means Committee in 2009 he has been working tirelessly to rewrite the tax code, and in 2017 he helped author and pass the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. As both the Chairman of the Tax Policy Subcommittee and a member of the bicameral conference committee, Peter played a key role in advancing the legislation.

Our goals for this overhaul were simple – put more money back in American families’ paychecks and get our stagnant economy growing again to create new jobs. This law accomplishes both. A family of four making the median income for IL-06 of $135,485 and taking the standard deduction will see a tax cut of $4,673. In fact the average family in every income bracket in IL-06 will see a tax cut. Additionally this law cuts taxes for small businesses, allowing for a 20% deduction in taxable income for main street businesses, with guardrails in place to ensure that this benefit is used fairly. Finally this bill encourages companies to move operations and jobs back to the United States by lowering what was the highest corporate tax rate in the world and ending an antiquated taxation system that punished global companies that chose to headquarter in the United States.

Throughout this process Peter fought to preserve key provisions of the tax code such as the state and local tax deductions, the charitable deduction, and he even had his own bill, Stop Taxing Death and Disability, included in the law. This provision ensures that in the tragic event of a student passing away, their grieving family is not hit with a tax bill as a result of the deceased’s forgiven student loans.

This law is a win for the middle class and a win for the Sixth District of Illinois. Peter is proud to have played a key role in its success.

Family
Peter is unapologetically pro-life and consistently ranks among Congress’s strongest advocates for the unborn. He also understands that family issues go well beyond protecting the sanctity of life. Peter will continue fighting for healthcare access and affordability, lower energy costs and energy independence, as well as educational opportunities that empower parents, not government bureaucrats. Most recently, Peter has been leading an investigation into the rising costs of higher education.

Campaign website

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

“
  • Healthcare: We cannot afford the healthcare law that was passed earlier this year. It sets up a dramatic new entitlement regime that will actually increase insurance costs. The law is paid for by budget gimmicks such as double-counting Medicare and Social Security savings that would make any honest accountant blush. Congressman Roskam knows that people’s idea of healthcare reform is not forcing people onto Medicaid, but rather reforms that deliver for our need.
  • Jobs & the Economy: Washington’s number one job right now should be job creation. Congressman Roskam is a leading voice in Washington for the sort of policies we need to get the economy back on track. That’s why the National Federation of Independent Businesses, our country’s leading small business organization, recently awarded Congressman Roskam with the Guardian of Small Business Award.
  • Government Spending & Debt: Congressman Roskam wasn’t part of the big-spending House Republicans in the early 2000s, but he’s fought against wasteful spending under the current Majority since he was first elected in 2006. Congress may not like to make the hard choices, but Congressman Roskam knows that we can start right now taking some of these steps toward putting the federal government on a path to a balanced budget. Only then can we start paying off our debt and get our country on a track toward sustained economic prosperity.
  • National Security: Congressman Roskam is working to make sure we can be safe. He has a clear view of what America’s role in the world should be and what we need to be secure here at home. If America is to remain the freest nation in the world and not suffer more attacks on our homeland, we need to project the strength necessary for the task and implement the forward-thinking protections needed to guard against an ever-evolving threat.

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, Roskam's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $324,050 and $1,385,000. That averages to $854,525, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Roskam ranked as the 225th most wealthy representative in 2012.[117] Between 2007 and 2012, Roskam's calculated net worth[118] decreased by an average of 8 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[119]

Peter Roskam Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2007$1,485,787
2012$854,525
Growth from 2007 to 2012:−42%
Average annual growth:−8%[120]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[121]

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). Roskam received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Securities & Investment industry.

From 1997-2014, 23.4 percent of Roskam's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[122]
