Security Council to build international consensus condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons. Hastings was one of the 53 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[137][138]

Noteworthy events

1989 impeachment and conviction

In 1981, while serving on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Alcee Hastings was indicted by a federal grand jury. He was charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice for receiving a bribe to reduce two sentences for felons with mob connections. Though he was acquitted in 1983, a special committee of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals conducted an investigation and recommended in 1987 that Hastings be impeached for perjury and conspiracy. In 1989, the U.S. Senate tried Hastings on 17 counts of perjury and bribery, finding him guilty on eight counts. The Senate voted to remove Hastings from the district court bench, but he was not disqualified from holding office in the future.[151]

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, Hastings' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $-7,348,999 and $-2,115,006. That averages to -$4,732,002.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Hastings ranked as the 440th most wealthy representative in 2012.[152] Between 2004 and 2012, Hastings' calculated net worth[153] percentage increase was not meaningful as the initial average net worth was less than or equal to zero. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[154]

Alcee Hastings Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$−6,207,185
2012$−4,732,002.50
Growth from 2004 to 2012:N/A
Average annual growth:N/A
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[155]

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

From 1991-2014, 28.33 percent of Hastings' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[156]
