Trade adjustment assistance
Nay3.png On June 12, 2015, the House rejected the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015—by a vote of 126-302. Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Brown was one of 144 Democrats to vote against the bill.[13][14]
Trade promotion authority
Nay3.png On June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015 —by a vote of 219-211. TPA gives the president fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements sent to Congress without the opportunity for amendment or filibuster. Although the House approved TPA, it was a largely symbolic vote given the measure was part of a package trade bill including trade adjustment assistance (TAA), which was rejected earlier the same day. Brown was one of 157 Democrats to vote against the measure.[15][16]
Trade promotion authority second vote

The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining his or her original position on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Brown was one of 158 Democrats to vote against the amendment.[17][18]
Trade adjustment assistance second vote
Yea3.png The House passed HR 1295—the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015—on June 25, 2015, by a vote of 286-138. The Senate packaged trade adjustment assistance (TAA) in this bill after the House rejected the TAA measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015. Along with trade promotion authority (TPA), which Congress passed as part of HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—TAA became law on June 29, 2015. Brown was one of 175 Democrats to vote in favor of HR 1295.[19][20]

It does not provide budget authority, which is provided in subsequent appropriations legislation." Brown voted with 142 other Democrats and eight Republicans against the bill.[21] The Senate passed the bill on June 18, 2015, by a vote of 71-25.

HR 3460 prohibited "the President, prior to January 21, 2017, from: limiting the application of specified sanctions on Iran or refraining from applying any such sanctions; or removing a foreign person (including entities) listed in Attachments 3 or 4 to Annex II of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA) from the list of designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury."

Yea3.png On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[57] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166.

Ethics investigation

On March 23, 2016, the House Ethics Committee said that it opened an investigation into Brown. According to the committee, Brown is being investigated due to "allegations that she engaged in improper conduct relating to certain outside organizations, including allegations that she may have conspired with other persons in connection with fraudulent activity, improperly solicited charitable donations, used campaign funds for personal purposes, used official resources for impermissible non-official purposes, failed to comply with tax laws and made false statements, and/or failed to make required disclosures, to the House of Representatives and Federal Election Commission."[70]

On July 8, 2016, Brown and her Chief of Staff Elias "Ronnie" Simmons pleaded not guilty to “charges of mail and wire fraud, conspiracy, obstruction and filing of false tax returns.” According to Assistant U.S. Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, "Congresswoman Brown and her chief of staff are alleged to have used the congresswoman's official position to solicit over $800,000 in donations to a supposed charitable organization, only to use that organization as a personal slush fund.” According to the indictment, donations to Brown’s charity, One Door, went into Brown’s and Simmons’ bank accounts and paid for “repairs to Brown's car and vacations to locations such as the Bahamas, Miami Beach and Los Angeles.” In addition, the indictment alleges that Brown used One Door funds to pay for “a golf tournament, lavish receptions during an annual Washington conference and the use of luxury boxes for a Beyonce concert and an NFL game between the Washington Redskins and Jacksonville Jaguars.”[71]

After the hearing, Brown said, "My heart is just really heavy. But I'm looking forward to a speedy day in court to vindicate myself. We will present the other side."[71]

Redistricting

On July 9, 2015, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the state's congressional district map was unconstitutional. As a result of the ruling, eight congressional district were ordered to be redrawn, including Brown's 5th Congressional District.[72]

Following the ruling, Brown said, "The decision by the Florida Supreme Court is seriously flawed and entirely fails to take into consideration the rights of minority voters. It also fails to recognize federal law, in that it did not incorporate the spirit of the 1964 Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voting rights and clearly supersedes the contradictory standards set by the state’s Fair Districts requirements."[73]

National security

American response in Syria

See also: United States involvement in Syria

Regarding the situation in Syria, Brown made the following statement on September 3, 2013:

“The Syrian government’s horrific use of chemical weapons against its own people is a clear violation of any moral standard and places the Assad regime well outside the circle of respect for basic human rights. I strongly believe that those responsible for these horrific attacks must be held accountable. The ongoing civil war in Syria remains deeply concerning, as does the involvement of Iran and Hezbollah in supporting the Assad regime's attacks against Syrian communities."[74]

Social issues

Farm Bill

After House Republicans separated food stamp legislation from the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013, Brown took to the floor stating, "Mitt Romney was right: You all do not care about the 47 percent. Shame on you. This is a sad day for the House of Representatives. Shame on the Republicans." Because direct attacks are not allowed on the House floor, Rep. Kevin Yoder, who was at the time acting as Speaker, requested that Brown cease.[75]

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

“
  • Budget: The federal budget is a moral statement and how we allocate taxpayers' dollars reflects our values. While the annual federal deficit and total national debt stand at unacceptable levels, it is important to remember how we reached this point. When President Clinton left office in 2000, we enjoyed an annual surplus that would have wiped out the national debt by 2008.
  • Education: As I always say, criminology 101, if our youth are busy in school studying, participating in summer school and after school recreational activities, then they are staying out of trouble. I strongly believe that we all have a responsibility to the children in this nation to do everything we can, and use every means at our disposal, to encourage reading and academic progress for all kids, not just those with the financial resources to succeed.
  • Energy & Environment: I support a comprehensive energy plan, one that promotes responsible exploration and development while protecting the environment and consumers. I support conservation efforts, increasing research into renewable energy sources and relief for energy consumers in the wake of rising energy costs.
  • Social Security: Ever since the Democrats created the Social Security System in 1935, it has not only formed the centerpiece around which Americans plan their retirement, but has provided piece of mind by providing benefits to both disabled workers and the children and wives of deceased beneficiaries. Currently over 3 million Floridians are receiving Social Security benefits. Including over 100,000 in my District alone.
  • Transportation: I have been a member of the Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure since coming to Congress. By focusing on transportation issues that are key to economic development, I have helped bring jobs and opportunities to towns and cities my district and the state. One of my first accomplishments as a Member of Congress was winning funding for the much-needed Fuller Warren Bridge in Jacksonville.

—Corrine Brown's campaign website, http://www.corrinebrownforcongress.com/issues

2012

Brown's campaign website listed the following issues:[89]

  • Transportation
Excerpt: "I have been critical in the fight to get Florida its share of transportation money. For years, Florida has been a donor state to the Highway Trust Fund and the Airport Improvement Program. I was a leader in the fight to change transportation funding through an initiative called "Tea-21," which returns more transportation money to populous states like Florida and Texas."
  • Defense
Excerpt: "I stand 100% behind our troops. I have supported Defense funding every year since coming to Congress, and proudly supported both Defense bills in the 106th Congress. All those who serve deserve our appreciation, our respect, and our compassion. The brave men and women in uniform who volunteered to defend our country are in my thoughts and in my prayers."
  • Education
Excerpt: "As a former educator, I understand how important education is to the future of this nation. In my estimation, education policies in the United States have not come close to meeting the needs of our nation's growing minority communities."
  • Veterans
Excerpt: "I have been an outspoken critic of the minimalist Department of Veterans Affairs funding in the 108th Congress. This shabby treatment of our veterans is intolerable. Our veterans are truly the best of the best and we must promise them that we will honor their service with appreciation, compassion and respect. They should not have to come begging at our doorstop year after year."

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, Brown's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $-12,998 and $20,000. That averages to $3,501, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Brown ranked as the 409th most wealthy representative in 2012.[90] Between 2004 and 2012, Brown's calculated net worth[91] decreased by an average of 13 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[92]

Corrine Brown Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$53,478
2012$3,501
Growth from 2004 to 2012:−93%
Average annual growth:−12%[93]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[94]

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). Brown received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Transportation Unions industry.

From 1991-2014, 29.13 percent of Brown's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[95]

Analysis

Ideology and leadership

See also: GovTrack's Political Spectrum & Legislative Leadership ranking

Congressional staff salaries

See also: Staff salaries of United States Senators and Representatives

The website Legistorm compiles staff salary information for members of Congress. Brown paid her congressional staff a total of $1,041,363 in 2011. She ranked 100th on the list of the lowest paid Democratic representative staff salaries and ranked 119th overall of the highest paid representative staff salaries in 2011. Overall, Florida ranked 36th in average salary for representative staff. The average U.S. House of Representatives congressional staff was paid $954,912.20 in fiscal year 2011.[99]

Staff bonuses

National Journal vote ratings

See also: National Journal vote ratings

2014

Brown voted with the Democratic Party 94.4 percent of the time, which ranked 55th among the 234 House Democratic members as of July 2014.[104]

2013

Noteworthy events

Federal corruption conviction

On May 11, 2017, Brown was convicted on 18 of 22 separate federal charges, including conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, tax crimes, and hiding income she should have publicly reported.[106] The charges stemmed from an investigation into a charity called One Door for Education, which was set up for the education of underprivileged children. Investigators revealed that though the charity raised $833,000 over four years, it gave just $1,200 of that away in scholarships. The rest went to Brown and two co-conspirators: chief of staff Ronnie Simmons and charity founder Carla Wiley. In December 2017, Brown was sentenced to five years in prison.[107] Brown's conviction was overturned in May 2021, when the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled that a judge had erred in removing a juror in Brown's trial who had claimed that the "Holy Spirit" had told him that Brown was not guilty. The court ordered a new trial in a 7-4 decision.[108]
