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. Herrera Beutler was one of 86 Republicans to vote in favor of TAA. Trade promotion authority 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. Herrera Beutler was one of 191 Republicans to support the measure. Trade promotion authority second vote After the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) and trade promotion authority (TPA) did not pass the House together on June 12, 2015, representatives voted to authorize TPA alone as an amendment to HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—on June 18, 2015. The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining their original positions on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Herrera Beutler was one of 190 Republicans to vote in favor of the amendment. Trade adjustment assistance second vote 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. Herrera Beutler was one of 111 Republicans to vote in favor of HR 1295. Defense spending authorization On May 15, 2015, the House passed HR 1735—the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016—by a vote of 269-151.

It does not provide budget authority, which is provided in subsequent appropriations legislation." Herrera Beutler voted with 227 other Republicans and 41 Democrats to approve the bill.

Campaign website

Herrera Beutler’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Jaime Herrera Beutler has worked hard throughout her career for policies that ensure future generations can enjoy Washington’s beautiful land, waters, and traditions. Serving as Southwest Washington’s representative in Congress from 2011-2023, Jaime was repeatedly recognized for her effectiveness in promoting responsible forest management and preserving the beauty of our state. She helped advance bipartisan legislation to curb the threat of wildfires and helped pass new funding for wildfire suppression and firefighting. Jaime’s bills to protect endangered salmon runs and upgrade and improve forest roads were signed into law.Tens of thousands of jobs supported by working forests in rural Washington would have been impacted if not for her successful legislation to protect access to these lands from onerous regulations – a bipartisan legislative feat that earned her the National Association of State Foresters’ highest honor, the Bernard L. Orell Award for Partnership. She secured support to protect wildlife habitat, and worked with members of both parties on legislation to fight the ocean acidification that is degrading coastal shellfish habitat. Raised in rural Clark County, Jaime grew up swimming in in the Lewis River, fishing at Battle Ground Lake, and participating in 4-H. She attended Prairie High School in Vancouver, where she played for the basketball team, and went on to graduate from the University of Washington in Seattle. She represented parts of Clark and Cowlitz County in the Washington State House of Representatives from 2007-2010, where she served in her party’s leadership and led efforts to expand affordable health care for Washingtonians and provide tax relief to business owners serving in the military. After leaving Congress, Jaime joined the board of the National Kidney Foundation and completed a Fellowship-in-Residency at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics. She currently serves as a strategic advisor to the Children’s Hospital Association. Jaime lives on 5 acres in Clark County with her husband, Dan, and their three children, Abigail, Ethan and Isana.	”

Campaign website

Herrera Beutler's campaign website stated the following:

Sea Lions

Guess who caught 46,000 returning salmon below Bonneville Dam in the last 10 years? Sea lions did. They don’t discriminate between endangered salmon species, and their numbers are exploding. Now, whole salmon runs are nearing extinction.

That’s why I’m fighting for bipartisan legislation that would allow fish managers to control the sea lion population, and prevent the day when salmon disappear from the Columbia River entirely.

Standing up for Seniors

We must keep our promise to Americans who depend on programs like Social Security and Medicare. This means ensuring that these programs are strong now and in the future, and not raided by D.C. politicians to fuel government overspending.

National Security

The safety of Americans must remain a top priority. It’s crucial that our military and armed forces have adequate resources, equipment, and training to protect us from terrorism and any bad actors who wish to do American citizens harm.

Oregon Tolling

I’m fighting Oregon’s plan to place tolls on the I-5 and I-205 bridges, which would unfairly force Southwest Washington commuters to pay for Oregon infrastructure they barely use. Such a move would penalize Washington residents who must commute to work in Oregon, create no new lanes for congestion relief on I-5 or I-205, and would make it harder for both states to rebuild or update the aging I-5 bridge in the future.

Both roadways are federal interstate highways, and as this region’s federal representative, I’ll keep fighting against any plan that unfairly treats Southwest Washington residents like piggy banks and provides them little to no benefit in return.

Education

It is important for our schools to be safe places where our children can learn and grow into productive members of our community. To have excellent schools, choices about education are best made locally, not by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., and I’m working to empower parents and educators here in Southwest Washington to make decisions that ensure students and their success are the focus.

Ending the Opioid Crisis

Too many of our families, neighbors and friends in Longview, Vancouver, Centralia and communities across Southwest Washington have been impacted by our country’s rampant opioid addiction crisis. We must tackle the root causes, and bolster effective treatment and rehabilitation programs for those suffering from addiction to confront this national crisis.

Veterans

Those who serve and risk their lives in the name of our freedom deserve our total support when they return home. I’m working to improve resources for the veteran community.

Protecting Public Lands

Our region is lucky to be home to majestic natural treasures like the Pacific Crest Trail and Mt. St. Helens. It is important we protect them for future generations to enjoy. I’ll always fight to preserve our national monuments like Mt. St. Helens and protect the public’s ability to access the land that belongs to them.

Making health care more affordable, more available

Health care costs continue to impact families in all of our communities. Under the Affordable Care Act, rural residents have been treated like second-class citizens when it comes to health care access. Our country’s rate of maternal mortality lags behind the rest of the industrialized world. I think we deserve better, and that every individual should be able to get affordable, quality health care no matter who they are or where they live.

Whether it’s fighting to restore health insurance options for Klickitat County, working to lower the cost of prescription medication and treatment, or leading the way on legislation to reverse the death rate among moms, I’ll keep advancing solutions to improve health care in Southwest Washington.

Economy & Jobs

From our fisheries to our breweries, Southwest Washington is built on small businesses. I’m working to roll back burdensome regulations that hinder small-business growth and job opportunities for Washingtonians.

2016

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

“	Jobs and the Economy: Too many moms, dads, and recent graduates in Southwest Washington are out of work. I have family members and close friends who are ready to work, but have spent months unsuccessfully pounding the pavement in search of full time jobs. This needs to change. We have to get Southwest Washington working again. Our National Debt: Our national debt threatens the futures and livelihoods of every single American. It jeopardizes the promises government has made to those teachers who are planning on a pension when they retire. It jeopardizes the promises government made to those hardworking Americans in the form of Social Security. It also jeopardizes the competitiveness of our nation in the global economy. I believe Congress has a duty to cut wasteful spending and bring the federal budget back into balance. Education: A good education must engage parents, involve good teachers, and center on the students. I support increasing STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and believe that decisions should be made locally whenever possible. Our children deserve a world class education that prepares them for the 21st century global economy. Immigration: Our nation’s immigration system is broken. For years the federal government has failed to live up the Constitutional responsibility to defend our borders. I support immigration reform that addresses illegal immigration, and strengthens our economy with a tough but fair process that respects the rule of law. Columbia River Crossing: I advocate for a safe, affordable I-5 bridge across the Columbia River that meets present and future needs of capacity and freight mobility – but the current Columbia River Crossing proposal will not get us there. I’ve been working on behalf of Southwest Washington residents who want the CRC to come back to the table and produce a proposal that is a better fit for our region.	”

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:

• Changes in Net Worth
• The Donation Concentration Metric

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, Herrera Beutler's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,001 to $15,000. That averages to $8,000.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Herrera Beutler ranked as the 404th most wealthy representative in 2012. Between 2009 and 2012, Herrera Beutler's calculated net worth decreased 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.

Herrera Beutler Yearly Net Worth
Year	Average Net Worth
2009	$17,124.00
2012	$8,000.50
Growth from 2009 to 2012:	−53%
Average annual growth:	−18%
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.

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)

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). Herrera Beutler received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Washington's 3rd Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.
