- Protecting Medicare Benefits For Our Seniors
- Excerpt: "I won’t support any plan that will rob our seniors of the Medicare benefits they have paid into for their entire lives. They have earned those benefits. I want to guarantee that anyone over the age of 55 will see the benefits they deserve."

ImmigrationKing Amendment
The amendment, offered by Rep. Steve King (R) of Iowa, passed the House by a vote of 224-201 and was approved mostly along party lines. However, three Democrats supported the amendment and six Republicans opposed it, while nine members did not vote.[116]Denham was one of the six Republican members who voted against the amendment.[107] The amendment would effectively demand the government force out individuals who came to the U.S. as children without legal permission.[116] It contrasts with comprehensive immigration reform efforts, including proposed DREAM Act style legislation, and would resume the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children.[117] The amendment was the first immigration-related vote in either chamber of Congress in 2013, and blocks many of the provisions that are mirrored in the Senate’s Gang of Eight bill.[118][116] HealthcareHealthcare Reform Rules

Issues
Poll on 2013 immigration plan
Several Republican members of the U.S. House may have faced a tougher path to re-election in 2014 because the Gang of Eight's immigration bill did not pass in the House in 2013, according to a Public Policy Poll released in July 2013.[125]
According to the poll, a majority of voters in seven Republican congressional districts said they were less likely to vote for their representative if he or she failed to support the plan. Public Policy Polling described the bill to respondents, saying that it would "secure our borders, block employers from hiring undocumented immigrants, and make sure that undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. with no criminal record register for legal status. If a long list of requirements is met over more than a decade, it provides eligibility for a path to citizenship."[126]
Denham represented one of those seven districts. Voters also reported in the poll that they were less likely to support Republican candidates in the 2014 general election if the Republican House members blocked this immigration proposal.[125] Voters in all seven districts had at least 61 percent support for the Senate’s immigration plan.[125]
In October 2013, Denham became the first House Republican to publicly announce his support of the immigration bill the Senate passed earlier in 2013, largely due to the efforts of the Senate's bipartisan Gang of Eight.[127]
Legislative scorecard
Capitol Weekly, California's major weekly periodical covering the state legislature, publishes an annual legislative scorecard to pin down the political or ideological leanings of every member of the legislature based on how they voted on an assortment of bills in the most recent legislative session. The 2009 scores were passed on votes on 19 bills, but did not include how legislators voted on the Proposition 1A (2009). On the scorecard, "100" is a perfect liberal score and "0" is a perfect conservative score.[128][129]
On the 2009 Capitol Weekly legislative scorecard, Denham ranked as a 17.[130]

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
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Denham's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $5,310,006 and $26,099,999. That averages to $15,705,002, which is higher than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Denham ranked as the 38th most wealthy representative in 2012.[152] Between 2009 and 2012, Denham's calculated net worth[153] increased by an average of 661 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[154]
| Jeff Denham Yearly Net Worth | |
|---|---|
| Year | Average Net Worth |
| 2009 | $754,482 |
| 2012 | $15,705,002 |
| Growth from 2009 to 2012: | 1,982% |
| Average annual growth: | 661%[155] |
| Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[156] | |
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
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). Denham received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Crop Production & Basic Processing industry.
From 2009-2014, 30.37 percent of Denham's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[157]
