“
  • Defend 2nd Amendment Rights: Robert Pittenger, the conservative, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in North Carolina's 9th District, has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association for his strong stance in defense of our right to bear arms.
  • Foreign Affairs: Because the world is so interconnected, matters and events in places we’ve hardly heard of can affect America’s economy and security. Both our allies and our enemies are watching our every move.
  • Financial Services: New jobs come mainly from small businesses, and large and small businesses alike need capital to grow. When hardworking American families sensibly use credit to finance education, buy cars, or even remodel their kitchens, they are helping the economy.
  • Economy & Jobs: Much of America is financially struggling. Huge regulatory legislation such as Dodd-Frank, promises of “hope and change,” and trillion dollar-spending deficits each year have not helped the economy. Too many people in our communities still don’t have financially supportive jobs.
  • Budget & Spending: Washington spends money uncontrollably—America must borrow $1 million every thirty seconds to pay for Washington’s spending. And what do we get? We have more taxes and regulations, a larger bureaucracy, a shrinking economy, and fewer jobs for families.[114]
 ”
—Robert Pittenger's campaign website, http://www.robertpittenger.com/defend-2nd-amendment-rights/

2012

Pittenger's campaign website listed the following issues:[115]

  • Pittenger Pledges Conservative Tax Reform
Excerpt: "I’ll work to free people from their tax burden so they’ll have more money to do what’s best for their families and businesses. Small-business owners create jobs and put people to work, but they can’t do that when they’re weighed down by taxes. Lower taxes encourage business owners to invest and hire more people."
  • Pittenger Vows Strong National Security
Excerpt: "I believe that our military men and women are the best and the brightest. They deserve every military advantage we can give them. As your congressman I will fight to protect our defense budget and to fight for the money that our service men and women need. I will make our security the priority of our government."
  • Pittenger Promises Fiscal Responsibility
Excerpt: "Robert Pittenger, the conservative, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in North Carolina's 9th District, discovered over $1 billion in wasteful spending when he was a State Senator."
  • Pittenger Protects Our 2nd Amendment
Excerpt: "Although this right is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, it is under constant attack by liberals in Washington. That’s why we need strong, conservative leaders like Robert Pittenger to defend our right to keep and bear arms."

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, Pittenger's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $29,927,054 and $79,655,998. That averages to $54,791,526, which is higher than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Pittenger ranked as the 11th most wealthy representative in 2012.[116] Between 2011 and 2012, Pittenger's calculated net worth[117] increased by an average of 60 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[118]

Robert Pittenger Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2011$34,278,495
2012$54,791,526.00
Growth from 2011 to 2012:60%
Average annual growth:60%[119]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[120]

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). Pittenger received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry.

From 2011-2014, 13.4 percent of Pittenger's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[121]

  126. ↑ To build our list of the state and territorial delegations to the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ballotpedia relied primarily upon official lists provided by state and territorial Republican parties, email exchanges and phone interviews with state party officials, official lists provided by state governments, and, in some cases, unofficial lists compiled by local media outlets. When possible, we included what type of delegate the delegate is (at-large, district-level, or RNC) and which candidate they were bound by state and national party bylaws to support at the convention. For most delegations, Ballotpedia was able to track down all of this information. For delegations where we were not able to track down this information or were only able to track down partial lists, we included this note. If you have additional information on this state's delegation, please email editor@ballotpedia.org.
