Political positions

Syria intervention

See also: United States involvement in Syria

On September 3, 2013, Frelinghuysen said he would not support military strikes on Syria unless Obama could prove that the strikes would lead to an end to Syria's civil war. He said, "While I am horrified by the deaths of so many innocent men, women and children, I want to know how the president's strategic plans will change the course of this civil war. I cannot support any authorization unless and until my questions are answered fully."[123]

Frelinghuysen elaborated, "I found the people in my district did not want to us to intervene. I think they are horrified but I am not sure that limited military strikes are going to accomplish whatever President Obama has in the way of a strategic plan. I don’t see it. I don’t think there is a great partisan divide. I think people just want to know what the president’s plan is."[124]

Israel trip

Frelinghuysen went to Israel for the first time in 12 years in September 2013. While there, he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Frelinghuysen expressed concern for Israel if Iran were to obtain nuclear weapons. He said, "I think the most immediate threat to Israel’s survival is what is happening in Iran in terms of its nuclear capacity. I feel they are hell-bent on doing that, no matter what else is happening on the world stage. They have missile capacity, and hopefully the marriage of their missiles and their nuclear arms will not happen, but in reality, I think it will happen."[124]

He also commented on Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhan. He said, "From the briefings we have had, I think he has an aura of having a more worldly view of things. But I heard he has a pretty sordid past and we shouldn’t take his words at face value."

“The people I’ve talked to think he is highly anti-Semitic, and he has been involved in activities that have led to people’s deaths and disappearances. So I don’t see him as particularly trustworthy, although I know a whole group of Republicans who feels he represents a new generation and new opportunity.”[124]

Budget debate

See also: United States budget debate, 2013

Frelinghuysen released a statement blaming Democrats for the government shutdown on October 1, 2013. He said, "The House has now approved multiple government appropriation bills, known as Continuing Resolutions, which would have fully funded the operations of the federal government until December 15. Unfortunately, the Senate, with the encouragement of the President, has rejected all House offers to keep the government open for business." He added, "I hope the President will agree to join with us to end the shutdown and delay the implementation of the worst aspects of the President’s new health care law."[125] Frelinghuysen was named to a bi-partisan conference committee of the House and Senate. The committee met to find a compromise and end the shutdown.[126]

Frelinghuysen was not happy about the shutdown, although he thought it was appropriate for the spending bill to have Obamacare attached to it. He said, "When you take over one-sixth of the American economy (health care costs) and hand it to the federal government, that’s major stuff. I’m not against healthcare reform but there have been so many problems." He also realized that the shutdown reflected poorly on Congress. He added, "There is a whole new group, mostly on our side (Republicans) who don’t remember as I do how public perception in Congress was better in 1995."[126]

Campaign themes

2016

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

“
  • Economic Growth and Job Creation: Rodney knows our primary focus must be jobs, careers and more opportunities for all Americans. The Administration and Congress should be working together to lead our nation back to economic freedom. By listening to businessmen and women from small and large companies as well as New Jersey families, Rodney knows that higher taxes, larger debt, more regulation and the threat of increased government mandates hamper new job creation in the real economy.
  • Spending, Deficits and Debt: President Obama’s runaway spending has led to runaway federal debt. At the beginning of this year, our national debt was pegged at $17 trillion – a number that exceeds the total output of the American economy for the first time in U.S. history! Enough is enough! Rodney understands that we have to stop spending borrowed federal dollars like there is no tomorrow. That’s why he is fighting for the hardworking taxpayers by supporting no-nonsense spending controls, including a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution.
  • Cutting Taxes for New Jersey Families: Rodney understands that New Jersey families are taxed too much because government spends too much. He knows that raising taxes – which will fuel more government spending – is a huge mistake. His solution is to cut Washington spending and provide tax relief for New Jersey families and businesses – an important action for families trying to recover their lost jobs and savings.
  • Health Care – Protecting our Families: Rodney supports health care reform, but not Barack Obama’s federal takeover of health care! It’s bad enough that ObamaCare slows job creation and economic growth, but it’s also shrinking paychecks and destroying the 40-hour work week. Because of the President’s misguided law, many people who are lucky enough to have jobs have seen their hours slashed. That’s not fair and must be changed. Families and small businesses need high-quality health care. And they also need to be assured that medical decisions are made by doctors and patients.
  • National Security – Protecting America: For Rodney, there is no greater responsibility for a member of Congress than protecting the American people by providing for a strong national defense. As the Chairman of the key Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, his focus is to ensure that our Armed Forces and intelligence community have all the tools they need to defeat America’s enemies. That’s why he is Congress’ leading champion of Picatinny Arsenal. He is fighting to provide support for our military men and women and their families whether at home or abroad, all of whom are volunteers.

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, Frelinghuysen's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $20,908,191 and $69,897,000. That averages to $45,402,595.50, which is higher than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Frelinghuysen ranked as the 14th most wealthy representative in 2012.[142] Between 2004 and 2012, Frelinghuysen's calculated net worth[143] decreased by an average of 3 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[144]

Rodney Frelinghuysen Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$60,383,088
2012$45,402,595
Growth from 2004 to 2012:−25%
Average annual growth:−3%[145]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[146]

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

From 1989 - 2014, 25.27 percent of Frelinghuysen's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[147]
