John Lewis (Democratic Party) was a member of the U.S. House, representing Georgia's 5th Congressional District. He assumed office on January 3, 1987. He left office on July 17, 2020.

Lewis (Democratic Party) ran for re-election to the U.S. House to represent Georgia's 5th Congressional District. He did not appear on the ballot for the general election on November 3, 2020.

He ran unopposed for re-election in 2018.

Lewis has been an elected public official since 1982, having served on Atlanta's City Council prior to his election to the U.S. House.

Lewis played a role in the U.S. civil rights movement.[1] As chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Lewis organized student protests such as sit-ins. He was also an organizer of the March on Washington and a keynote speaker at the event in 1963. In 2011, Lewis was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama.[1]

At the beginning of the 115th Congress, Lewis was appointed to the Committee on Ways and Means.

As of a 2014 analysis of multiple outside rankings, Lewis is one of the most reliable Democratic votes, meaning he can be considered a safe vote for the Democratic Party in Congress.

American response in Syria

See also: United States involvement in Syria

On August 29, 2013, 53 House Democrats signed a letter written by California Rep. Barbara Lee that called for a congressional resolution on strikes and said that the situation in Syria "should not draw us into an unwise war—especially without adhering to our constitutional requirements."[111][112] The letter also called on the Obama administration to work with the U.N. Security Council to build international consensus condemning the alleged use of chemical weapons. Lewis was one of the 53 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[111][112]

On September 2, 2013, Lewis said, "Once Congressional debate begins and the Congress has had a full briefing, we will make a statement. We do not want to do so without that preparation."[113]

Noteworthy events

Arrest during immigration protest

See also: Gang of Eight

On October 8, 2013, eight Democratic members of Congress were arrested while attending a protest calling for comprehensive immigration reform in front of the U.S. Capitol.[114]

The eight included Lewis, Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), Raul Grijalva (D-Ari.), Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Al Green (D-Texas).[114] The politicians, along with activists who attended an immigration rally on the National Mall, staged a sit-in near the west side of the Capitol.[114] Authorities arrested the lawmakers for crowding and disrupting the streets around the Capitol. Almost 200 people were arrested by police during the protest.[114]

Lewis had been arrested 45 times previously, according to his twitter account. Lewis has been known to participate in sit-ins and protests throughout his many years in Congress.[114]

March on Washington speech

Lewis said Martin Luther King Jr. asked him to tone down the speech he delivered during the March on Washington more than 50 years ago.[115]

“Some people thought my speech as a little too strong, some would say maybe a little too militant. I said in the beginning, in my prepared text, I thought the Kennedy-proposed legislation was too little and that it was too late. And in another part of the speech, I said, ‘You tell us to wait. You tell us to be patient. We cannot wait. We cannot be patient. We want our freedom and we want it now,’” Lewis said.[115]

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, Lewis' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $9,009 to $135,000. That averages to $72,004.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Lewis ranked as the 386th most wealthy representative in 2012.[140] Between 2004 and 2012, Lewis' calculated net worth[141] 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.[142]

John Lewis Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$94,114
2012$72,004.50
Growth from 2004 to 2012:−23%
Average annual growth:−3%[143]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[144]

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). Lewis received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.

From 1989-2014, 31.86 percent of Lewis' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[145]
