Campaign website

Casey's campaign website stated the following:

Bob has dedicated his career to serving the people of Pennsylvania, and has the record to prove it

From legislation cracking down on terrorists’ financing to a law that makes it easier for small businesses to expand, Bob has a wide range of accomplishments for the people of Pennsylvania. He knows that too many families have been left behind, and is committed to bringing good jobs to Pennsylvania and to raising wages.

[160]

—Bob Casey’s campaign website (2018)[161]

2012

Casey outlined the central themes of his 2012 re-election campaign for Senate on his official campaign website. He listed creating jobs as his top priority.[162] Other key issues included:

  • Changing Washington

Casey's 2012 campaign emphasized his record of promoting bipartisan reforms during his first term as Senator. Excerpt: "Casey has supported spending cuts and measures to force Washington to live within its means. He has also supported reforms to stop automatic pay increases for Congress and to strengthen ethics rules."[162]

  • Pennsylvania families

Excerpt: "[Casey] has supported tax cuts for middle-income families to help make ends meet and to boost the economy. He has voted against tax breaks for big oil and stood up to Wall Street by pushing for tough new rules to protect Pennsylvanians and the economy."[162]

  • Manufacturing and Trade

Excerpt: "Casey has fought against unfair trade practices that would put Pennsylvania jobs at risk, and he is fighting for tough sanctions against China for its currency abuses and illegal dumping of cheap products in American market."[162]

  • Medicare

Casey supported or passed legislation to improve the quality of life for senior citizens, such as a bill to protect seniors and disabled citizens from paying increased medicare premiums in 2013, and to remove certain barriers to changing insurance plans placed on Medicare recipients under Obamacare.[162]

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, Casey's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $257,017 to $832,000. That averages to $544,508.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senate members in 2012 of $13,566,333.90. Casey ranked as the 80th most wealthy senator in 2012.[163] Between 2006 and 2012, Casey‘s calculated net worth[164] increased by an average of 7 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[165]

Bob Casey, Jr. Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2006$385,511
2012$544,508
Growth from 2006 to 2012:41%
Average annual growth:7%[166]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[167]

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). In the 113th Congress, Casey was the chair of the Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety and chair of the Subcommittee on Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Growths. Casey received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.

From 2005-2014, 28.18 percent of Casey's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[168]
