2014
McNerney's campaign website listed the following issues:[182]
- Agriculture
- Excerpt: "Family farms are the backbone of our nation and are a major part of California’s economy. I am working hard to help family farms thrive and to promote policies that benefit the unique needs of growers and ranchers in California."
- Economy
- Excerpt: "I raised my three kids in California, and my family experienced periods of economic difficulty. I was a renewable energy engineer and small business owner, and I had to take out a second mortgage to afford my kids’ college education. I know what it’s like when times are tough, and nothing is more important to me than creating jobs in California and getting our economy going again."
- Education
- Excerpt: "My wife Mary and I raised three children in Northern California. My kids attended public schools in our area and went to public universities in our state. Nothing is more important to our country’s future than providing America’s youth with a first-class education, and I’m focused on making sure that California children have the educational opportunities they deserve."
- Energy
- Excerpt: "We need a forward-thinking energy policy more than ever. California families have suffered too much from volatile and high gas prices, and buying millions of barrels of oil from overseas puts money in the hands of countries like Iran and Venezuela that are hostile to America."
- Environment
- Excerpt: "California is home to some of America’s greatest treasures. I raised three kids here, and some of my best memories are of hiking, camping, and exploring the outdoors with my children. From Yosemite, to pristine beaches, to the San Joaquin Delta right here in our back yard, I’m committed to preserving our local environment for future generations to enjoy."

Personal Gain Index

- 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
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, McNerney's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $251,004 and $517,000. That averages to $384,002, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. McNerney ranked as the 298th most wealthy representative in 2012.[185] Between 2006 and 2012, McNerney's calculated net worth[186] increased by an average of 335 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[187]
Jerry McNerney Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2006 | $18,223 |
2012 | $384,002 |
Growth from 2006 to 2012: | 2,007% |
Average annual growth: | 335%[188] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[189] |
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
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). McNerney received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry.
From 2003-2014, 26.16 percent of McNerney's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[190]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
