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 cautioned that the situation in Syria "should not draw us into an unwise war—especially without adhering to our constitutional requirements."[156][157] 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. Johnson was one of the 53 Democrats in the House to sign the letter.[156][157]

Black Caucus Foundation controversy

In 2010, news broke that Johnson had given 23 scholarships from the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation to relatives and relatives of her staff over a five year period. This was in violation of both an anti-nepotism rule and a residency requirement of the scholarship. Johnson also specifically requested that the scholarship check be sent directly to her relatives rather than the standard procedure of the money going directly to the university the recipient would be attending. She went on to repay the foundation over $31,000.[158]

It was reported in May 2013 that the same Wikipedia user had twice scrubbed Johnson's page of reference to the scholarship incident. No relationship was found of the user to Johnson or her staff.[159]

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, Johnson's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $502,003 and $1,030,000. That averages to $766,001, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Johnson ranked as the 232nd most wealthy representative in 2012.[182] Between 2004 and 2012, Johnson's calculated net worth[183] increased by an average of 109 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[184]

Eddie Bernice Johnson Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$79,006
2012$766,001
Growth from 2004 to 2012:870%
Average annual growth:109%[185]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[186]

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, Johnson is the ranking Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. Johnson received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.

From 1991-2014, 30.62 percent of Johnson's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[187]
