Tulsa Air and Space Museum Attacks

Incumbent Rep. John Sullivan, whom Bridenstine challenged in the GOP primary, accused Bridenstine of mismanaging finances at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. Bridenstine served as the museum's director from December 2008 to August 2010. Though Bridenstine acknowledged the museum lost nearly $383,000 under his watch, he called Sullivan's attacks "recklessly false allegations." Bridenstine argued the loss was because he was trying to attract a retired NASA shuttle. Museum attorney Greggory Colpitts released a statement calling Sullivan's attacks a "reckless denial of the facts," and he demanded that the Congressman "publicly withdraw the allegations he made."[125]

Campaign themes

2016

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

“
  • 2nd Amendment: Supporting our constitutionally recognized right to keep and bear arms is an honor I do not take lightly. I know that the Second Amendment is not negotiable to the people of Oklahoma’s First District.
  • Obamacare: Stopping Obamacare is one of my top priorities in Congress. In March 2010, then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said of Obamacare, “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it.” Unfortunately, she was right. Democrats blindly passed Obamacare, and now Americans are suffering the consequences every day.
  • Defense & National Security: Congress’s number one job is to protect American national security. The Constitution invests the Federal government with the responsibility to “provide for the common defense.” Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the enumerated power to fund our military. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), I see my responsibility as ensuring our military has the necessary resources to deter enemies and prevail in conflict. As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, I have particular insight and appreciation for our troops and the sacrifices they make along with their families.
  • Spending Cuts & Debt: I believe free markets, economic mobility, and equal opportunity are the drivers of innovation, entrepreneurship, and capital formation. Every piece of legislation should be considered in light of the impact on these drivers.
  • Energy: Reliable, affordable energy is at the heart of nearly every aspect of modern American life. Business and the economy are dependent on abundant energy, and energy issues critically impact U.S. foreign and domestic affairs. American energy policy should be a true all-of-the-above strategy to promote energy security.

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, Bridenstine's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $-174,145 to $129,849. That averages to $-22,148, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Bridenstine ranked as the 422nd most wealthy representative in 2012.[127] Between 2011 and 2012, Bridenstine's calculated net worth[128] decreased by an average of 157 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[129]

Jim Bridenstine Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2011$38,788
2012$−22,148
Growth from 2011 to 2012:−157%
Average annual growth:−157%[130]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[131]

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). Bridenstine received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Oil & Gas industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Oklahoma's 1st Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[132]

From 2011-2014, 33.53 percent of Bridenstine's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[133]
