Issues

National security

Rand Paul Patriot Act filibuster

On May 20, 2015, Senator Rand Paul (Ky.) conducted a nearly 11 hour filibuster of the renewal of provisions in the USA PATRIOT ACT. Paul specifically argued against the mass collection of metadata by the National Security Agency and warrantless wiretapping. He asked Senate leadership to allow members of Congress to debate reauthorizing the USA PATRIOT ACT and propose amendments to HR 2048 - the USA FREEDOM Act of 2015, rather than simply casting an up or down vote on the legislation. Wyden was one of 10 senators who asked Paul questions during the filibuster.

Ron Wyden did not complete Ballotpedia's 2022 Candidate Connection survey.

2016

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

“
  • Jobs & Economy: Too many middle-class families in Oregon are hurting. In urban areas, the cost of living is skyrocketing, while rural areas struggle to create and retain jobs. Ron is focused squarely on promoting policies that create jobs, grow paychecks, and improve the economic security of Oregon families. That means overhauling the tax code to promote growth and investment, making trade more fair and opening markets for goods made in Oregon, investing in clean energy produced in Oregon, and promoting innovation in every sector from tech to agriculture.
  • Health Care: Ron believes access to quality health care is a right for all Americans. Throughout his career in Congress, Ron has fought to expand health coverage to uninsured families, support reproductive health care, expand Medicare and Medicaid, and defend Medicare against relentless attacks and attempts to dismantle the program.
  • Equality: Ron is a lifelong ally of the LGBT community and has fought for years to expand protections against LGBT discrimination on the job, in public accommodations, and housing. In 1996, Ron was one of the first U.S. Senators to declare his support for marriage equality.
  • Protecting Americans and their Privacy: The American people have a covenant with our veterans – one that Ron believes we are duty-bound to keep. Throughout his career, Ron has worked to honor the sacrifices of our veterans by promoting veterans hiring, fixing the problems at the VA, giving veterans access to greater health care choices, and making sure that mental health and suicide prevention services are made readily available to those returning from combat. Ron has particularly fought to ensure that members of the Guard and Reserve receive the same benefits as all other combat veterans.

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, Wyden's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $5,857,046 to $8,731,004. That averages to $7,294,025, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senate members in 2012 of $13,566,333.90. Wyden ranked as the 20th most wealthy senator in 2012.[172] Between 2004 and 2012, Wyden‘s calculated net worth[173] increased by an average of 38 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[174]

Ron Wyden Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$1,789,113
2012$7,294,025
Growth from 2004 to 2012:308%
Average annual growth:38%[175]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[176]

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, Wyden was the chair of the Committee on Finance and chair of the Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness. Wyden received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.

From 1989-2014, 6.62 percent of Wyden's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[177]
