The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[139][140] It also cut the food stamp program an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[140] Cassidy voted with 161 other Republican representatives in favor of the bill. 2014 BudgetOn January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[141][142] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582-page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[142] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[143] It increased the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel by 1 percent, increased Head Start funding for early childhood education by $1 billion, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and protected the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts.

The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period.

National security
Letter to Iran
On March 9, 2015, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote a letter to Iran's leadership, warning them that signing a nuclear deal with the Obama administration without congressional approval constituted only an executive agreement. The letter also stated that "The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time." The letter was signed by 47 Republican members of the Senate. Cassidy was one of the 47 who signed the letter. No Democrats signed it.[153]
Members of the Obama administration and of Congress reacted to the letter.[154] Vice President Joe Biden said of the letter, "In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which senators wrote directly to advise another country — much less a longtime foreign adversary — that the president does not have the constitutional authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them."[155]

Media
- See also: Media involvement in the race
Some speculated that the Landrieu – Cassidy runoff election would receive significant satellite spending and national media attention because the winner of the race was expected to decide which party would gain control of the Senate.[157] The race, however, was less competitive and contentious because Republicans secured control of the United States Senate on November 4, 2014. At least seven groups ran ads against Landrieu tying her to Obama and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D) and criticizing her for her stances on gun control, abortion, the Affordable Care Act and immigration. Cassidy also ran ads promising to oppose Obama's energy policies, his "amnesty plan" and the Affordable Care Act. Landrieu's first ad, "Whoa," featured Cassidy giving a speech that the narrator called "incoherent." Landrieu also released ads that criticized Cassidy's positions on social security, raising the minimum wage and equal pay for women and accused him of cutting $86 million dollars from Louisiana's schools to pay for a tax break for millionaires. Louisiana's Democratic Central Committee also ran a radio spot for Landrieu. The narrator in the ad said, "They have shown our president so much disrespect. From playing the race card in commercials, talking about trying to impeach him, to lying about the progress the country has made under his leadership. The president needs you to have you have his back, now more than ever."[158]

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, Cassidy's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $777,060 and $2,407,000. That averages to $, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Cassidy ranked as the 171st most wealthy representative in 2012.[162] Between 2004 and 2012, Cassidy's calculated net worth[163] decreased by an average of 4 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[164]
Bill Cassidy Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2007 | $2,031,297 |
2012 | $1,592,030 |
Growth from 2007 to 2012: | −22% |
Average annual growth: | −4%[165] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[166] |
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). Cassidy received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.
From 2007-2014, 25.14 percent of Cassidy's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[167]
