American response in Syria

See also: United States involvement in Syria

On Sept. 4, 2013, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, of which Udall is a member, passed a resolution authorizing President Barack Obama's proposed military strikes against Syria. The resolution was approved by the committee despite Udall's protestations. One of only two holdouts on the committee, along with Chris Murphy (D-CT), Udall took up the cause of dissuading his colleagues from pursuing such action on his campaign site homepage: "These weapons could one day be turned against the U.S. and our allies. Instead, we should focus on humanitarian assistance to the Syrian people and diplomatic efforts to end this horrific civil war," he stated. Udall then directly addressed his fellow members of Congress with a plea to not "risk putting weapons in the hands of groups who could use them against us and our allies in the future." Udall also added a prompt to sign an electronic petition titled "I stand with Senator Tom Udall. Don’t intervene in Syria by sending weapons."[126]

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, Udall's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,674,044 and $4,088,000. That averages to $2,881,022, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic senators in 2012 of $13,566,333.90. Udall ranked as the 47th most wealthy senator in 2012.[135] Between 2004 and 2012, Udall's calculated net worth[136] decreased by an average of 2 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[137]

Tom Udall Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth

2012$2,881,022
Growth from 2004 to 2012:−12%
Average annual growth:−2%[138]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[139]

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). Udall received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.

From 1989-2014, 26.76 percent of Udall's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[140]

Superdelegates in 2016 were automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention, meaning that, unlike regular delegates, they were not elected to this position. Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents. All superdelegates were free to support any presidential candidate of their choosing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[154]

Delegate allocation

Democratic Party Logo.png

New Mexico had 43 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 34 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[155][156]

Nine party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[155][157]
