Campaign themes

2016

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

  • Our National Defense: The number one charge of the Federal government is National security. As your Representative, I have consistently voted for stronger border security, increased pay for our troops, and against policies abroad and here at home that make us less safe. Prosperity in America begins with a safe America.
  • Creating jobs in your neighborhood: As a successful small business owner, I can speak from first hand experience about the struggles of owning your own business. During my 3 years in Washington, I have worked tirelessly to update our community's infrastructure so that we can attract, retain and expand jobs here. I will continue to get government out of your way by tackling overreaching regulations, fighting for a fairer tax code, and supporting legislation that makes America more competitive.
  • Putting 'care' back into healthcare: For too long, we have relied on government or insurance to take care of our medical needs. It's time to put our care back between you and your doctor. This begins with the full repeal of Obamacare. We will replace our broken system with a user friendly system based on the free market. Your premiums will go down, your quality of care will go up, and any pre-existing conditions will be covered.
  • Serving our Veterans: I am proud to have delivered over $1 million in benefits and back-pay to our local veterans. But we are just getting started. As your representative, we will continue to not just fight for our veterans and their families, we will continue our work to reform the entire VA system. Our veterans deserve our best and we will deliver.
  • Getting an A+ Education: As the author of the TEACH Act, I am wholeheartedly against common core. Our teachers and parents know how best to educate our kids, which is why I have proposed getting rid of the Department of Education. Let's keep our tax dollars here and make education a priority. It's time to give our kids the competitive edge in an increasingly globalized world. This includes increased support for vocational trades and non-traditional education models.

2014

On his campaign website, Yoho listed his main campaign themes. They included:[150]

  • Jobs and the Economy: "The mistakes made by politicians, financial institutions, lending houses and their lobbyists should be remembered and never repeated as the nation strives to recover. No single solution will foster the change our country and state need but we can help create an environment of certainty for all businesses. We can create it by simplifying the tax code, repealing Obamacare and taking a scalpel to all the job killing rules, regulations and mandates."
  • American energy: "We need to drill here, drill now and drill responsibly. We must build the Keystone Pipeline and decrease regulations on energy companies to utilize our Nation’s natural resources. In addition, I will support all forms of alternative energy provided they are market driven and are not subsidized by the government. Finally, it’s time to abolish the Department of Energy."
  • Spending and our national debt: "Spending more than we take in, printing money at rates that devalue our dollar and too many taxpayer dollars being sent overseas as foreign aid are all adding to our economic uncertainty. I will not only evaluate existing federal programs but act to end wasteful projects and programs immediately. We must stop unnecessary spending. The bottom line is that the U.S. government cannot continue to live outside of its means."
  • National defense: "Every single legislator needs to support our military. If we are to expect our troops to protect America at all costs, then we must guarantee to do likewise. By allocating the proper resources to our troops we can maximize their protection while serving our nation. We must also care for them after they complete their service. We should recognize the sacrifice that military families make while a loved one serves this nation. Finally, we need to stand with our allies and never waiver in our support."
  • Immigration: "We need to secure the border. We have not harnessed the technology, infrastructure and man power to protect our borders and we must do so immediately. I will introduce a workable guest worker program that provides immigrant workers with a national ID card and mandates they pay taxes through a national tax ID number. Finally, the process to become a citizen needs to be completely streamlined and English needs to be recognized as the official language."
  • Taxes: "Our tax code needs to be simplified. I support the Fair Tax. At the minimum, the corporate tax rate should be lowered and locked in for an extended period of time that would allow businesses to make medium to long term investment plans. The estate and gift tax must be repealed."
  • Term Limits: "In addition to personally pledging to only serving 4 terms (8 years) in the House of Representatives, I would support a constitutional amendment that would enact congressional term limits."
  • Abortion: "I am pro-life. As a Christian, I believe life begins at conception and I oppose tax payer funding of abortion."
  • 2nd Amendment/Right to bear arms: "The right to bear arms is a birth right and should never be threatened. I will fight to preserve our Constitutional rights. I am proud to say I hold an A rating from the NRA."

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, Yoho's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $970,359 and $2,503,347. That averages to $1,736,853, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Yoho ranked as the 161st most wealthy representative in 2012.[151] Between 2011 and 2012, Yoho's calculated net worth[152] decreased by an average of 17 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[153]

Ted Yoho Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2011$2,095,492
2012$1,736,853
Growth from 2011 to 2012:−17%
Average annual growth:−17%[154]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[155]

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). Yoho received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Retired industry.

From 2011-2014, 27.63 percent of Yoho's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[156]
