Meng voted for HR 2775.[158] ImmigrationMorton Memos ProhibitionMeng voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order.

I believe the inspections procedures set forth are flawed."[163]

2012
Meng was elected to the U.S. House from New York's 6th Congressional District in 2012.[168][169] She defeated fellow New York Assembly member Rory Lancman, city councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley and physician Robert Mittman in the June 26 Democratic primary.[170] Meng defeated Lancman (Working Families), Daniel Halloran (R) and Evergreen Chou (G) in the November 6, 2012, general election.
Elizabeth Crowley's cousin, U.S. Representative and Queens Democratic Party Chairman Joseph Crowley, endorsed Meng over his relative. As a local Democratic leader, the congressman was heavily invested in the race; analysts suggested he would benefit from backing a winner after he endorsed a candidate in 2010 who went on to lose to Republican Bob Turner in an upset.[171]
Regardless, the party was not expected to lose the seat. Joe Crowley's interest in supporting Meng was more about bolstering the "perceived strengths" of the local Democratic organization, analysts said.[171] Meng had the cash advantage, as well as the race advantage in a 40-percent Asian district. She was endorsed by The New York Times and EMILY's List,[171] among others.[172]
Lancman made a race of it, however. He was endorsed by the New York Daily News and the Queens Chronicle, and strongly pursued the Jewish vote.[171] He and Meng were involved in intense campaigning, each sharply criticizing the other.[173][174] Lancman sent out a mass mailing decrying Meng's and Crowley's stances on Israel and national defense.[174]
Lancman also accused Meng of not supporting New York Assembly legislation to increase the tax on millionaires. Meng said she was instrumental in passing the measure, and some members of the Assembly leadership claimed that both Lancman and Meng played a significant roll in the tax bill.[173]

2012
Meng listed some of her campaign themes on her website:[178]
- "Creating jobs for hardworking families in Queens will be my top priority when I get to Congress. While we avoided plunging into a second Great Depression following the 2008 financial crisis, economic growth is still too slow and our unemployment rate is still too high. I have a clear vision and 4-point plan for bringing jobs back to Queens:
- Immediate federal aid to local and state governments to hire more teachers, police officers and firefighters.
- Federal transportation dollars – and transportation-related jobs – to Queens. I will seek appointment to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure in order to achieve this objective.
- Tax credits for small businesses that hire new workers.
- Investment in technological advancement and initiatives that will help Queens thrive as a technology corridor.
- As a Member of Congress, I will oppose the right-wing assault on the health care and senior citizen programs that are so crucial to the fabric of our society. I believe that every citizen should have access to quality, affordable health care; that individuals with pre-existing conditions should not be denied coverage; and that young people should continue to be able to stay on their parents’ insurance until they are 26.
- We must also pass sensible, pro law enforcement gun legislation. In Congress I will fight for legislation:
- Requiring all new semiautomatic pistols be capable of microstamping ammunition so that investigators can use bullet shell casings to identify perpetrators of gun violence;
- Ensuring that all individuals prohibited from buying a firearm are uploaded to the national instant criminal background check system;
- Requiring a background check for every firearm sale; and
- Requiring employees of dealers in firearms submit to criminal background checks."
Her priorities in Congress involved building up the transportation system and tourism in Queens, as well as raising taxes on the wealthy to allow for hiring more firefighters and police officers in the borough.[179]

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, Mengs' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $981,046 and $3,247,998. That averages to $2,114,522, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Meng ranked as the 143rd most wealthy representative in 2012.[180] Between 2011 and 2012, Meng's calculated net worth[181] decreased by an average of 8 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[182]
Grace Meng Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2011 | $2,293,644 |
2012 | $2,114,522 |
Growth from 2011 to 2012: | −8% |
Average annual growth: | −8%[183] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[184] |
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). Meng received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Real Estate industry.
From 2011-2014, 17.9 percent of Meng's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[185]
