Issues
Ethics
Loan investigation
In 2010, the FBI began investigating a loan Meeks received from a friend in 2007. Meeks did not report the loan, violating U.S. House ethics rules. He also was unable to provide paperwork on the loan's specifics, only paying the lender the loan amount plus interest after the FBI started investigations.[164]
Spending habits
Use of campaign funds for personal expenses
In 2008, Meeks agreed to pay a total of $63,000 in fines when the Federal Election Commission (FEC) found that he had used campaign funds for personal expenses in 2003 and 2004. The expenses included "$6,200 on a personal trainer and $9,800 to lease and repair a vehicle that Mr. Meeks could not demonstrate was used for any campaign work."[165]
Tourismus
Meeks has consistently filed as one of the poorest senators in New York, but outlets such as the New York Times and New York Post claim his travel and spending habits could contradict that status. Meeks has been criticized for potentially using taxpayer money since 2007 to take unnecessarily expensive trips in the name of fundraising. Locations such as "Hotel Playa Bonita in Panama; the MGM Grand, Mirage, Monte Carlo and Bellagio hotels in Las Vegas; the Buccaneer Hotel in St. Croix, V.I.; and multiple hotels in South Beach and San Juan" were listed among the questionable destinations. The New York Post also listed 2014 trips such as his week-long visit to Morocco, Rabat and Casablanca. Additionally, in 2013 Meeks received negative attention after attending an all-expenses-paid conference in Azerbaijan along with nine other lawmakers and 32 staff members. Although the trip was officially sponsored by the Council of Turkic-American Associations, when it came under investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics, it became apparent that participants received expensive gifts and that part of the trip was secretly funded by Azerbaijan's oil company.[166][167][165]
Meeks has said that all of his expenditures and trips were in line with FEC regulations. "I do fund-raisers where the people with the money are. I am not going to raise the money in my district that I need to be a player here in Washington," Meeks said.[166][167][165]
House purchase and cash flow
In 2006, Meeks also received criticism for buying a large home in Queens for $830,000 while stating that he lived "paycheck to paycheck" like many citizens of New York. At the time, Meeks received a yearly salary of $174,000. His wife was earning a salary of $79,000 as of 2007. In 2009, Meeks indicated that "he had no checking or savings account worth more than $5,000, or any investment account worth more than $1,000."[166][167][165]

2012
Meeks ran for re-election in New York's newly drawn 5th Congressional District in 2012. Three candidates challenged Meeks in the June 26 Democratic primary. Former city councilman Allan Jennings Jr., small-business owner Joseph Marthone and recent law-school graduate Mike Scala all hoped to defeat Meeks for the Democratic Party nomination.[171] Meeks won the primary and advanced to the general election on November 6, 2012.[172] He was re-elected on November 6, 2012.[173]
Jennings also ran in the Republican primary, where he was unopposed. He considered himself to be willing to "work with anybody who’s going to help this district," which he said set him apart from Meeks.[171]
The 29-year-old Scala graduated from law school on June 1, 2012, just a few weeks before the June 26 primary. He said he was most concerned with helping the lower and middle class.[174]
Marthone named education as the way to solve the nation's problems.[175]
At a forum in early June, the three challengers and a representative of Meeks discussed issues of importance. Jennings called for an end to the NYPD "stop and frisk" policy. Marthone pledged to fight hydrofracking and airplane noise pollution. Scala criticized Meeks for supporting the Budget Control Act, which took away subsidized loans for graduate students.[171] Meeks was busy in Washington at the time of the forum, but his representative said that most of the issues brought up were city and state issues, not national ones -- indicating that the challengers were not prepared for federal politics.[171]

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, Meeks' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $0 and $0. That averages to $0, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Meeks ranked as the 411th most wealthy representative in 2012.[185] Between 2004 and 2012, Meeks' calculated net worth[186] decreased by an average of 13 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[187]
Gregory Meeks Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $79,612 |
2012 | $0.00 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | −100% |
Average annual growth: | −13%[188] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[189] |
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). Meeks received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Securities & Investment industry.
From 1997-2014, 34.37 percent of Meeks' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[190]
