On March 24, 2022, a federal jury in Los Angeles found Fortenberry guilty of one count of scheming to falsify and conceal material facts and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators. Each count carries a potential five-year prison sentence.[151][152] United States District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld Jr. scheduled a sentencing hearing for June 28. Fortenberry said he would appeal the verdict.[153][154] On March 26, 2022, Fortenberry announced his resignation from Congress in a letter to the U.S. House.

On October 19, 2021, Fortenberry was indicted by a federal grand jury on one count of scheming to falsify and conceal material facts and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators.

[157] In a YouTube video proceeding the press release, Fortenberry stated that he was unaware that the contributions to his campaign had been made and that he had cooperated with investigators. [158] Fortenberry officially pleaded not guilty on October 20, 2021.[159] On the same day, Fortenberry resigned from his congressional committee seats.[160] The trial date for this case was set for March 15, 2022.[161]

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, Fortenberry's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $104,006 and $394,999. That averages to $249,502.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Fortenberry ranked as the 332nd most wealthy representative in 2012.[165] Between 2004 and 2012, Fortenberry's calculated net worth[166] decreased by an average of 6 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[167]
Jeff Fortenberry Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $515,963 |
2012 | $249,502 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | −52% |
Average annual growth: | −6%[168] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[169] |
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). Fortenberry received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Leadership PACs industry.
From 2003-2014, 27.42 percent of Fortenberry's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[170]
