Issues
Veterans bill
Peters took to the House floor on July 23, 2014, to push for action by the House on the "Veterans Access to Care through Choice, Accountability, and Transparency Act of 2014." The bill passed the Senate 93-3 and provided a comprehensive response to failures of the Department of Veterans Affairs. It increasde access to care and accountability of staff at VA facilities. Peters said, "San Diegans want to see action and they want it now. They are rightly dumbfounded that Congress continues to play partisan games, instead of passing the Senate's comprehensive solution -and beginning to provide some relief for our nation's heroes. It is no secret that the Department of Veterans Affairs has failed our veterans, and it is time to start fixing the problems."[165]

Peters was one of the initial 14 members of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Frontline Program. The program was designed to help protect vulnerable Democratic incumbents heading into the 2016 election.[168]
2014
Incumbent Scott Peters won re-election to California's 52nd Congressional District in 2014. The race was a battleground district in 2014 due to the low margin of victory for Democrats in the last election and last two presidential elections. Incumbent Scott Peters (D) and Carl DeMaio triumphed in the blanket primary over Kirk Jorgensen (R) and Fred Simon (R). The general election race between Peters and DeMaio remained too close to call for several days after the election. The Associated Press called the race for Peters late on November 7, 2014, but DeMaio did not concede the race until November 9, 2014, due to the fact that there were still between 10,000 to 15,000 ballots left to be counted.[169][170]

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, Peters' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $27,518,090 and $197,415,991. That averages to $112,467,040, which is higher than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Peters ranked as the 5th most wealthy representative in 2012.[177] Between 2011 and 2012, Peters' calculated net worth[178] increased by an average of 22 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[179]
Scott Peters Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2011 | $92,218,778 |
2012 | $112,467,040 |
Growth from 2011 to 2012: | 22% |
Average annual growth: | 22%[180] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[181] |
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). Peters received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.
From 2011-2014, 17.5 percent of Peters' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[182]
