Joseph Crowley (Democratic Party) was a member of the U.S. House, representing New York's 14th Congressional District. He assumed office on January 3, 2013. He left office on January 3, 2019.

Crowley (Working Families Party, Democratic Party) ran for re-election to the U.S. House to represent New York's 14th Congressional District. Crowley (Working Families Party) lost in the general election on November 6, 2018. He lost in the Democratic primary on June 26, 2018. He advanced from the Working Families Party primary on June 26, 2018.

During his re-election run, Crowley faced his first primary challenger since 2004, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Stark fundraising differences and notable endorsements on both sides fueled debate over which candidate had the most progressive credentials. Crowley was defeated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) in the June 26 primary. Crowley's name remained on the general election ballot because he filed for election on the Working Families and Women's Equality Party lines through fusion voting. On July 12, 2018, Crowley stated that he was not campaigning for the general election.[1]

Before serving in Congress, Crowley was a representative in the New York State Assembly. He chaired the House Democratic Caucus and the Queens Democratic Party as of 2018. Roll Call included Crowley in its list of six Democrats most likely to become House Democratic leader if Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) stepped down.[2]

Crowley's campaign website highlighted his leadership position in the House going into the election and his intent to counter Republicans in Congress: "As Chairman of the Democratic Caucus, I’m focused on organizing resistance to the extreme GOP agenda that is threatening our middle class. Congress should be working on increasing access to health care and housing, protecting seniors’ hard-earned benefits, and creating greater opportunity for students and families."

Crowley had endorsements from NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood; Giffords: Courage to Fight Gun Violence and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America; over 20 labor unions, including the New York State AFL-CIO and the Communications Workers of America; and several state legislators and New York City Council members.[3]

Before redistricting in 2012, Crowley had previously served the 7th District.

Full history


Campaign themes

2018

Campaign website

The following themes were found on Crowley's official campaign website.

Healthcare
Health care is right for all Americans – not a privilege for the wealthy. Joe is an outspoken supporter of Obamacare and an impassioned advocate for local health care facilities in the Bronx and Queens. He’s a co-sponsor of the Medicare for All Act, which would dramatically increase health care coverage in this country. He was a leading advocate for a permanent Children’s Health Insurance Program to ensure that vulnerable children have access to a doctor. Joe even demanded that Republican lawmakers give up their own health care before they stripped access away from hard-working Americans.

Equal Pay for Women
Women deserve equal pay for equal work – period. Joe is a strong advocate for equal pay and other measures to ensure that are women are treated with dignity and respect in the work place. He is a co-sponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, which strengthens the Equal Pay Act and helps ensure women earn a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work.

Immigration
As the son and grandson of immigrants, Joe is proud to represent one of the most diverse congressional districts in the nation. Joe is fighting to protect immigrants from harassment by federal authorities and is defending immigrant communities against hate crimes. He supports fixing our broken immigration system by creating a system that would provide an earned path to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants, keep the best and brightest here, and secure our borders.

Gun Control
Gun violence is an epidemic in our country. Joe has consistently opposed the NRA’s radical positions on gun ownership and he’s fighting to crack down on illegal firearms from being brought into New York.

Education
Joe is firmly committed to preparing all young Americans for successful careers by advocating for public education, championing increased federal support for Head Start and other pre-kindergarden programs, and fighting to maintain critical financial aid, such as Pell Grants, so more students can afford a college education. Joe is also committed to expanding vocational training and on-the-job training programs so that all Americans can find careers that work best for them.

Affordability
Joe authored the Rent Relief Act to help working families and seniors afford to live in increasingly expensive cities like New York City, by providing tax relief to renters struggling to afford housing. Without assistance, men and women will be forced out of their communities – diminishing what makes Queens and the Bronx great.

Crime and Safety
Joe established the Crime Stoppers program to support local organizations working to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. This program has delivered more than $1 million dollars in federal funding to the Bronx-Queens community for graffiti clean-up, after-school programming, and civic patrol efforts.

911 and National Security
In the wake of 9/11, Joe stepped to defend New York City and protect our brave first responders. He was instrumental in passing the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act to provide 9/11 workers with health care, and led efforts to create the Urban Area Security Initiative that has steered more than $950 million cdollars in funding to make New York’s airports, train stations, and ports more secure.[137]

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, Crowley's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $88,027 and $497,000. That averages to $292,513.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Crowley ranked as the 327th most wealthy representative in 2012.[139] Between 2004 and 2012, Crowley's calculated net worth[140] increased by an average of 16 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[141]

Joseph Crowley Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$127,623
2012$292,513
Growth from 2004 to 2012:129%
Average annual growth:16%[142]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[143]

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). Crowley received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Securities & Investment industry.

From 1997-2014, 35.25 percent of Crowley's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[144]
