The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[127][128] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[128] DelBene voted with 88 other Democratic representatives in favor of the bill. 2014 BudgetOn January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[129][130] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[130] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[131] It included a 1 percent increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency, and the protection of the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts.

On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[132] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[133] DelBene voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[134] The shutdown ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[135] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. DelBene voted for HR 2775.[136] In a statement released October 1, 2013, DelBene said, “For as long as this unnecessary shutdown occurs, hundreds of thousands of public servants will be working without pay. When sequestration began earlier this year, I returned 8.2% of my salary back to the Treasury, and for the duration of this shutdown, I will return the remainder of my personal salary as well."[137] Farm Bill
DelBene voted against the July 11, 2013 Farm Bill. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[138] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[139] King AmendmentDelBene signed a letter sent to Collin Peterson in August 2013, asking him to keep Steve King's amendment out of the final Farm Bill.[140] The "Protect Interstate Commerce Act" amendment prevents states from applying their own laws on agricultural products to agricultural products from another state.[141] King introduced the amendment in response to a law in California, requiring a larger size cage for egg-producing chickens. King represents Iowa, which is a large egg producer. ImmigrationMorton Memos ProhibitionDelBene voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain individuals residing in the United States without legal status.[142] The vote largely followed party lines.[143] HealthcareRepealing ObamacareDelBene has voted against all attempts to repeal or delay the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[144] Social issuesAbortionDelBene voted against HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196. The purpose of the bill was to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[145] Previous congressional sessionsFiscal cliffDelBene voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003, while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels.

2012
DelBene won the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Washington's 1st District.[156] She won the nomination as a Democrat, defeating Darcy Burner (D), Darshan Rauniyar (D), Laura Ruderman (D), Steve Hobbs (D), John Koster (R), and Larry Ishmael (I), in the August 7 primary. The top two vote-getters in the primary, regardless of party, appeared on the general election ballot.[157] She and John Koster advanced past the blanket primary and faced off in the general election on November 6, 2012.[158]
A large field of Democrats competed for the party nod, while county councilman John Koster was unopposed on the Republican ticket. Early polling put Koster well ahead of Democratic frontrunner Darcy Burner. Burner, a progressive activist, capitalized on anti-wealthy sentiment to pull ahead of former executive DelBene.[159]
In late July, however, an ad blitz from DelBene pushed her past Burner into the second spot behind Koster in the polls.[160]$2.3 million of DelBene's campaign funds came from her own bank account, although she raised $500,000 from other donors.[161] Burner said DelBene tried to buy the election, but DelBene, who had a net worth of $53 million at the time, said she joined her supporters in investing in her campaign.[162][160]
At a July event, the candidates had an opportunity to name their highest priority. Burner raised concerns about Super PACs and voiced support of the Affordable Care Act. DelBene said she would focus on job creation. Darshan Rauniyar and Steve Hobbs promised to bring a new face to politics. Laura Ruderman stressed greater health care access. The only Republican in the race, Koster emphasized the need for smaller government.[163]
Adding another layer of financial interest was a Super PAC run by one candidate's parent. Laura Ruderman's mother ran Progress for Washington, which by July 31 had spent almost $200,000 against DelBene.[160][164]

Special election
DelBene also won a special election to fill retiring representative Jay Inslee's seat for a one-month term before the 2012-2014 term began.[166] The special election took place on the same primary and general election dates as the full term. Washington was redistricted in 2012; the short-term replacement was elected by the pre-2012 district, and the representative for 2012-2014 was elected by the newly redrawn district.[167]
DelBene joined full-term challengers Darcy Burner (D), Laura Ruderman (D), Darshan Rauniyar (D) and John Koster (R), along with six candidates only running for the one-month term: J. Byron Holcomb (D), Brian Berry (D), Brian Sullivan (D), Ruth Morrison (D), Steven Gerdes (R) and Bob Champion (I).[168] As in the full-term election, the top two vote-getters in the August 7 primary went on the general election ballot.[157]
2010
In a largely self-funded campaign, DelBene challenged Dave Reichert in 2010. Reichert defeated DelBene on November 2, 2010.[159][169]

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, DelBene's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $23,908,063 to $84,595,000. That averages to $54,251,531.50, which is higher than the average net worth of Democratic House members in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. DelBene ranked as the 12th most wealthy representative in 2012.[172] Between 2011 and 2012, DelBene's calculated net worth decreased from $54,335,684 to $54,251,531. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[173]
Suzan DelBene Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2011 | $54,335,684 |
2012 | $54,251,531 |
Growth from 2011 to 2012: | −0% |
Average annual growth: | −0%[174] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[175] |
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). DelBene received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Computers/Internet industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Washington's 1st Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[176]
From 2009-2014, 15.17 percent of DelBene's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[177]
