ThePersonal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of theU.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based oncongressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available byOpenSecrets.org, McLeod's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $-48,997 and $414,999. That averages to$183,001, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. McLeod ranked as the 351st most wealthy representative in 2012.[8] Between 2011 and 2012, McLeod's calculated net worth[9] decreased by an average of 59 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[10]
| Gloria Negrete McLeod Yearly Net Worth | |
|---|---|
| Year | Average Net Worth |
| 2011 | $441,963 |
| 2012 | $183,001 |

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 theFederal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated byOpenSecrets.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). McLeod received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by theHealth Professionals industry.
