Campaign themes

The following issues were listed on Jones' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Economy and Jobs: It is essential that Congress reform our regulatory, legal, tax, trade and fiscal environment so that U.S. employers can grow their businesses and put unemployed Americans back to work. I am committed to that cause, and vote accordingly on the House floor.
  • Budget Spending and Taxes: Federal spending is out of control. America is over $15 trillion in debt, and under our current President, federal budget deficits are running over $1 trillion a year. I have consistently voted against the big spending bills that got us into this mess, even when most of my party supported them.
  • Values: America was built upon Judeo-Christian values, and these values should be protected. During my years in Congress I have been a steadfast supporter of traditional marriage, the unborn, and the free exercise of religion. I am an active senior member of both the Values Action Team (VAT) and the Pro-Life Caucus.
  • Veterans: I believe those who wear or have worn the uniform of this nation deserve everything promised to them because they and their families have earned it defending our country. For my entire public life, I have been a tireless advocate for our veterans, their families, and all active and reserve personnel.
  • 2nd Amendment Protection: The right to keep and bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. The federal government should protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to own firearms. During my years in Congress, I have been a consistent voice on behalf of gun owners and have opposed legislation that seeks to chip away at the constitutional rights of Americans.

Race background

As of a week before the primary vote, the following two national organizations spent over $1 million to support Griffin's challenge against the long-time incumbent:

Ads that were run by these groups in the district emphasized "Jones’s isolationist foreign-policy views." One ad said, "Once upon a time, Congressman Walter Jones was a conservative, but he’s changed." It concluded, "Walter Jones was right for North Carolina, but he’s changed. Isn’t it time your vote changed as well?"[114]

The Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI) was founded in 2010. Its involvement in the 3rd Congressional District primary ballot in North Carolina was its first foray into a Republican primary. According to the group's executive director, "There’s a pro-Israel candidate and a not-pro-Israel candidate, and so we favor the pro-Israel candidate. Jones’s Israel record is a product of his slide over the past several years into the Ron Paul fever swamps, to the point where a few months ago he praised America’s leading 9/11-truther and conspiracy nutcase, Alex Jones. Republicans in his district should know that they have a better option."[114]

Brian Baker, the president of Ending Spending, said, "For us, it was an easy and obvious choice to oppose Mr. Jones. He has voted with President Obama more than any other Republican in the House of Representatives."[114]

Endorsements

Jones received the following endorsements:

2012

Jones won re-election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing North Carolina's 3rd District. Jones defeated Frank Palombo in the Republican primary on May 8, 2012.[117] He defeated Erik Anderson in the general election on November 6, 2012.

According to a March 30, 2012, article from The Washington Post noting the top 10 incumbents who could have lost their primaries, Jones was the 10th most likely incumbent to lose his primary.[96] The article noted Jones' record of voting against his party on major issues and competition in the primary from his challenger, former New Bern Police Chief Frank Palombo.[96]

The Washington Post listed the House of Representatives elections in North Carolina in 2012 as one of the 10 states that could have determined whether Democrats retook the House or Republicans held their majority in 2013.[118] North Carolina was rated eighth on the list.[118][119]

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, Jones' net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $139,014 and $487,000. That averages to $313,007, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Jones ranked as the 313th most wealthy representative in 2012.[146] Between 2004 and 2012, Jones' calculated net worth[147] decreased by an average of 3 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[148]

Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[150]
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). Jones received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Health Professionals industry.

From 1991-2014, 20.2 percent of Jones' career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[151]
