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.

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.[137] 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. Fleischmann voted against HR 2775.[138] ImmigrationMorton Memos ProhibitionFleischmann supported House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order.

The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196.

All Democrats voted against the resolution.[144][145] Previous congressional sessionsFiscal cliffFleischmann voted against 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. He was 1 of 151 Republicans that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[146] |
Issues
Syria intervention
As of September 3, 2013, Fleischmann had not decided if he supported strikes on Syria. He said, "So far, the overwhelming opinion of my constituents—and this is subject to change—is to not get involved in a military way in Syria. I'm still listening; I'm still asking people to call in. This is a very important vote, and this is absolutely something that I'm going to continue to do up until the time of the vote—listening to my constituents." He added, "We're in a region of the world that is extremely dangerous. It is literally a tinderbox, and the unforeseen consequences without a plan or with a plan could lead to an escalation of hostilities we can't control. That gives me pause, hesitancy and concern as I approach this process."[147]

Race background
Second meeting
Wamp ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent Tennessee's 3rd District. He was defeated by incumbent Charles Fleischmann in the Republican primary.[153]
Endorsement controversy
Dairy magnate Scottie Mayfield told the TimesFreePress.com that two days before he endorsed Fleischmann, Wamp came to his home and secretly recorded a conversation they had about who Mayfield was going to support. Mayfield said Wamp sent him the following text message at 7:14 p.m. on March 15, 2014, after their meeting: "To protect myself, I have recorded my conversation with you and Lisa. I hope you will honor your commitment and not get involved in this race. Thank you sir."[154] Mayfield added, "I never dreamed somebody would walk into my house with a bug on. I don't want to say negative things about people. But I just don't think that's correct behavior."[154]

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, Fleischmann's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,996,004 to $3,059,996. That averages to $2,528,000, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Fleischmann ranked as the 124th most wealthy representative in 2012.[163] Between 2009 and 2012, Fleischmann's calculated net worth[164] decreased by an average of 6 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[165]
Charles Fleischmann Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2009 | $3,050,028 |
2012 | $2,528,000 |
Growth from 2009 to 2012: | −17% |
Average annual growth: | −6%[166] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[167] |
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). Fleischmann received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Leadership PACs industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[168]
From 2009-2014, 22.32 percent of Fleischmann's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[169]
