Elections
2018
On April 2, 2018, Esty announced she would not seek re-election in 2018. The announcement came after she was criticized for her handling of sexual harassment allegations by her former chief of staff. She wrote in a Facebook post, “I have determined that it is in the best interest of my constituents and my family to end my time in Congress at the end of this year and not seek re-election. Too many women have been harmed by harassment in the workplace. In the terrible situation in my office, I could have and should have done better."[1][2]

2012
Esty won election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House to represent Connecticut's 5th District. Esty defeated Christopher Donovan and Dan Roberti in the Democratic primary.[120] She then defeated Andrew Roraback (R) and John Pistone (I) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[121]
Following the Democratic primary on August 14, 2012, in which Esty defeated Christopher Donovan, the endorsed candidate of the Democratic party, discussion speculated on whether Donovan would choose to still run against Esty in the general election as the Working Families Party nominee.[122] However, in late August 2012 discussion began between Donovan, Esty and the Working Families Party over whether Esty might pick up the nomination of the party, preventing division amongst the Democratic party that might give way to a win by Republican nominee Andrew Roraback in the general election.
While Donovan was endorsed by the Democratic party and was the frontrunner for most of the campaign, an investigation by the FBI close to the primary hurt his chances. Two of Donovan's staff members were among eight people arrested and were immediately fired and replaced after a sting operation by the FBI in which the staffers were allegedly accepting campaign contributions from straw donors.[122] Although Donovan was not implicated and an investigation paid for by the campaign cleared him of having any knowledge of wrongdoing, it was enough to derail his campaign.[122]

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, Esty's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $2,187,079 and $5,660,000. That averages to $3,923,539, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Esty ranked as the 91st most wealthy representative in 2012.[127] Between 2011 and 2012, Esty's calculated net worth[128] decreased by an average of 20 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[129]
Elizabeth Esty Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2011 | $4,907,060 |
2012 | $3,923,539 |
Growth from 2011 to 2012: | −20% |
Average annual growth: | −20%[130] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[131] |
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). Esty received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.
From 2011-2014, 27.99 percent of Esty's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[132]

Noteworthy events
Retirement after chief of staff sexual misconduct allegations
On April 2, 2018, Esty announced she would not seek re-election in November 2018. In a Facebook post, Etsy wrote, "Too many women have been harmed by harassment in the workplace. In the terrible situation in my office, I could have and should have done better."[139]
In March 2018, multiple news outlets accused Esty of not firing her chief of staff for three months after sexual abuse allegations surfaced against him from female staffers in 2016. The female staff members claimed they experienced "violence, death threats and sexual harassment" from former chief of staff Tony Baker. In a public apology, Esty said she regretted not pushing forward an internal investigation that revealed more widespread allegations of abuse and helping Baker secure a new job. Politicians across the state called for her resignation, including Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney (D), former Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz (D), the Connecticut Republican Party, and state Sens. Mae Flexer (D) and Catherine A. Osten (D). Esty dismissed these calls to resign.[140]
