The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[9]

Economy

Farm bill

Yea3.png On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[11] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. 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.[12][13] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[13] Latham voted with 88 other Democratic representatives in favor of the bill.

2014 Budget

Yea3.png On 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.[14][15] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[15] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[16] 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. Latham joined with the majority of the Democratic party and voted in favor of the bill.[14][15]

Government shutdown

See also: United States budget debate, 2013

Yea3.png 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.[17] 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.[18] Latham voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[19]

Yea3.png 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.[20] 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. Latham voted for HR 2775.[21]

Morton Memos Prohibition

Yea3.png Latham voted in favor of 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. The vote largely followed party lines.[9]

Healthcare

Healthcare Reform Rules

Yea3.png Latham voted in favor of House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[9]

Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act

Yea3.png Latham voted in favor of HR 2009 - Keep the IRS Off Your Healthcare Act of 2013. The bill passed through the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 232-185. The bill would prevent the IRS and Treasury Secretary from enforcing the powers provided to them in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The vote largely followed party lines.[9]

Social issues

Yea3.png Latham voted in favor of House Amendment 413 - Prohibits the National Security Agency from Collecting Records Under the Patriot Act. The amendment failed on July 4, 2013, by a vote of 205-217. The amendment would have prohibited the collection of records by the National Security Agency under the Patriot Act.

Issues

American response in Syria

See also: United States involvement in Syria

Latham said August 27, 2013, that he opposes American military intervention in Syria, adding it would be wrong for President Barack Obama to take such action without the approval of Congress.[26] “Syria has not declared war on us…Why would we start escalating the crisis? I would be totally against that,” Latham said.[26]

Tom Latham voiced opposition to American military intervention in Syria at town hall meeting August 27, 2013

Latham made it clear he did not condone the use of poison gas on civilians. But he said, “I am certainly not in favor of any additional involvement” by the United States.[26] He also said that he does not believe the Obama administration or anyone else has made the case that that can justify the U.S. unilaterally taking any military action in Syria.[26]

“Attacking a sovereign country without authorization from Congress I simply think is wrong,” Latham said. He added, “At this point, you have a civil war going on in Syria and for us to interject ourselves and attack one side I don’t think it has been justified.”[26]

Town hall response

During the numerous town halls Latham held during the 2013 summer recess, constituents echoed Latham's concerns regarding military involvement in Syria. "For most people, it's very clear-cut. There's just been no support for going in," Latham said regarding his constituent's views.[27]

Americans United For Change

Americans United for Change's October 2013 ad, "Tea Party Shutdown - Tom Latham."

On October 9, 2013, the advocacy group Americans United for Change started running TV ads in Iowa blaming Tom Latham for the ongoing government shutdown.[28]

The ads accuse Latham of joining with “tea party Republicans” to force the shutdown and offer a number of resulting negative effects: hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work, government benefits put at risk, denial of care for cancer patients, halting of food inspections.[28]

“Economists say Tom Latham’s tea party shut down could weaken the economy and devastate middle class families,” the narrator says. “Call Congressman Latham. Tell him to do his job. End the Tea Party Shutdown of our government.”[28]

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

Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Latham's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $2,821,724 and $8,656,715. That averages to $5,739,219.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican representatives in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Latham ranked as the 65th most wealthy representative in 2012.[48] Between 2004 and 2012, Latham's calculated net worth[49] increased by an average of 9 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[50]

Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[52]

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). Latham received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Leadership PACs industry.

From 1993-2014, 22.24 percent of Latham's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[53]
