Issues

National security

Letter to Iran

On March 9, 2015, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote a letter to Iran's leadership, warning them that signing a nuclear deal with the Obama administration without congressional approval constituted only an executive agreement. The letter also stated that "The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time." The letter was signed by 47 Republican members of the Senate. Enzi was one of the 47 who signed the letter. No Democrats signed it.[134]

Members of the Obama administration and of Congress reacted to the letter.[135] Vice President Joe Biden said of the letter, "In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which senators wrote directly to advise another country — much less a longtime foreign adversary — that the president does not have the constitutional authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them."[136]

Presidential preference

Mike Enzi endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election.[137]

Involvement in Syria

See also: United States involvement in Syria

According to a report by The Hill in September 2013, Enzi was undecided on intervening in Syria, while Liz Cheney was among four Republican Senate candidates who had come out against it.[138] Enzi blasted Cheney for her statements on Syria, telling POLITICO, "I never try to judge another person, particularly an opponent, but my dad always said, ‘If you want to see what somebody’s going to do, look and see what they’ve done before.' And this is kind of a turnaround from what she’s done before. I try to stay a bit more consistent than that."[139]

Cheney responded to Enzi's comments saying, "he lacks experience in national security and foreign policy so it isn’t surprising he would fail to make distinctions between a misguided attack on Syria and military operations that are necessary to defend the security of the nation."[139]

Race background

Liz Cheney announced she was running for the seat Enzi held, but she dropped out of the race after one of her children developed a serious health issue. Following Cheney's announcement in January 2014, Enzi asked for prayers for Cheney and her family. Enzi also mentioned Cheney had called to inform him of her decision. He said he wasn't sure if she was going to endorse him or not. He said, "I’d like for anybody to endorse me in the campaign — everybody to endorse me in the campaign, but you know she’s got other things on her mind. This was critical enough that she pulled of a race, so I’m not pressing for anything at this point."[142]

Enzi spoke in September 2013 at the New York Meeting, which is a meeting of conservative activists and donors.[143]

Primary vulnerability

Enzi was named by National Journal as one of the top five incumbent senators at risk of losing his or her primary election in 2014. Four of the five most vulnerable senators were Republican.[144]

Endorsements

Enzi was endorsed by the following people:

  • Sen. Rand Paul endorsed Enzi over Cheney before she dropped out of the race. Paul said, "I am a friend of Sen. Enzi and while we aren’t exactly the same, I consider him a good conservative."[145]
  • Sen. Jerry Moran, the National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman announced the official party body will support Enzi and several Senators have followed suit, including Wyoming Senator John Barrasso.
  • Sen. John McCain endorsed Enzi.[146]
  • Former Sen. Olympia Snowe endorsed Enzi. She stated:
    • "There is no reason to challenge him. What is the basis? That he’s not working hard enough? He’s working very hard. That he’s not conservative enough? I think it’s regrettable.”[147]
  • Sen. Orrin Hatch endorsed Enzi. He stated:
    • “I don’t know why in the world she’s [Cheney] doing this." Enzi is “honest and decent, hard-working; he’s got very important positions in the Senate. He’s highly respected. And these are all things that would cause anybody to say: ‘Why would anybody run against him?’”[148]
  • Sen John Cornyn endorsed Enzi, although he said he liked Cheney, as well. He reasoned:
    • “This is about getting the majority in the Senate. And we have to support our friends and people who have done a good job.”[148]

Noteworthy events

Healthcare

In August 2013, Liz Cheney called on Enzi, among other congressional members, to renounce the agreement that allowed the government to subsidize part of the health care premiums for Congressional members and their staff. Cheney said, "The hypocrisy is stunning. But all too typical of how Congress works. Members cut special deals for themselves so they don’t feel the pain their laws inflict on the general public. That’s one of the reasons I’m running for the Senate — to end this self-serving, behind the scenes deal-making." Enzi's campaign spokesperson responded, "Senator Enzi has already opposed it and the other exemptions and delays for businesses, insurance companies etc. Senator Enzi will continue his efforts to defund and dismantle Obamacare. He’ll make decisions about his own health care without help from candidate Cheney."[149]

The poll found that both candidates had near universal name recognition in the state. This poll indicated that Cheney would have faced an uphill battle for the seat, if she had stayed in the race. Enzi had a 73 percent approval rating at the time of the poll, and 38 percent polled said that they had heard of Cheney but had no opinion of her.[150]

Personal Gain Index

Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
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

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, Rockefeller's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $345,057 to $1,531,000. That averages to $938,028.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican Senate members in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Enzi ranked as the 65th most wealthy senator in 2012.[154] Between 2004 and 2012, Enzi‘s calculated net worth[155] increased 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.[156]

Mike Enzi Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$629,604
2012$938,028
Growth from 2004 to 2012:49%
Average annual growth:6%[157]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[158]

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). Enzi received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Pharmaceuticals/Health Products industry.

From 1995-2014, 29.92 percent of Enzi's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[159]
