Campaign website[edit]
Beatty’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Jobs and Economy As a small business owner, Joyce understands that America is strongest when we have a strong economy and an even stronger workforce. Throughout her time in Congress, Joyce has supported legislation that ensures every Central Ohioan and all Americans can earn a livable wage, guarantees equal pay for equal work, increases investment in workforce training and education, rewards entrepreneurial spirit and ingenuity, and provides ladders of opportunity to the American Dream. Education Joyce knows firsthand the life-changing effects of education. A former college administrator, Joyce wants every young person to have access to a high-quality education that equips them with the much-needed skills to be successful in- and outside the classroom no matter their zip code. In Congress, Joyce is fighting hard to reduce the rising cost of college and higher education, increase investment in our nation’s public schools, address the student loan debt crisis, and expand access to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Healthcare Healthcare is a right, not just a privilege for the financially fortunate, and Joyce believes that all Americans should be able to obtain high-quality, affordable healthcare. She supports expanding and strengthening the Affordable Care Act and continuing to invest in groundbreaking medical research, therapies and technologies to improve the health and well-being of generations of Americans. Seniors As our parents, mentors, and guides, seniors hold a special place in all of our hearts. That is why Joyce is fighting to protect the benefits that Central Ohio seniors worked a lifetime to earn. As Vice-Chair of the Democratic Caucus’ Seniors Task Force, Joyce supports expanding Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and believes we should uphold the promises made to America’s seniors by strengthening these programs and ensuring their long-term solvency. Women's Equality Despite centuries of progressive change in our perception and treatment of women, America has yet to achieve full gender equality. Women still do not earn equal pay for equal work, sexual harassment and assault continues to make headlines, and a woman’s right to choose and access to birth control is under constant assault. In Congress, Joyce is working tirelessly to address these and the many other social, economic, and political disparities that still exist for women. As she likes to say, “When women succeed, America succeeds!” Civil Rights and Voting Rights Every American should be able to live their life free from discrimination, no matter what they look like, where they live, who they love, or disability status. Similarly, all Americans should have equal access to the ballot box, and any attempt to infringe upon that right poses a serious threat to our democracy. As an influential member of the Congressional Black Caucus and Deputy Vice-Chair of the Congressional Voting Rights Caucus, Joyce is committed to creating an America not defined by our perceived differences and to making it easier for Americans to vote, not harder. Criminal Justice Reform We live in a nation that incarcerates its own citizens at a rate higher than any other country in the world. That is why Joyce believes our country needs to embrace the ideals of rehabilitation, restorative justice, and to reject harsh and ineffective treatment of non-violent criminals. Addiction Substance abuse has been an American crisis for decades, and while opioid abuse may be new to the media, it is all too common for millions of Americans, including countless Ohioan families. In fact, the State of Ohio has the unfortunate distinction of having the most opioid-related overdoses than any other state in the nation. Joyce is dedicated to helping individuals struggling with substance abuse disorders by breaking down barriers and increasing access to proven treatment options. Defense and Veterans Joyce is committed to keeping our country and all Americans safe at home and abroad, and is equally committed to all those who answered the call to serve in the Armed Forces. In Congress, she has continually supported increased funding for the military, our brave men and women in uniform, and our nation’s veterans. LGBTQ Rights Despite the tremendous progress we have made, there is clearly more that must be done to guarantee full equality for all people, especially LGBTQ+ Americans. No one should be the victim of discrimination, harassment, or bigotry because of who they love or how they identify. Joyce is dedicated to eliminating those barriers that prevent all Americans from enjoying full equality under the law and in our society. Immigration We our a nation of immigrants. We need an immigration system that values the dignity and humanity of all people. We need policies that are grounded in common sense. Joyce supports finding a pathway to full citizenship for undocumented immigrants and DREAMers and believes that the federal government has a responsibility to defend those seeking protection from oppression and violence.[13] |

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[edit]
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Beatty's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,605,033 to $3,678,000. That averages to $2,641,516.50, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic House members in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Beatty ranked as the 122nd most wealthy representative in 2012.[130] Between 2011 and 2012, Beatty's calculated net worth[131] increased 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.[132]
| Joyce Beatty Yearly Net Worth | |
|---|---|
| Year | Average Net Worth |
| 2011 | $2,560,427 |
| 2012 | $2,641,516 |
| Growth from 2011 to 2012: | 3% |
| Average annual growth: | 3%[133] |
| Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[134] | |
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric[edit]
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). Beatty received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Insurance industry.
From 2011-2014, 29.72 percent of Beatty's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[135]
