Issues
2015 House leadership election
In September 2015, rumors circulated, based on comments by Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, that Gowdy would run for Majority Leader of the House. Gowdy announced the same day that he did not intend to run. "I've never run for any leadership position, and I'm not going to start now. Don't know how I can be any more definitive," Gowdy said.[110][111]
Presidential preference

Immigration reform
The Evangelical Immigration Table ran ads during the August 2013 recess to encourage support of an immigration reform bill that would allow a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. In the ad, Rev. Jim Goodroe, director of missions for Spartanburg County Baptist Network, said, "One of the things we're trying to do is trying to get Christians to first of all think about anything from a Christian perspective, including immigration... and realize that any immigrant is a person first." Gowdy supported the ad, according to a spokesman. Gowdy said, "The status quo has left our national security jeopardized with porous borders, our laws unenforced, our economy missing necessary skills, and families separated for years. But to achieve a long-term solution, any plan must first guarantee border security and restore enforcement of our laws. So while immigration is complex, I am encouraged by any groups who enter this discussion in good faith and are intent on looking for solutions." The ad also ran in Mick Mulvaney's district.[113]

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, Gowdy's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1 to $399,999. That averages to $200,000, which is lower than the average net worth of Republican House members in 2012 of $7,614,097.96. Gowdy ranked as the 346th most wealthy representative in 2012.[121] Between 2009 and 2012, Gowdy‘s calculated net worth[122] increased by an average of 278 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[123]
| Trey Gowdy Yearly Net Worth | |
|---|---|
| Year | Average Net Worth |
| 2009 | $21,404 |
| 2012 | $200,000 |
| Growth from 2009 to 2012: | 834% |
| Average annual growth: | 278%[124] |
| Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[125] | |
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). In the 113th Congress, Gowdy was the chair of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security. Gowdy received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry. Comparatively, the top industry employer in South Carolina's 4th Congressional District was Educational services, and health care and social assistance, according to a 2012 U.S. Census survey.[126]
From 2009-2014, 26.27 percent of Gowdy's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[127]
| Trey Gowdy Campaign Contributions | |
|---|---|
| Total Raised | $2,217,951 |
