American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
More than 100 House lawmakers signed a letter urging President Barack Obama to call Congress back into session if he planned to use military force in Syria.[146]
Rep. Scott Rigell wrote in the letter in August 2013, “Engaging our military in Syria when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers that is clearly delineated in the Constitution.”[146][147]
The members of Congress believed that Obama should have asked Congress for permission before engaging in Libya. The letter asked, “If the use of 221 Tomahawk cruise missles, [sic] 704 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and 42 Predator Hellfire missiles expended in Libya does not constitute ‘hostilities,’ what does?”[147]
The letter stated, “If you deem that military action in Syria is necessary, Congress can reconvene at your request. We stand ready to come back into session, consider the facts before us, and share the burden of decisions made regarding U.S. involvement in the quickly escalating Syrian conflict."[147]
A total of 98 Republicans signed the letter. Eshoo was one of 18 Democratic members to sign the letter.[147]

Anna Eshoo completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Eshoo's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
Collapse all
|Congresswoman Anna Eshoo is a trailblazer, proven problem solver, and national leader with an extensive record of achievements and critical subject matter expertise. For the past three decades, she has served the people of San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties with great distinction.
As a Member of Congress, Anna has been a health pioneer, a champion of new medical research and groundbreaking cures, a human rights and consumer advocate and a staunch proponent of clean energy innovation and the environment. She is the first woman in the history of the U.S. Congress to Chair the Health Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee and in that role has worked to end the COVID-19 pandemic and produced legislation to lower the price of prescription drugs.
Anna is also recognized as a national leader on technology policy and has led the way on safeguarding personal information, holding companies accountable for violating individual privacy, and combating the spread of disinformation and extremism on social media platforms.
Like many of her constituents, Anna is a proud first generation American. She is a proud mother of Karen and Paul and a devoted aunt.
- Protect Our Democracy. Today, our democracy, the rule of law, and the democratic ideals of equality and justice for all are under assault. As a Member of Congress, Anna has consistently offered bills and voted for legislation that protects the integrity of our elections, increases transparency, and expands voting rights access, especially for minorities.
- Heal Our Nation. Our nation is deeply divided and this division is mirrored in Congress. Last year a vicious mob, incited by the former president, attempted to stop the counting of Electoral ballots and upend the peaceful transition of power, a hallmark of our democracy. In the case of the Covid-19 pandemic, political polarization has resulted in a deadly “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Our nation’s ability to heal and recover from these crises is hindered by partisanship and fake news. Anna is the leader we need now. She is a highly effective legislator who believes in and has a long record of bipartisanship.
- Strengthen Our Economy. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on our economy and taken a disproportionate toll on small businesses and essential workers for whom remote work is not an option. It has exposed and exacerbated inequalities and supply chain weaknesses, and raised national security concerns associated with an over-reliance on foreign manufacturers. Anna is focused on tackling these issues to improve the lives of all her constituents. She has advocated and voted for critical emergency aid, funding to expand broadband access, rapid vaccine development and deployment, and increased coronavirus testing. Anna has done this work with an eye to protecting the most vulnerable among us – leaving no one behind..
Anna is a national health leader and currently serves as the Chair of the Health Subcommittee in the House. Anna supports universal healthcare. She knows the burdens of the high costs of pharmaceutical drugs, and with her leadership, Medicare will now be able to negotiate costs directly, just as the VA does today. She has increased funding for mental health services, opioid treatment, and medical research.
Anna's efforts have produced cutting-edge legislation, such as the nation’s Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act which helped to produce life-saving Covid vaccines and the bill to establish the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H). ARPA-H would create an independent health agency that would incubate and foster biomedical innovation to transform how we detect, treat, and cure the deadliest, most aggressive diseases like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and pancreatic, liver, lung and ovarian cancer.
Anna is a staunch defender of human rights, civil rights, voting rights, women’s rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, privacy rights - and the right to live a dignified life with equal opportunity to pursue the American dream. She believes that we owe it to future generations to protect the planet and ensure that our workplaces, neighborhoods and schools are safe from gun violence. Anna has a long record of fighting for equality and justice, not only when it’s popular or widely accepted.

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, Eshoo's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $1,281,011 and $2,866,000. That averages to $2,073,505, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Eshoo ranked as the 146th most wealthy representative in 2012.[166] Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[167]
Anna Eshoo Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2004 | $−469,150 |
2012 | $2,073,505 |
Growth from 2004 to 2012: | N/A |
Average annual growth: | N/A |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[168] |
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). Eshoo received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Pharmaceuticals/Health Products industry.
From 1989-2014, 35.94 percent of Eshoo's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[169]
