Issues
Campaign themes
2012
Hockema has outlined the following three themes of his campaign:[2]
- Job Creation: "Build an operating environment that supports Indiana businesses. Focus on solutions to keep the Greater Lafayette Area attractive to new businesses."
- Education - "Focus dollars on the frontlines of education… the classroom. Reward our best teachers with better pay. Give schools the flexibility to attract the best teachers."
- Economy - "Simplify and reduce the tax burden. Eliminate burdensome regulations on Hoosier families and businesses."
In a biographical submission to Ballotpedia, Hockema stated, "I believe that holding office should be a sacrifice, not an entitlement of career politicians. It is clear to me that most career politicians create more problems than they solve. When House Representatives walked out of the last legislative session to prevent a vote on bills they opposed, several people who know my background asked me to run."[2]

Hockema ran in the 2012 election for Indiana House of Representatives District 27. Hockema defeated Jan Payne in the May 8 Republican primary[1] and was defeated by incumbent Sheila Ann Klinker (D) in the general election which took place on November 6, 2012. [3][4]

Campaign donors
In information submitted to Ballotpedia on April 18, 2012, Hockema said his donations are from private individuals - no PACs or other large corporate donors.[2]
On April 22, 2012, Hockema filed a report for a large sum of cash he loaned to his campaign for State House.[5] The loan, for $10,000, required a special report to be filed with the Indiana Secretary of State Elections Division.[5] According to Jared Bond, Republican co-director at the Tippecanoe County Board of Election office, election finance laws require, "any cash donation that exceeds $1,000 after April 13 -- the deadline for first-quarter finance reports -- to the time of the election requires the special report be filed with the Indiana Secretary of State Election Division."[5]
