2014
Hogan's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]
Education
- Excerpt: "The future of our state and country depends on us having an educated and prepared workforce, ready to compete with other nations in the twenty-first century. "
Economy
- Excerpt: "Beyond crisis mode, state government must also invest significant public resources in scientific and industrial innovations. Economists predict that the major industries of the future will be centered on ideas and technologies that have yet to even be discovered. State government needs to recognize, nurture, and fund the innovators and entrepreneurs who will lead Ohio’s economy into the next century, just as Ohioans John Rockefeller, Wilbur Wright, and Thomas Edison did in the past."
Capital Punishment
- Excerpt: "Capital punishment is something I believe should be implemented for the worst crimes imaginable. Though not a proven deterrent to crime, it guarantees that the most dangerous offenders will not repeat their vile acts."
Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "Gun ownership should only be abridged by criminal history or mental illness. Concealed carry should also be legal, with a thorough background check. We currently have an extensive criminal check, but demonstrated by the recent shooting in Arizona, gun buyers and concealed-carry applicants need to be even more thoroughly screened for disabling mental illness."
