Campaign themes
2014
Hosch's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Public Safety/Crime
- Excerpt: "We need to be tough on crime and work with our cities and local law enforcement to provide them with all of the tools necessary to provide our citizens with the utmost public safety that they deserve."
Property Taxes
- Excerpt: "I’m like everybody else – we’d like to set as a goal a reduction in property taxes and the tax burden overall. That means we have to control spending if we are to avoid shifting the tax burden, while opening a window for meaningful tax reform."
Jobs/Economic Development
- Excerpt: "Creating jobs and economic development is a must not only for the district and city but the entire state as well. We need to create a competitive climate to bring new and better jobs into Nebraska, and that includes incentives to help grow our existing businesses and industries."
Education
- Excerpt: " It seems like our young kids spend a third of their childhood with their teachers and therefore attracting the best teachers and giving them all of the resources they need to be effective should be a priority."
Veterans
- Excerpt: "As a veteran of the Vietnam era serving 3 years in the Army I am firmly committed to our Veterans. They should never be forgotten."
