Hagar's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[4]
Crime
- Excerpt: "I will support community policing and I will encourage the Mayor and Chief of Police to add more police to our neighborhoods. I will ask the Chief of Police to retain good responsive police officers. I will further encourage neighborhood watch programs for each and every neighborhood and work with Sgt. White at the Hermitage Precinct to implement them."
Education
- Excerpt: "In an era of fiscal responsibility and the cutting of social services, we must ensure that the public school system endures for all working families wanting their children to receive the best education afforded to them at no cost. I will work with the Board of Education and focus on improving the system, including our schools in District 11 to better prepare our children for High School and other higher educational opportunities."
Ethics and transparency
- Excerpt: "A Metro councilman holds the duty both to provide citizens with standards by which they may determine that the clear and consistent public duties are faithfully performed, and to appraise the behavior which is expected of a city councilman while conducting services on behalf of the people. I currently abide by ethical standards as a practicing attorney, and I promise to embrace standards of ethical conduct and abide by the above statements."
Fiscal responsibility
- Excerpt: "I will strive to increase Nashville’s municipal bond rating to make our city a safe investment for capital projects and expansion. Taxes should never be raised without citizen confirmation."
Tradition and historic preservation
- Excerpt: "I will vote to protect the tradition and history of Nashville, and especially District 11, without sacrificing the values of a progressive city of the South. These two philosophies should be balanced for the public good. I will further strive to assure the citizens of our District that any developments are in conformity with their wishes. This will ensure the protection of historic areas while enhancing and protecting property value in our area."
Recreation
- Excerpt: "I will strive and continue to help finish the Crooked Branch Park to add to the amenities in this area. These assets add to the district’s success for all neighborhoods and businesses. I will support all youth sports programs and assist in the development of our children’s health and welfare."
