Hagan's campaign website stated the following:

Jobs & Economy

High taxes and excessive regulation push jobs overseas, reduce wages, and create a smaller economy for everyone. Reducing the burdens on the American economy, and creating fair trade deals, will lead to an explosion of new jobs, wealth and opportunity.

Tax reform

The tax code should be simple and straightforward—easy enough to be completed on a postcard, letting you retain as much as possible. The taxes you do pay should be invested wisely in infrastructure and security so you can actually enjoy the return-on-investment (ROI). Christina has a record of cutting taxes and returning those dollars to small business owners and the hard-working middle class. When Christina helped Ohio eliminate the estate tax, farmers and small business owners could then more easily invest in future generations of job-creators and keep what their families worked so hard to create. Christina is for lowering taxes in every way possible.

Regulatory reform

Just as President Trump has eliminated 16 regulations for every new one implemented, all federal agencies should be reduced, and yes, some like the Department of Education should be eliminated altogether. A great place to start is by cutting the programs identified by Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as being ineffective and/or duplicative. Christina believes in streamlining operations to keep citizens safe without stonewalling economic development. Stop the dichotomy of a local grain mill receiving a state award while at the same time being attacked by the federal EPA.

Trade reform

Empower our workforce and our manufacturers with a priority of Made in America Again. America First trade couples the benefits of free and fair trade within the framework of what’s best for the American worker.

Energy reform

The Rust Belt needs to be transformed into the Steel Valley once again. Since President Trump eliminated the TPP and instituted a more effective and efficient EPA, Ohio has begun realizing a growth in energy output. In many ways the federal government can also restore state’s rights to define the energy portfolio that best fits their state economy and energy demands. Ohio has a long term opportunity to be a leading exporter of natural gas; we should support this renaissance in our state to show the nation what energy independence can do for the American economy, our local supply chains and our overall position in the world.

Infrastructure investment

While we’re over $20 trillion in debt, we should not be spending trillions more on infrastructure. Instead, we should be looking for more innovative ways to privatize so America can once again be on par with the world.

Education

Although there is really no need for a Department of Education, as long as it is in existence, we should adamantly fight for school choice. Education equality for every student regardless of race, creed or zip code. We should also recognize all forms of higher education to encompass real world opportunities such as obtaining education and careers in the skilled-trades. One doesn’t have to go to college to be successful; there are many options. We need to invest more heavily in apprenticeship programs, teaching students a trade, which will receive a better ROI than saddling them with insurmountable student debt.

Defending Life

Abortion

It is our duty to protect the most vulnerable in our society. When first responders arrive on the scene, their first action is to check for a pulse. A child’s heartbeat can be detected as early as 5 weeks. Christina has lead the fight to protect unborn children with beating hearts as well as their mothers from the horrific abortion industry in our nation. Christina has consistently championed restoring constitutional rights for the unborn and has served as the lead sponsor of the Heartbeat Bill in Ohio. As a woman, her voice has been especially impactful in the culture of sustaining and defending innocent life. Our goal should be to defund Planned Parenthood while providing alternative solutions to abortion so when women do not feel empowered to keep their babies, those babies can still have the right to life and their American dream. Growing up with foster brothers and sisters as well as experiencing the loss of a child through miscarriage, Christina has become a passionate champion for women and children and is pursuing innovative ways to Connect Our Kids while serving in an advisory role to help eradicate systemic foster and adoption issues in our state and nation by utilizing technology for efficient placement of our children into fitting homes. Christina is also currently working on breaking down government barriers to free up vital financial resources needed to serve our children who are in record need of placement and caring homes due to the widespread trauma and reality inflicted by the opioid and heroin epidemic.

Opioid crisis

Ohio is the unfortunate national leader in opioid deaths per annum. In fact, accidental deaths by overdose are #1 in the state. There needs to be an all-hands-on-deck solution partnering with better rehab programs intended to cycle people off of drug usage, coupled with aid from non-governmental organizations, the healthcare industry, holistic and homeopathic medicine and our churches to find more effective methods of treating pain as 80% of overdose situations stem from an overuse of painkillers. We need leaders who are willing to face these issues head on and encourage well-rounded solutions to saving lives.

Infant mortality

As a mother it breaks Christina’s heart to know that nearly 7 out of every 1000 births ends in infant mortality in our state. Promoting a healthy lifestyle is a sure and simple way to begin taking control of this issue. We need conservative women like Christina leading on these tough issues to provide pragmatic solutions that save lives.

Defending the 2nd Amendment

There is no right that is more fundamental to the character of America than the right to bear arms. Without this right, America would have been unable to defend herself against the British during the American Revolution. The right to defend yourself and your family is not just a constitutional right, but also a God-given one.

Christina has a record of supporting every single measure to restore Second Amendment rights while serving in Ohio. She has most recently fought to ensure our paramedics serving alongside SWAT units can exercise their Second Amendment rights while running into dangerous and deadly circumstances to help protect our citizenry.

Christina Hagan will stand up to any and all attempts to infringe on our constitutional and God-given Second Amendment rights. Period.

Defending our Borders

A nation without borders is not a nation.

There must be adequate protection across our southern border. Not only will this stop the flow of illegal drugs, but also criminal gangs like MS-13.

A nation without laws is not a nation.

Laws passed in accordance with our Constitutional system of government must be enforced.

A nation that does not serve its own citizens is not a nation.

Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans.

Fixing Health Care

Completely repeal Obamacare

Our elected representatives must PERMANENTLY eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.

Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines

As long as the plan complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer insurance in any state. By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.

Allow individuals to fully deduct health insurance premium payments from their tax returns

Businesses are allowed to take these deductions so why wouldn’t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions? As we allow the free market to provide insurance coverage opportunities to companies and individuals, we must also make sure that no one slips through the cracks simply because they cannot afford insurance. We must review basic options for Medicaid and work with states to ensure that those who want health care coverage can have it.

Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)

Contributions into HSAs should be tax-free and should be allowed to accumulate. These accounts would become part of the estate of the individual and could be passed on to heirs without fear of any death penalty. These plans should be particularly attractive to young people who are healthy and can afford high-deductible insurance plans. These funds can be used by any member of a family without penalty. The flexibility and security provided by HSAs will be of great benefit to all who participate.

Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products

Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.

Price transparency

Our nation needs meaningful transparency in healthcare prices. This is one of the most important and efficient ways we can drive down the excessive costs of healthcare in our nation. The legislature and executive branch will need to stand strong against the powerful healthcare special interests who know the significance of purchasing power and how impactful individuals being able to define and drive the market will be on revolutionizing and diminishing costs for patients.

Faith and Freedom

A nation that does not value faith and freedom will not long prosper.

Traditional faith and our First Amendment rights to speak truth are the lynchpin of our young democracy.

Americans in recent times have experienced extraordinary attacks on their freedom of religion, freedom of the press and their First Amendment rights to free speech.

The Bill of Rights was derived from the Antifederalists who were arguing that the amendments were necessary to curb the national government, which they feared would be too strong and abusive of popular liberties. Certainly their fear is a common day reality.

Christina believes firmly that Religious and Civil liberties should not be infringed upon by the federal government or any bureaucratic extension of the federal government.

Christina’s personal faith.

Christina is an imperfect person, who values deeply Scripture and having spiritual guidance to help her in her purpose-driven life as a born-again Christian. She was raised in the Methodist church, studied business at a small Christian School and was baptized in her early adult life at a local non-denominational Christian church. Christina and her family are members at Marlboro Christian Church. Christina knows and understands that Christian ideas were one of the most important intellectual influences on our Founders. Like our founding was deeply shaped by Christian moral truths, Christina’s life experiences and walk have been shaped by Christian morality. She is thankful to live in a nation that is hospitable to Christianity and to the practitioners of other traditional religious beliefs and will adamantly defend faith and freedoms. If we lose sight of these values of faith, freedom and hard work, America will cease to be great. Christina boldly walks in her faith knowing that she has been saved from her sins, experiencing a new type of humility and also an explosion of confidence because her ability and direction are no longer capped at what she can’t do but are made perfect in what God can do. Christina believes when we fix our hearts and attention on Jesus, the founder, the author of our faith, things begin to change.

Financial Security

A culture of debt.

Financial literacy is a skill that Congress should be fluent in. Their irresponsible money management is something that affects not only our national security but also the ins and outs of our daily lives. Congress allows for about $4 trillion a year in spending although they bring in almost half a trillion less than that in revenue.

Our national debt clock has recently exceeded $20 trillion putting Americans at an all time high disadvantage.

The debt is so excessive that according to The Hill, “Each American’s share of our $20 trillion dollar debt totals $166,000, also including Social Security and Medicare, total another $875,000 per taxpayer.” Every one of us is on the hook for $1 million dollars.

The Hill goes on to reference the independent Congressional Research Service: “Debt eventually must be repaid, either through spending reductions, tax increases or combination of the two and may also generate crowding out that could reduce future economic productivity…massive accumulating debt provides more money for Congress to spend now, at the cost of economic growth and opportunity of future generations.”

America must tackle waste, fraud and duplication

Christina has a record of working hard to defeat debt.

Christina proudly cut government excess to achieve a balanced state budget in the midst of a historic 17% budget deficit.

Christina voted against new increased spending and the creating of new budget deficits just this year.

We need to swiftly cut federal discretionary spending, reverse federal overreach, return power to the states, reform entitlement spending to make it sustainable and pass a balanced budget amendment.

Just by starting to cut the programs identified by CBO and OBM as duplicative/ineffective we can begin to save hundreds of billions of dollars over the 10-year budget window.

In addition to our excessive national debt, our higher education system has inflated its costs of services at an unparalleled rate due to federal and state subsides giving them permission to financially rob a generation of people of their financial freedom. Free market principles must be applied to all areas weighing down the future of America.

Transparency and financial experts will be needed to solve our nation’s financial brokenness. Christina has asked for a long range financial outlook for the state and would do the same of our nation’s financial future. The long-range financial outlook will be based on current law, demographics, debt load, expected trends, and other factors, which will include: budgetary, economic, socio-economic and debt analysis. The long-range financial outlook will take into consideration both internal and external environmental demands and contingencies that could hinder or accelerate Ohio and the nation’s course to success.
