Hann's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Job Growth for a Strong Economy

I’ve fought to make Minnesota a leader in job growth, consistently advocating for policies that would encourage new investment and innovation. These policies would give workers better career advancement opportunities, raise wages, and increase benefits. Jobs and economic growth will continue to be a priority for me at the Capitol.

Lowering Healthcare Costs and Increasing Choices

While serving as Chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee in 2010, I learned first-hand about the importance of high quality care and the obstacles faced by patients, providers, and employers. Limiting choices for consumers is not an effective way to control costs. In a consumer driven health care system, the question, “Who will make decisions about your health care – you and a trusted physician, or someone else?” is answered with one word; “You!” I will continue to work to increase consumer choices for health care coverage in Minnesota.

Supporting Schools and Students

As a member of the Senate, I have worked closely with Eden Prairie and Minnetonka students, parents, teachers, and administrators. The schools in our district do a great job of preparing our students for the challenges they will face. Sadly, not every student across the state has the same opportunity as ours do. I have been dedicated to working on making all our schools better, and making sure all our students have access to a first class education. This has been my top priority since entering public service and it still is.

Maintaining Safe Roads and Transit Systems

Maintaining a reliable transportation system is essential to a growing economy. We all benefit from safer roads, faster commutes, and goods delivered to our doorsteps and local stores. I’ve been a vocal supporter of a 10-year plan to invest $7 billion in roads and bridges across the state and our local community. We can accomplish this without raising the gas tax.

Metro suburbs like Eden Prairie and Minnetonka also benefit from affordable, reliable transit systems like SouthWest Transit. This system has provided for a number of years convenient, comfortable coach bus service from the western suburbs to downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota. I support express bus service as an efficient option that has the flexibility to grow and change with our community.[12]
