John Hoeven in Survey of 2021 Senate campaign websites
On Education:
Ensure accountability coupled with local flexibility
The federal government should empower schools, administrators, and teachers to create local strategies that best prepare students to succeed in a global, high-tech economy; not mandate, one-size-fits all regulations. I have supported policies to
ensure accountability in education is coupled with adequate local flexibility. In order to prepare our students to compete, we need to ensure that our teachers have access to the necessary resources and professional development.

On Abortion:
Supports Hyde amendment; no tax dollars for abortion
Hoeven helped introduce multiple pieces of legislation to protect the sanctity of life. Hoeven's efforts coincide with the Biden administration repealing the Mexico City policy, an action the senator opposes as it would allow U.S. foreign assistance
funding to support abortion services in other nations. Hoeven will continue his efforts as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee to preserve the Hyde amendment and prevent any taxpayer dollars from going to abortion services or providers.

On Budget & Economy:
Government doesn't create jobs, economic growth; people do
For too long, the federal government has stood as an obstacle to economic growth. Government doesn't create jobs and economic growth; people do. The role of government is to remove obstacles and create a positive business climate that
will help spur job creation and economic growth, as we have in North Dakota. If we empower the private sector to invest, innovate and create jobs, we will build a higher standard of living for our citizens.

On Crime:
Prioritized improving public safety in tribal communities
We prioritized improving public safety in tribal communities. That includes passing Savanna's Act that requires law enforcement to develop more effective methods to address missing and murdered Native Americans. Through my role on the Senate
Appropriations Committee, I have worked to advance the goals of my SURVIVE Act by dedicating funding from the Crime Victims Fund (CVF) for tribes to provide services to victims of violence.

On Energy & Oil:
Working to advance states-first, all-of-the-above approach
In addition to the thousands of jobs created, our domestic energy renaissance has led to enhanced national security by reducing our reliance on foreign imports. As a member of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee and the Energy and Water
Appropriations Committee, I am working to advance a states-first, all-of-the-above approach that ensures we continue to have affordable and reliable supplies of energy to heat and cool our homes, power our businesses and fuel our transportation systems.

On Health Care:
For patient-centered health care with choice & competition
Our country faces considerable health challenges. We need to continue to work to improve access to quality, affordable health care. Unfortunately, health care costs have risen dramatically under Obamacare, with families facing increased
premiums and higher deductibles, as well as limited health insurance options. We need patient-centered health care that provides individuals and families with greater choice and competition in order to lower costs.

On Homeland Security:
Provide military with best equipment, facilities, support
The U.S. faces no shortage of national security concerns including challenges from Russia and China and the threat of terrorism. We have to meet these challenges head-on, and that means marshaling all elements of our nation's power to keep Americans
safe. North Dakota plays a critical role in our national defense thanks to its top-notch military installations and our men and women in uniform. I am proud to advocate on behalf of North Dakota's military members and their critical missions.
The cornerstone of U.S. security and the foundation for a peaceful future is a strong U.S. military. We can never take for granted the sacrifices of our servicemen and women. We must provide them with the best equipment, facilities, and support possible
so they can continue to defend our freedoms. Additionally, as our brave men and women leave military service, we must ensure they receive the health care, benefits, and recognition they have earned.

On Principles & Values:
Chairs Indian Affairs; worked to empower tribal sovereignty
Having served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs for the past four years, I worked to empower tribal sovereignty, including in the areas of economic development, job creation, energy development and natural resource management as well
as improve health care, education, public safety and housing in tribal communities. We need to continue to empower tribes to create solutions that work for their members by supporting efforts to strengthen tribal self-governance.
