Eric Hansen in Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites

On Abortion: I support reasonable limits on late-term abortions

The Supreme Court returned abortion policy to the states and Delawareans have been clear where they stand. I oppose a national abortion ban and will not support any federal law that overrides Delaware law. Like most Americans, I support reasonable limits on late-term abortions and will always support exceptions for the terrible cases of rape, incest, and to save the life of the mother.

On Crime: Support federal intervention to stop drug cartels, gangs

I will add federal resources to ensure that the most dangerous and violent criminals are prosecuted and imprisoned. We also need to put drugs dealers behind bars -- Delaware is 5th in opioid and fentanyl deaths in the U.S. I support immediate federal intervention to stop drug cartels and gang violence. When local government will not step up, we are left with no choice but for the federal government to step in. Source: 2024 Delaware Senate campaign website VoteEricHansen.com Feb 23, 2024

On Education: Expand school choice whether public, private, or parochial

I believe that every child deserves a quality education regardless of their zip code or family's income. We need to expand school choice so parents can send their kids to schools that make a difference -- whether those schools are public, private, or parochial. We need to expand national testing and we should reward great teachers who improve student progress with bonuses. I believe that schools are for reading, writing, and math, not for culture wars.

On Energy & Oil: Follow all-of-the-above energy strategy, market solutions

Climate change is real, and it's happening now. We need to pursue market-based solutions via tax credits and competition to lower the cost of energy and allow companies to pursue innovation so these industries can take off. The top-down approach of mandate after mandate leaves farmers, consumers, and others paying more. An all-of-the-above energy strategy that lets the market work will succeed quicker.

On Foreign Policy: Need to stop Russia from illegally seizing more territory

Democracy around the world is under threat. We need to stop Russia from illegally seizing more territory and expanding into Europe. But we also need to make sure that any aid to Ukraine does not go into the pockets of corrupt officials. I support tougher rules to prevent China from stealing our technology and our private data. And I support more investment in smart and autonomous military technologies to defend this great nation against foreign threats.

On Government Reform: We need transparency and expanded federal agency disclosures

Too often the government tries to tell you what to do and how to think. We must have smart government reform to drive accountability and efficiency. I will restore faith in our government through transparency and expanded federal agency disclosures -- less secrets. We need the government to work for you, not against you behind closed doors.

On Health Care: Allow Medicare/Medicaid to negotiate price of drugs

We must allow Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate the price of prescription drugs, saving seniors money. I will lower the cost of health care by allowing insurance to be purchased from out-of-state providers that provide you with more choice and lower insurance costs. We will also offer longer patents to pharmaceutical companies that keep prescription drugs prices low. We will increase federal incentives to bring pharmaceutical drug jobs and manufacturing back to the U.S. and back to Delaware.

On Principles & Values: Eric Hansen is NOT a politician; that's a good thing

Eric Hansen is NOT a politician. That's a good thing. We don't need more politicians. We need people who care more about fixing the problems facing our country and state than getting elected, who care more about you than themselves and who will actually make things better. Eric is running because he truly believes that we need to stop the party bickering and put the needs of the people first, and it takes a political outsider not beholden to special interests to do just that.

On Social Security: We need to add 401(k)+ benefit options for future retirees

We must protect Social Security and ensure the program does not run short of money in 10 years as predicted. We need to add 401(k)+ benefit options for future retirees in addition to Social Security that could increase the average benefit from $24,000 to $100,000 a year while stimulating the economy and creating new jobs.

On Tax Reform: We need to move towards a flatter, simpler tax system

We need to reform the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates. We will require balanced budgets and smarter government spending. We need to move towards a flatter, simpler tax system for small businesses and corporations -- with exemptions for low-income families. All of this will stimulate our economy and create more and higher paying jobs and put money back in your pocket. Source: 2024 Delaware Senate campaign website VoteEricHansen.com Feb 23, 2024

On Environment: Regulation simply increases costs, slows down innovation

Regulation will simply increase costs for everyone, it will slow down innovation and let China win the green energy race. We can't afford that. We need to promote and incentivize innovation.

Dirty energy tariffs on China and India plus US innovation is what will solve both the climate AND the energy problem.
