Repeal the Citizens United Supreme Court decision
Hogg said he will focus on campaign finance reform, including repealing the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, which opened the door for unlimited super PAC spending.
Hogg said the biggest challenge to his campaign will be raising enough money to allow him to travel to "communicate with Iowans across our state." He said social media will help with that goal.
