John Hoeven did not complete Ballotpedia's 2022 Candidate Connection survey.

2016

The following issues were listed on Hoeven's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Jobs: Job creation is job number one. We need to foster an environment that will create good jobs and fresh opportunities for all Americans. By empowering the private sector, we will continue to create the jobs and careers that provide a higher standard of living for all of our citizens.
  • Budget: Since I have been elected to the Senate, we have reduced our annual budget deficit by nearly $1 trillion, but there is more work to be done. We must start living within our means and establish a strong financial position for this country, so we don’t burden future generations with unsustainable debt. We must work to find savings within the budget and hold the line on spending. With a growing economy and more fiscal discipline, we can reduce the federal deficit.
  • Education: Our children are our future and quality education unlocks their unlimited potential. We need to: empower schools, administrators and teachers to create local strategies that prepare students to succeed in a global, high-tech economy; implement accountability for educators while allowing for local flexibility and avoiding one-size-fits-all regulations; provide long-term solutions to address student loan debt and higher education affordability.
  • Energy: Our nation must move toward more energy independence. Through a comprehensive energy plan like we developed in North Dakota with EmPower ND, our country can spur development of all our energy resources with good stewardship while still promoting energy efficiency and conservation.
  • Veterans: To help fix the broken system at the VA, I co-sponsored the Veterans Choice Act, which will give veterans more choice and flexibility while reforming the Veterans Health Care system with greater accountability and transparency. The legislation will help to address long wait times or long drives for veterans who need health care services by enabling them to get those services at non-VA facilities closer to home. I am continually working with the VA, our county veteran service officers and our veterans to ensure this law is implemented in a way that works for our veterans and their families.

Noteworthy events

Letter to Iran

On March 9, 2015, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) wrote a letter to Iran's leadership, warning them that signing a nuclear deal with the Obama administration without congressional approval constituted only an executive agreement. The letter also stated that "The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time." The letter was signed by 47 Republican members of the Senate. Hoeven was one of the 47 who signed the letter. No Democrats signed it.[167]

Members of the Obama administration and of Congress reacted to the letter.[168] Vice President Joe Biden said of the letter, "In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which senators wrote directly to advise another country — much less a longtime foreign adversary — that the president does not have the constitutional authority to reach a meaningful understanding with them."[169]

Personal Gain Index

Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:

PGI: Change in net worth

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives
Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Hoeven's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $10,209,077 to $64,021,999. That averages to $37,115,538, which is higher than the average net worth of Republican Senate members in 2012 of $6,956,438.47. Hoeven ranked as the 7th most wealthy senator in 2012.[170] Between 2009 and 2012, Hoeven's calculated net worth[171] increased by an average of 24 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[172]

John Hoeven Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2009$21,415,466
2012$37,115,538
Growth from 2009 to 2012:73%
Average annual growth:24%[173]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[174]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

PGI: Donation Concentration Metric

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Hoeven received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Oil & Gas industry.

From 2009-2014, 23.43 percent of Hoeven's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[175]
