Promoting Economic Development and Job Creation

Over the years, Congressman Hobson has worked with leaders in the public and private sectors to help attract new businesses to the 7th District. This has included the development of the NextEdge Applied Research and Technology Park in Springfield and the Rickenbacker Intermodal Facility in Central Ohio. Hobson has also worked to support the hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses that are related to the four military bases located in the district, including Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC), the Springfield Air National Guard Base, and Rickenbacker International Airport.

 
Improving Access to Affordable Health Care

Continuing the work he began as chairman of the Ohio Senate Health Committee, Congressman Hobson has worked in Congress to preserve the basic values of American health care including access, security, affordability, choice and fairness. He also has supported legislation to ensure fair access to immunizations for low-income children and to help small business owners and farmers secure better prices on health insurance premiums. He has also helped to win passage of legislation to protect the health insurance of families that lose or change jobs. Additionally, he wrote a section of a law to eliminate health care paperwork and fight fraud--both of which will help control costs.

In recent years, Hobson and his colleagues worked to modernize the Medicare program by adding a prescription drug benefit and more choices for seniors, so they can find the coverage that best meets their needs. The Medicare bill also included a Hobson initiative to improve health care for women by making mammograms more accessible. Locally, he was successful in getting the necessary authorization and funding for a new Central Ohio Veterans Ambulatory Clinic to be built on the campus of the Defense Supply Center Columbus in Whitehall.

 
Strengthening Education
Over the years, Hobson has worked to help support education programs at the elementary and secondary levels, as well as the colleges and universities in the 7th District. His work has included securing funding for curriculum development, teacher training and providing equipment for classrooms. In recent years, Hobson has helped fund a Department of Energy Program involving Wilberforce University and Central State University to deepen the recruiting pool of scientific and technical staff available to support our nation’s national security programs. He has also been involved with the development of the Air Force Institute of Technology’s (AFIT) new academic building.
 
Constituent Service

Providing the best possible constituent service to the people of the 7th Congressional District remains a top priority for Congressman Hobson. He maintains district offices in Springfield and Lancaster and sponsors “Open Doors” meetings throughout the district each month to give constituents an opportunity to share their concerns or questions directly with his staff.
