Hoeven said he is opposed to cap and trade and the health care bill, because both will hurt business and raise taxes. Rather, the answer is in increased competition, expanded use of health savings accounts, tort reform and more transparency. This is Hoeven’s fourth statewide race, but marks the first time he has run for national office.
