As a congressman, some of Hobson's primary concerns are improving health care, controlling government spending and balancing the budget, and strengthening national security. Hobson also believes that Congress must help to stimulate the economies of former industrial towns who have seen factories leave.


In October 2006, the Wall Street Journal reported that Hobson led a delegation to Normandy, France in August 2004 for the groundbreaking of an "interpretive center" at a cemetery for American soldiers killed during World War II. During the seven-day trip, the delegation was feted with at least two private restaurant dinners, one given by Northrop and another by the PMA Group, a leading lobbyist for defense companies. On a 2005 trip to visit nuclear-fuel processing plants in France, Hobson and his delegation attended a dinner near Avignon, in southern France, hosted by Areva SA, the world's largest maker of nuclear reactors. The free meals likely violated House rules and possibly federal law, experts on congressional ethics say. House rules prohibit members from accepting any gifts worth $50 or more.[1]
