Jacksonville voters still trying to figure out mayoral frontrunner Mike Hogan could get to know him, for better or worse, by a hard look at his voting record.
Staunch social conservative. Public safety ally. Constituent advocate. Often an opponent to tax and fee increases - but not always.
Hogan was involved in crafting and/or voting on hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of legislation during his two terms on the City Council (1991-99) and three years in the Legislature (2001-03). As Duval County tax collector, he also was appointed to the powerful 2008 state Taxation and Budget Review Commission, which meets every 20 years to recommend improvements to the tax and budget system.
