When she was 23 years old, Hagan beat her opponent by approx. 9,949 votes, keeping her seat in House District 50. She graduated from Malone University, making her the first in her family to obtain a college degree.

In the past she has been appointed to her first leadership role in the Ohio House of Representatives as the Vice-Chair of the Higher Education Study Committee.

She has also worked to improve government accountability, promoting responsible use of taxpayer dollars.

In 2015, Hagan was the primary sponsor of House Bill 69- the Fetal Heartbeat Bill.[5] The bill would ban all abortion in Ohio after 6 weeks, even in cases of rape and incest.[6]
