Women’s Reproductive Rights
N/A - Roberson has not taken a public stance.Gun Control Laws
Roberson views gun violence primarily as a law-enforcement and public-safety challenge, not as a matter calling for stricter gun control. He supports enhanced enforcement, stronger police-community partnerships, and sanctuary-style resistance to new local gun restrictions. There’s no public indication he supports measures like background checks, red-flag laws, or safe-storage mandates.Immigrant Policies
Roberson follows a conservative, hard-line approach to immigration: he demands reinforced border security, opposes open-border policies, and integrates immigration control into his broader agenda of fiscal restraint and law-and-order governance.LGBTQ Policies
The absence of LGBTQ-related content on Roberson's campaign website and lack of public messaging suggests it may not be something he has taken a clear position on.Equal Access to Education, Medical Care, and Housing
Believes in advancing education with targeted youth mentorship and career training in support of affordable public housing and medical care. -
Background and Experience
I’m running for Congress because I will fight in support of President Trump and the America First Agenda. I will support an agenda where the top priority is protecting and promoting more and better American jobs for American workers. Our state and our district have seen first-hand the economic devastation of so-called free-trade deals. But now we’ve got a President fighting for American jobs, and we need a congressman who will join that fight. -
