- "Abortion is a procedure that is unfortunately necessary and must remain legal, but that does not mean it has to be or should be common. Abortion must be an exceptionally rare, safe procedure. Rob's plans guarantee both!" (votesmart.org)
- "Abortion IS healthcare, Mr. Theocrat sir." (twitter.com)
- "I am in favor of women controlling their own healthcare. My answer to that piece of Republican talking point is: "Are you in favor of controlling women or preventing abortion? If you want to reduce the abortion rate to zero, sponsor birth control and sex ed for every woman." (twitter.com)

- "I support increasing healthcare access and affordability by creating a Medicare buy-in option for all who want it." (www.robandersonforcongress.com)
- "I support Medicare for all because healthcare is a right, not a privilege." (votesmart.org)
- "I support the Democracy for All Amendment. This amendment would grant the U.S Congress as well as state legislative bodies the authority to set campaign contribution limits on all players in the elections process. Currently, candidates are limited from accepting campaign contributions more than specified amounts and are prohibited from taking donations from specific sources. However, Super-PACs raise unlimited amounts of money and spend unlimited amounts money to influence our elections. The Democracy for All amendment levels the playing field, keeps the system honest, and prevents private groups from essentially buying votes." (votesmart.org)
- "We pledge to oppose and work to overturn Citizens United." (www.facebook.com)
- "This past Thursday, Congressman Higgins voted against the "George Floyd Justice in Policing Act." Shocker: the former crooked cop is against common-sense police reform measures." (www.facebook.com)

- "We canât continue to grow our nationâs economy, create jobs and ensure greater economic opportunity for all without the infrastructure to support it. Our nationâs infrastructure is crumbling, and itâs more than just roads and bridges. We need to make aggressive investments in transportation, municipal water systems, energy utilities and telecommunications infrastructure. We also need to make significant investments in renewable energy to combat climate change, create jobs and expand Louisianaâs energy portfolio. Louisiana can, and should, lead the nation in the production of renewable energy." (www.robandersonforcongress.com)
- " We must work with private industry to identify needed infrastructure improvement projects and then take the initiative to ensure that those projects are built. We are losing potential new jobs to other states. It is time for us to take back our economy and once again take hold of our destiny." (votesmart.org)

- "In a free market, there should be a level playing field. Give alternative energy providers the SAME tax breaks as oil companies and watch America innovate." (twitter.com)
- "I think that a level playing field for energy companies would be in the best interests of our district, and the country. Alternative energy systems - such as solar energy - are not given the same sort of tax benefits as are oil companies. The deck is stacked against solar. Why?" (twitter.com)
- "We also need to make significant investments in renewable energy to combat climate change, create jobs and expand Louisianaâs energy portfolio. Louisiana can, and should, lead the nation in the production of renewable energy." (www.robandersonforcongress.com)
