- "The last time our Congress passed a budget was after the Republicans took control of Congress in 1994. I was there working alongside our former Congressman John Mica as we developed fiscally responsible budgets that limited spending, reduced the size of government and enabled free markets to grow the economy and increase revenues. With a Republican Congress in 2022, we can do it again." (www.rustyrobertscongress.com)

- "As an appointee of Governor Ron Desantis to the Florida Transportation Commission, I have played an important oversight role in how our Federal and State transportation dollars are allocated, working to ensure that safety, mobility, and economic prosperity remain our highest priority in Floridas transportation systems. A healthy economy depends on good transportation systems. To get a good job you need an affordable way to get to that job. As transportation leaders, it is our job to mitigate congestion through better technology and multi-modal solutions that goes beyond just roads." (www.rustyrobertscongress.com)

- "The best solutions to our education system come from parents and teachers. Parents have the right to know what schools are teaching their kids and deserve a say in their childrens education. I support school choice and support Governor DeSantis effort to promote parental rights in education." (www.rustyrobertscongress.com)
- "Under President Trump America was energy independent. Under President Biden we are purchasing oil from our enemies. Instead of reversing the ban on drilling in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico and other federal lands, Biden is giving American tax dollars for oil to countries who would do us harm. All of this while bowing to the radical left who dont understand that replacing oil production in the U.S with increased oil importation from foreign countries does not equate to a greener planet. Rather, it means enriching other economies while hurting American consumers and workers. I will fight to re-authorize construction of the Keystone pipeline and reverse the crippling restrictions on American oil and gas production that Biden instituted when he took office."
- "Floridas unique ecological balance is being threatened daily by human activity and development pressures caused by our rapidly growing population. Central Florida is home to precious natural springs, rivers, lakes and wetlands. As Congressman Micas Chief of Staff, I worked with him on major preservation projects, such as the Rose Bay restoration in Port Orange, and Gemini Springs and Green Springs preservation projects in west Volusia County. As your Congressman, I will support common sense solutions to restore and preserve these vital resources for future generations." (www.rustyrobertscongress.com)
