2nd Amendment
- Excerpt: "Rob is a strong supporter and defender of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms and member of the NRA."
Education
- Excerpt: "Responsible government and pro-economic policies are only two parts to the whole of revitalizing the state economy.

Scorecards
Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
