Issue positions
Roebuck did not provide answers to the 2008 Political Courage Test. The test provides voters with how a candidate would vote on the issues if elected. Her answers to the Arkansas State Legislative Election 2006 National Political Awareness Test are available. When asked her legislative priorities in that test, she responded:
"I pledge to work with county and state officials to retain and recruit industry and business to this area... Helath issues, including the high cost of prescription drugs are a top priority for me and we must continue to provide maximum medical services to all of the citizens of Arkansas... ...The current mandate for reforming our educational system allows us a crucial opportunity to improve learning opportunities for all children...we must ensure that the education they receive from pre-school through college gives them the tools they need to become productive citizens..."[2]
