Brian Robertson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Robertson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.

Expand all | Collapse all

I'm a dad, USMC veteran of OIF II, Eagle Scout, and lifelong resident of Sumner County, Tennessee.
  • Working families in Tennessee are my top priority.
  • Our state is severely damaging and underfunding public education. I will work to ensure our children get the education they deserve.
  • Our citizens will greatly benefit from expanding Medicaid. We are one of the last remaining states to not do so. I will work to expand Medicaid in Tennessee.
I'm passionate about improving the lives of our citizens. Lifting individuals and families out of poverty and lessening the burdens on our working families. The middle and lower class working people are who carry this state. When they do better, we all do better.
Leadership and empathy
First and foremost, my years in the Boy Scouts and then service in the Marine Corps has given me the leadership traits that I feel are lacking in our state legislature. I also possess empathy and the eagerness to listen to constituents even if their view differs from my own. I'm also a blue collar working dad. I can relate to the struggles and strifes of average working citizens.
The only legacy that matters to me is being a good dad.
I remember the Gulf War and Operstion Desert Storm. I was in elementary school at that time. Of course, later I would be greatly affected by the tragedy of 9-11 as it unfolded in front of me in a high school classroom.
My first job was Merit Bage Councilor at summer Scout Camp. I worked there for four summers until I graduated high school and shipped off to the Marine Corps.
The two should remain separate with little influence between them as our founders intended.
Our greatest challenge in the next decade will be struggling to fund the programs that greatly need it due to the current tax cut and corporate rebate proposals.
No. Government is For the People, By the People. Everyone should have a chance to participate at any level no matter the experience.
Yes, as a legislative body, it is essential to make good connections and build rapport with others, even on the other side, to come to agreements that benefit everyone.
The first bill I would introduce is the repeal of the recently passed bill allowing teachers to carry firearms in classrooms.
VoteVets, Change TN
I one hundred percent stand behind total fiscal transparency for government.
I would love to see more ballot initiatives in Tennessee so that our citizens can play a direct roll in shaping the laws that govern us.
