David Roberson did not complete Ballotpedia's 2024 Candidate Connection survey.

Campaign website

Roberson’s campaign website stated the following:

Medical Freedom

I support the right of individuals to seek medical and healthcare of their choice. I support a free market, in which government does not restrict access to care.

Taxation

I believe the individual is entitled to the entire fruits of their labor. Therefore, every tax established by the government is theft.

Second Amendment

I support individuals' unalienable right to own and carry arms and body armor for defense, in line with the Non-Aggression Principle and the Second Amendment.

Property Rights

I strongly support property rights not being subject to infringement or interference by any individual or government entity.[2]
