Rob Noble completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Noble's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Stop Party Line Politics: We have seen this happen during this pandemic and we are at a stalemate in Lansing. We need to stop electing 'politicians' and elect regular people to actually have discussions to improve the districts we represent and to improve the state of Michigan.
- Public Saftey: We need our 1st responders and we need to ensure that they have the equipment and ability to do their jobs. Our former Democratic Rep. voted for defunding our valuable assets who protect us and our properties. ( see HR277) Why would we allow another Democrat to do the same?
- Protect our Seniors: Our seniors are our pride of our communities. They helped build our cities and we need to protect them. Or current governor and Democratic Rep,. stood with the Governor on HR 276. 2020 House Resolution 276: Oppose decision to put coronavirus cases in nursing homes. The Democrats stood against our seniors then why will the future be different?
1) One item that riles me more than most is the discussion with grade school children of sex and transgenderism. This is WRONG!
There is plenty of time for a child to gage their personal lifestyle and a grade school child should be a kid, learning and playing and not thinking about issues such as this! This should not be discussed or presented in any school in the State of Michigan.
2) Our teachers are valuable and they should not be forced to take pay cuts or lay-offs because of ‘our’ draconian Governor and her horrible decisions.
My Grandfather was another amazing man. He came from Italy and worked hard for the Chicago Transit Authority. He barely spoke English and was so beloved that his funeral procession was nearly a mile long. It showed that an immigrant to our nation can succeed and be a man of honor.
From a political stand point if was John Kennedy. He was a true inspiration to a nation. JFK, in today's world may have been considered a republican because of his views. He maintained an open mind and listened to all people regardless of party affiliation. Great ideas are on both sides and when we close out those ideas because it comes from a republican or a democrat, the people lose, the state loses and the country is damaged. This is what is occurring in our state and on a federal level. This country is so divided based on political party lines we should be embarrassed as a people that we allow this to continue to occur.
I am fiscally responsible yet I am moderate on social issues.
An official must make every effort to meet with their constituents as frequently as possible. They must remain in the loop and hear the concerns of the people in their district. I have not seen this by our prior represetnatives.
An offcial should also be focused on the rule of law. We must protect our citizens.
I am not pro political party but pro-person
I am my own person with my own opinions and my own ability to make an informed decision
I am a constitutional conservative
I am a believer in self responsibility
I am a believer in the rule of law and I support law enforcement 100%
I am convinced that a socialist agenda is detrimental to the state and country
I am pro-life but believe in the law and a woman's choice under that law.
I am a believer that all people regardless of race, color, creed, age, sexual preference deserve respect and any discrimination under any circustance is unacceptable.
We are ALL individuals and not a democrat or republican or libertarian or any other political organization.
To this day I remember the shock on my parents faces.
JFK was an amazing leader and as I grew older and learned more about him. He was an inspiration to me. He showed that regardless of political party the parties can talk and find the solutions that improved our country. That has long been forgotten by our current parties and we need to change that and it states at the state house level. We do not need to keep electing 'career' politicians to office, that is the fly in the ointment that breaks down our democratic society.
It was a good job and it taught me about sales. I watched the salespeople and managers and they taught me how to be a good salesperson.
Time is the once thing we can never get back once it is gone.
The Governor has the ability to veto decisions by the house legislature and the ability to lead the legislative branch toward proposals he/she see for the betterment of the state.
The relationship between the Governor and the legislature is paramount to the success of the state while maintaining a balanced budget, and maintaining fiscal responsibility.
Our Governor is not doing a thing to help the people of Michigan.
On the other hand, she is trying to stop Line 5 which distributes crude oil and propane when the citizens are hurting from this excessive energy pricing.
She is once again is stepping on the throats of the working people of Michigan.
Line 5 is the source of 65% of propane in the state’s upper peninsula and provides 55% of Michigan’s supply of the fossil fuel. That is a huge amount and Whitmer wants it shut down at the worst time in our history.
Michigan has the 10th highest gasoline taxes in the United States.
With the gas tax and sales tax Michiganders are adding over .40 cents a gallon to the cost of the fuel itself. We need leaders to lead and that should equate to a 2-year moratorium on the gas tax and its sales tax to help the people of Michigan through this energy crisis facing the working class in the State of Michigan.
We need different ideas and concept and a procedural voting process of checks and balances. To have one group vote without checks and balances can send us into a tailspin we cannot recover from.
It is a not, it is a business that buys, spends and hires and terminates employees. Their product is the laws of the state and making the state whole, profitable and stable; just as any other business desires to accomplish.
I believe we need people who do many things very well.
(1) is to understand people and what is important to them.
This is done by (#2) Listening to the people, all of the people regardless of party affiliation.
(3) Control spending just as we do in our households. We cannot overspend in our personal lives as we should not in government.
(4) Negotiate: a legislator needs to have the ability to negotiate and sell their concepts. A politician, as we have seen in the past two years, does not have the ability to negotiate. We have seen this come to the forefront during the Covid pandemic. We saw lines drawn in the sand with no concern for ALL of the people.
(5) A good legislator needs to question the actions of government. This is an area where a 'politician' fails and we see party line politics rear its ugly head over and over again.
(6) Lastly, we need to hold our politicians accountable and this is not happening in our state. The only people that can do this is the people, WE THE PEOPLE at the voting booth.
The only way we will accomplish anything in Lansing is to sit down and talk and learn about others. We all have a common ground and we just need the desire to find it. Just because a person represents the democrats or republicans or libertarians does not make them the enemy. This is a lesson lost in Lansing.
Another would be the Elections and Ethics committee. We need fair and ethical election law and we need serious tranparency in this area. What we saw in this state in 2020 (on video) is not acceptable. We need to ensure that all citizens of Michigan know that their vote is valuable and each vote counts.
We saw the Michigan Supreme Court vote and say her actions were unconstitutional and yet she continued.
We do not need a dictator or a tyrant.
But this does not occur in today's political world. Look at DC and see the insanity affecting our country. The hatred for our past president and the actions by the left to destroy and affect his presidency was atrocious. We have seen this for years and years, Bush, Obama, Trump, now Biden. We have seen the anger and frankly the hatred from both sides, we see the far left wanting to make us socialist and we sit back and allow this. This is not compromise this is devastation to a nation. It is at the forefront in DC and we see the division.
Party Line Politics is alive and well in this state and it is hurting us. We have seen that in the votes of the Democrats who stood with Whitmer in HR276 to put covid patients into nursing facilities. Think about this... our most vulnerable being affected by a devasting disease and the Democrats thought this was a good idea. HOW is that a good idea? DEMOCRAT Jim Ellison voted not to oppose this.
June 2020… House Resolution vote: HR277 To Discourage local units of government from defunding Police.
DEMOCRAT Jim Ellison voted NO! Dems want to defund the police and this will affect our security. HOW is this a good idea in any realm?

I am a US Navy Veteran, a former Cook County Illinois Deputy Sheriff, I own a small business and have spent over 30 years in sales, management and finance. I am married to a wonderful woman who has been a school teacher for the past 28 years. I live in Madison Heights. I have a daughter and 3 grandchildren and 3 furry kids. It is time for logic in Lansing and I can deliver. Just visit my website and watch my video’s www.robfordistrict26.com.
- I stand for our Police and Fire Fighters. As a former Deputy I wore the blue and I know what it takes to be on the front line.
- I stand for our seniors. Placing Covid patients in nursing facilities is no less than manslaughter. We need to protect those who need it the most.
- I stand with our teachers. Our educators need and deserve the best in income and benefits and we need to retain good solid educators in Michigan.
I will not vote to raise any taxes on our citizens. They have suffered enough through this pandemic and the draconian rules by a tyrannical governor. They lost jobs, lost their businesses, lost their health insurance, lost their dream and their hope and our citizens deserve better from our government.
I feel our seniors need to be taken care of and should have a freeze on their property taxes with no school age children living in their homes. They have paid their dues to society and the communities and we cannot force them out with excessive property taxes.
To be able to discuss ideas with all people involved.
We cannot achieve this with career politicians. We have seen the status quo for so many years we should know better. It starts with this election.
We have seen what we DO NOT need as a Governor in the Covid situation. We have also seen how the democrats stood with Whitmer and Not the people who hired them and we have seen the Governor ignore and reject the republican response. Our system is broken and we need to replace them all and start fresh. It is our only hope of fixing Lansing.
We are just people with different views. Where is gets murky is the party lines. I may be a Republican, but there are some good Democratic ideas to help the people of the state. We need to look at that and see what is best for the people. A good State Rep. does not vote no on a bill because it is a Democrat Bill or Republican bill. We see this too often. A good Rep votes for what is best for the people not the party. We have a good portion of career politicians who stopped working together years ago and have been brought into a system that is a stalemate. Then we as citizens ask why nothing gets done. We did it to ourselves by continuing voting in the same people..... it is time for a change.. write in NOBLE August 4th!
