In information submitted to Ballotpedia, Robertson stated, "I am running in opposition to the Republican budget of my district. $27 million has been cut from the schools and local government funds of my district, yet tax rates have remained essentially unchanged. As a state senator, my goal will be to return more revenue to district 10, without raising taxes."[1]
