ROBERT ON THE ISSUES

Rural Broadband Internet Access

Robert is Northern Alabama’s top advocate for rural broadband expansion.

He saw that Alabama was 38th in broadband access and is fighting to connect Alabama’s communities -- both rural and urban -- with reliable, high-speed internet. Why? Because internet access drives innovation and connection. That’s how we move Alabama forward -- especially now that schools, medicine, and jobs are increasingly becoming digital.

Robert has raised this critical issue in the halls of Congress and penned a letter to President Trump underscoring the importance to our communities both in Alabama and across America.

Here are some of the results Robert has delivered for broadband expansion:

Led the way on securing $625 million in funding for rural broadband expansion in rural communities across the country
Strongly encouraged the United States Department of Agriculture to increase investments in rural broadband infrastructure to $62.3 million
Leveraged public-private partnerships to provide broadband internet access to over ten thousand homes, businesses, farms, remote healthcare facilities, essential community centers, and healthcare facilities

Pro-Life Advocacy

Robert is one of the leading Pro-Life Members on Congress.

He has spent over a decade protecting the most vulnerable among us, and he has led efforts to defend life and elevate abortion alternatives. Robert believes that every life is a gift from God and should be celebrated, which is why he has participated in the March for Life, supported a ban on federal health coverage that includes abortion procedures, and fought against using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions both at home and abroad.

He has also used his important committee assignments to push for FDA protections for embryos and Pro-Life regulatory efforts. He will not rest until our country is free of abortion practices.

Here are some of the achievements Robert has earned for his Pro-Life work:

‘A’ rating on National Pro-Life Scorecard by the Susan B. Anthony List
Endorsed and rated 100% by the National Right to Life Committee -- the nation’s leading Pro-Life organization
Serves as the Co-Chair of the House Values Action Team
Serves as the Co-Chair of the Congressional Adoption Caucus
