Positions

LiberalConservative

Economy & Taxes

Supports fiscal conservatism and opposes raising taxes to close budget gaps, favoring government spending cuts and efficiency over tax increases. Describes himself as a fiscal conservative and opposes mandated wage increases such as a $15 minimum wage.

Healthcare

Will Robinson has sponsored and voted on state-level health-related legislation (including bills on nursing home CNA medication administration and medical malpractice law changes) and served on Florida House health committees, but his public record does not contain a clear, comprehensive position on broader federal healthcare policy such as the Affordable Care Act, Medicare expansion, or a public option.

Immigration & Border

The candidate supported state measures to assist federal immigration enforcement, including legislation requiring local detention facilities to enter agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to assist with immigration enforcement reporting. His legislative record shows sponsorship or association with bills expanding cooperation with ICE rather than advocacy for expanded asylum access or regularization pathways.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Supports statutory restrictions on abortion such as a 15-week limit and indicated support for Florida joining legal efforts (alongside Mississippi/Dobbs) to let the Supreme Court reconsider the viability standard. Has expressed disagreement with colleagues who oppose such restrictions.

Climate & Energy

Public records and local reporting show activity on both environmental protection (e.g., sponsoring legislation addressing nutrient runoff) and support for development- and industry-friendly measures that critics say undermine clean-energy or climate protections. Available sources do not show a clear, consistent stance in favor of aggressive climate action or an explicit pro-fossil-fuel agenda.

Public Safety & Guns

Supports the Second Amendment and describes himself as an avid supporter of gun rights while emphasizing conservative principles; no clear public statements found supporting major new firearm restrictions.
