Meet Robbie
Robert “Robbie” Parks is a pastor, church planter, software engineer, and Penn State graduate who has spent years in campus ministry walking with students through real life.
He studied math and physics at Penn State and has worked in software and small business, giving him a front‑row view of how policy, technology, and the economy actually affect ordinary families.
Robbie is a Jesus‑first, people‑first conservative. He has always voted pro‑life and pro‑family, and he cares deeply about protecting children, strengthening marriages, and supporting parents.
He and his family have lived in both modest comfort as a software engineer and scraping by as a church planter, so when he talks about inflation, wages, and housing, he speaks from personal experience.
He is running for Congress to defend the Constitution, protect children and families, rein in corporate and government abuse, and build an economy where work, creativity, and community are valued.
He believes strongly in a country where one income can realistically support a family, where government helps and protects its citizens, and where America stands as a beacon of light and peace to the world.
Platform Overview
Robbie’s platform is Jesus‑first, pro‑life, and pro‑family, treating every unborn child as a human life, children as a blessing, and shaping policy so it is easier to marry, stay married, and raise kids on one income.
He wants laws that protect unborn children and provide real support for women and families.
He is a constitutional conservative who cares deeply about the Bill of Rights’ purpose in protecting the people from tyranny, wants non‑retirement investment gains taxed like wages, and would end billionaire write‑offs, corporate loopholes, and “spend now, save over ten years” budget gimmicks while paying down the national debt.
He will protect children and fix schools by ensuring that schools do not promote sexual or gender ideologies over the faith and values of families, restoring strong basics and civics, tying graduation to real learning, elevating homeschooling, and promoting trades alongside college.
He supports secure but open borders with strong screening, humane treatment, skill‑aware immigration, a fair path for peaceful people already here illegally, and a relentless fight against human trafficking.
He would crack down on pornography and recreational drug abuse, prosecuting those who profit from exploitation and addiction, while treating users as people to be set free through real rehabilitation.
He backs a local‑first economy and housing policy that makes sitting on investment houses expensive, helps families buy their first home, taxes imports and offshored labor, and subsidizes and prioritizes local workers and makers.
He wants clean elections and honest campaigns with voter ID, simple approval voting, verifiable ballots, strict spending caps, and blind trusts for candidates.
He will defend privacy, health, and community by preserving cash and financial privacy, stopping mass surveillance, reining in Big Tech and AI, making healthcare prices transparent, rewarding healthy living, and protecting Social Security and Medicare.
Key Priorities
- Jesus‑First, Pro‑Life, Pro‑Family – I believe life begins at conception, children are a blessing, and policy should make it easier to marry, stay married, and raise kids on one income if needed.
- Constitution Over Party – No president is above the law. I am a conservative who cares more about the Bill of Rights than about any party boss or personality.
- Tax Work and Wealth Fairly – Non‑retirement investment gains taxed like wages, an annual tax on big financial gains, and an end to billionaire write‑offs and corporate loopholes.
- Debt, Not Gimmicks – No more “spend now, save over ten years” tricks. Balance spending with real savings this year and start paying down the national debt.
- Protect Kids and Fix Schools – Parents first in deciding what is age‑appropriate on sex and gender in K–12, strong basics, serious civics, real graduation standards, high‑quality homeschooling, and trades alongside college.
- Secure but Open Borders – Strong screening, humane treatment, skill‑aware immigration, and a fair path for peaceful people already here illegally, plus a relentless fight against human trafficking.
- Ban Pornography and Hard Drugs – Pornography and recreational drugs illegal; producers and dealers prosecuted, users treated as people to be set free through rehabilitation programs.
- Local‑First Economy and Housing – Make it expensive to sit on investment houses, help families buy their first home, tax imports and offshored labor, and subsidize and prioritize local workers and makers.
- Clean Elections and Honest Campaigns – Voter ID for everyone, simple approval voting, vote verification system, strict spending caps, and blind trusts for candidates.
- Defend Privacy, Health, and Community – Keep cash and financial privacy, stop mass surveillance, tame Big Tech and AI, make healthcare prices clear, reward healthy living, and protect Social Security and Medicare.
