STRONG FAMILIES
A strong state starts at home with strong families. Through initiatives supporting childcare improvement and parents’ rights to protect their children, Clifton is devoted to strengthening Columbia County
families.STRONG BUSINESSES
As a small business owner himself, Rob firmly believes we need to get the government out of the way of our businesses so that they can thrive. Clifton is committed to promoting policies that enforce low taxes and empower business owners to invest in their employees.STRONG COMMUNITIES
A safe community is a strong community. Rob believes we must ensure our law enforcement has the support and resources they need to protect our communities. We must elect candidates who believe in upholding the rule of law.
Clifton also believes we must
continue to invest in infrastructure to maintain a standard of excellence in
Columbia County.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
As a small business owner, my goal is to ease the burden on small businesses. As a born and raise Columbia County resident, my goal is to keep the conservative values we have here front and center. As a father to 2 great kids, my goal is to keep Columbia County a generational place for my kids to grow up along with their kids.
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
I worked for our family business every summer since I was in middle school. It taught hard work and dedication.
Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?
No. I am fighting for the future of my kids and the rest of the families in Columbia County. The last thing I want to do is pull my kids out of this great county and put them somewhere else.
