What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

1) Longterm resolution of the current crisis in education

2) Endorsing a multi-faceted approach to the opioid crisis

3) Eliminating obstacles to improved economic freedom[4][5]

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

I'm passionate about improving the life and daily living conditions of all West Virginians. The struggles of the residents of WV are real, and it's embarrassing to watch WV leaders publicly humiliate our state on the national stage year after year.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[5]

[the profile publisher] also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Rollan A. Roberts answered the following:

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I'm looking for spiritual wisdom from my Lord to guide me first and foremost. I'm not impressed with the actions or leadership of any of our state leaders. I believe there are some in both chambers who are sincerely trying to help WV but have had only limited success.[5]

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

The Bible[5]

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, Integrity, Passion, and Communication skills are all important.[5]

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Proven Leadership from over 42 years as a servant-leader.[5]

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Diligence and discernment are to be exercised continually to investigate all of the various topics that will come up in bills.[5]

What legacy would you like to leave?

I would like to leave a legacy that I really cared for WV and was used of God to help people.[5]

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Bible. It gave me purpose in life as a teenager and guidance throughout adulthood.[5]

What process do you favor for redistricting?

WV has a great process for redistricting every 10 years.[5]

Roberts submitted the following campaign themes through [the profile publisher]’s biographical information submission form:

My goal is to use my proven leadership skill set to advance conservative, common sense, WV progress-oriented, vision, and savvy to the senate chamber with honesty and integrity.

For 30 years in Beaver, I've steadily and successfully worked in our church and school ministry while trying to keep people on the positive track hoping that our legislative leaders would improve life. Sensing the same feelings of frustration that everyone seems to have and realizing that God wanted me to make myself available to become part of the solution process, I filed for office.

WV is at a crucial point in its history. Coal has made a bit of a comeback, and we have a window of time to develop new economic ventures while addressing problems that plague our state. I believe the opioid crisis can be stemmed with a multi-faceted approach. The Coalfields Expressway and other infrastructure projects desperately need to be completed. The crisis in our education system and PEIA healthcare need to be fashioned for greater success. My proven leadership success can be very influential in addressing these and all of the other pressing issues facing our state.
