Positions
Economy & Taxes
Robbie Brackett has participated in House committees and legislation addressing property-tax relief and local business tax burdens, and has advanced bills (e.g., HB 645) that were described as favoring business-friendly tax treatment. His work on the House Select Committee on Property Taxes and involvement in bills to modify or reduce non-school property taxes indicate a position favoring tax relief and reductions rather than tax increases.
Healthcare
Robbie Brackett has sponsored and passed state legislation related to healthcare administration and payments (for example, a 2026 bill on compensation for inmate healthcare services in Indian River County). Public materials show involvement with local healthcare issues but do not present a clear, comprehensive policy position on broader topics such as the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid expansion, a public option, or Medicare for All.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Robbie (Robert) Brackett voted in favor of Florida legislation that substantially restricts abortion by prohibiting most abortions after about six weeks of gestation while including limited exceptions. His legislative record shows support for restrictive abortion limits rather than protecting unrestricted access or codifying broad abortion rights.
Climate & Energy
Robbie Brackett has sponsored and supported state legislation that preempts local ordinances and curtails local regulatory authority on issues that can include environmental measures; his bills emphasize regulatory certainty for businesses and limiting local government actions. He has carried proposals affecting water and utility regulation and backed measures framed around energy reliability and limiting certain local climate-related policies.
