In February 2021, Lobb was the sole Conservative MP to vote in favour of an NDP-proposed motion to take a first step towards developing a national pharmacare system. The bill, proposed by Peter Julian, would have established the conditions for federal financial contributions to provincial drug insurance plans.

The Bill is currently in Third Reading in the House of Commons. Each summer, Lobb runs a minor baseball camp for youth in his riding to foster their skills development in the sport. The two-day camps in Clinton and Kincardine regularly have a headlining instructor who previously played in the MLB. Electoral record
