With a history of public service as a precinct chair in Amarillo, Robinson is no stranger to political discourse and grassroots engagement. He actively participated in rewriting precinct bylaws and developed a passion for political discussions and canvassing.
“I mean, since I was a kid, I've always loved you know, following politics. I've always felt like it's my duty to vote, and if the opportunity runs to lead then go for it. I feel like I can help and can bring fiscal responsibility. That's something that's a big part of what I care about.”
Robinson's four main focuses for the island reflect his commitment to community well-being. Pedestrian safety tops the list, advocating for enhanced visibility in crosswalk lights. Business improvement comes next, acknowledging the role of local businesses in driving the economy. Fiscal responsibility is paramount for Robinson, emphasizing the need for a balanced budget and getting the most value for every dollar spent. Finally, he is dedicated to boosting voter engagement, encouraging every islander to make their voice heard.
As Robinson embarks on this new chapter, his commitment to being a good listener and understanding the community's stories is evident. He emphasizes the importance of transparent governance and the people's vigilance in a democracy.
“It’s important that the government is being open and upfront with what they do. As people in a democracy, it is we've got to keep an eye on that,” says Robinson.
