It will be my pleasure to serve side by side with him in the Legislature and I urge everyone to vote for him on or before September 6th.”
“It is always an honor and privilege to receive the support of people you know and respect. However, these endorsements are special to me,” Robinson said in response. “As the 2 people currently representing Chelsea, Jessica and Dan have been advocates who fought to deliver the services and funding we deserve. I look forward to serving with them next year, and with YOUR support we can make that happen!”
