Having resided in Lincoln County since 1993, the candidate said, "My desire is to serve the people of District 4 with integrity, honesty, and fair representation. There are many concerns and issues in District 4 that need to be addressed, including the inflation of taxes, how money is distributed for each district, road conditions, and a fair tax relief for senior citizens.

The candidate also owned a very successful business in Surfside Beach, South Carolina, for 13 years.

Concerning community activities, Robinson has served as president of Sertoma International, a men's civic organization. During his term as president, he spearheaded the construction of a $70,000 children's park in Surfside Beach that was completed in 1990.

He is a proven business and community leader with knowledge and the desire to make Lincoln County work best for its people.

Robinson and his wife, Nell, have two children and four grandsons.
