Robinson, who has collected almost $20,000, has raised more contributions than any other Democratic or Republican candidate county wide. The candidate, who supports the movement toward Clean Money Campaign Reform, has raised his campaign contributions from individual contributors, and is not seeking lobbyist money from special interests.
“Pundits told us that it was impossible, said Robinson, “saying that times were tough and support from working people and volunteers could never go toe to toe with lobbyist money. But with our first year-end financial filing now completed we are proving them wrong. Although there's still a long way to go, $10, $20, $50 and $100 contributions from individual citizens have helped us raise more money than any other candidate in our district so far.”
On Friday, February 5, the Swing State Project, Michigan Blogger, and several other publishers reported that the campaign is a forerunner in the race.
“New jobs must be our first priority,” said Robinson, “We’ve got to set aside special interests, political point scoring, and the worn out policies of the past to create a new and sensible vision for Michigan. Things are rough now but I believe that impossible situations can disguise great opportunities. We have everything we need in Eaton County to secure our success in future days.”
Robinson, who will attempt to finance his campaign without special interest contributions, hopes to earn and gain the support of district voters across party lines. “The people of Eaton County want someone to represent their families and their peers. They want someone to communicate their beliefs and values at the Capitol – a partner to help ensure the future for their children and grandchildren. We don’t need more politics in Lansing right now we need people – citizen advocates – who will work to improve the lives of ever day folks.”
