Representing the communities of Middletown Springs, Pawlet, Rupert, Tinmouth, and Wells

Working for you

My goal and passion is to improve the lives of the hard-working people of this district and all Vermonters. I’m running on a solid record of working across the aisle serving you, not special interests. I do not ever and never have accepted corporate or PAC donations.

On Policy

Action is the way to hope, and hope is necessary for action.  Policy is how we get things done. I can help with the issues that are important to you.

Meet Robin

I grew up on a farm in western New York and settled in Middletown Springs in 1991, where my wife Melissa and I raised our daughters and are active in the community. As a self-employed builder for over 20 years, I understand the challenges of both small business owners and people working in the trades. Elected to the Vermont House in 2014-2018 and then again in 2022, I have served on key committees and earned a reputation for being pragmatic and open-minded. Currently, I serve as the Vice Chair of the Vermont House Committee on General and Housing. I am also a realtor with McChesney Real Estate in Pawlet.
