Winner: Lee Jones (D)
Perry Robinson (R)
![]() Perry Robinson, a resident of Monroe County his entire life, has been a tradesman for the last 35 years. He has been a Union electrician for over 20 plus years. He has served on the examining board for the IBEW local #725 for three years and currently serves on the Van Buren Water Board. He has been a General Foreman in his role as an electrician, leading teams to achieve work goals as well as being responsible for safety protocols. In 2020 and 2021 he was head of Quality Control for a multi-million-dollar job. Most recently, he was promoted to the Business Development Team with Miller-Eads Company. Among his peers he is known as the “P.R. man”, a.k.a., the public relations man. This background of leadership and project management in the trades prepares Robinson very well for the responsibilities of overseeing county road improvements, bridge maintenance, zoning ordinances, and the county health department. He certainly plans to represent Monroe County constituents when performing these duties. However, he also brings some common sense values to the table.
