Jay Robinson.


PLACE FOUR

Jay Robinson is seeking a third term on the city council. 

From his Facebook page:

"I'm excited to announce that I’ll be seeking reelection to the Fairhope City Council.
If you know me, you’ve probably heard me say it before—I truly believe there’s no better place to live and raise a family than Fairhope. My wife, Alex, and I feel so fortunate to be raising our children in this amazing community. It’s not just the beauty of Fairhope—it’s the people that make it so special.
This city is full of caring, hardworking people who give so much to make Fairhope the place we all love. Serving on the City Council has been an honor, and I’m proud of the progress we’ve made with Mayor Sullivan, our city staff, and fellow council members.
 
Looking ahead, I’m especially excited about:
🌿 The upcoming opening of the Flying Creek Nature Preserve
🌹 The full reopening of the Fairhope Pier, rose garden, and parks
🏫 The groundbreaking and upcoming construction at the K-1 Center property
🚧 Continued major infrastructure improvements happening across our city
⚾️ Continued improvements to our growing recreation programming and facilities
To everyone who’s offered kind words, support, and prayers: thank you. As I begin this campaign, I humbly ask for your continued support.
Let’s keep working together—for Fairhope, for our families, and for future generations."

The bio says he’a member of the “Defense Lawyers Association.” I prefer someone who is part of the "Prosecution Lawyers Association." In my experience, Defense lawyers tend to be Democrats.

I do believe that Jay Robinson is a good man and a hard worker, and I'm running against him.
FWIW, I'm neither a crazy leftist nor crazy religious fanatic.

Publisher, does anyone know if Jay Robinson is a Democrat or Republican? Is he required to make that public since he’s running for office? My guess is Jay is a solid Democrat but he’ll never admit it.

Municipal elections are non partisan. You may want to ask him.

How does a guy who does not really support historical preservation get appointed to the historic commission?

Mr. Gibbons, that was a very classy thing to say about Mr. Robinson. You have my vote!

This information is a little outdated. Mr. Robinson has 4 children, ages 16, 12, 8 and 4. He is also a corporate defense attorney, not a criminal defense attorney. He is definitely a republican.
