Not on the November ballot
Robinson is not on the November ballot for this seat. Adam Hamawy and Gregg Mele are.
A primary result is a filed fact about a contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Robinson's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

Spending to support them
$172K- Servant-Leader Fund$172K
Spending to oppose them
No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.
How these directions are decided
Independent expenditures reported to the FEC. The supporting or opposing direction is each committee's own declared filing, not an interpretation, and a group spending against a candidate is not necessarily spending for their opponent. Outside money is not the campaign's money and is never added to what they raised.
In their own words
What Robinson's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Robinson's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “Universal Healthcare”
- “Good Paying Jobs & Livable Wages”
- “LGBTQ+ Community”
- “Housing / Affordable Housing”
- “Access to Excellent Education Regardless of Zip Code”
- “Climate Justice & Clean Energy”
- “Public Safety”
- “Immigration Enforcement Accountability”
- “Defending Democracy Against Authoritarianism”
Quoted from shanel4congress.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.
Record in office
Robinson has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.
That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
