Roxann L. Robinson (born January 11, 1956, in Weirton, West Virginia) is an American politician. A Republican, she was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 2010. She represented the 27th district, in Chesterfield County, in the southern suburbs of Richmond.[2][3]

Early life, education, business career[edit]

Robinson graduated from Brooke High SchoolinWellsburg, West Virginia, in 1974. She received a B.S. degree in biology from Fairmont State College in 1978. She then attended the Illinois College of Optometry, where she earned a B.S. in visual science and an O.D.[2][3]

Robinson married Michael Earl Lind, c. 1985. They settled in Chesterfield County, where she established an optometry practice.[2][3]

Virginia House of Delegates[edit]

On March 24, 2010, Governor Bob McDonnell appointed the 27th district incumbent, Republican Samuel A. Nixon, as Virginia's Chief Information Officer.[4] Robinson became the Republican nominee to succeed Nixon. She defeated Democrat William Brown, a county planning commissioner, in a special election on June 15, receiving 72% of the vote.[5] Robinson was unopposed for reelection in 2011 and 2013.[6]

In 2017, Robinson was opposed by Democrat Larry Barnett. The race was too close to call on election night, but Barnett conceded two days later, and Robinson won re-election by an estimated margin of 124 votes.[7]

In the 2018 Legislative Session, Robinson was appointed to chairman of the House Science and Technology Committee.[8]

In 2022, Robinson was promoted to chair of the Finance Committee.[9]
