Solon State Representative Holds Town Hall On Voting
State Rep. Phil Robinson hosted a virtual meeting on how to vote in the upcoming election.
SOLON, OH — Solon-based state Rep. Phil Robinson held a virtual community town hall this week. He discussed a variety of topics but focused primarily on voting in the upcoming general election.

Thus, I knew this was a crucial issue to address,” Robinson said. “We had a great discussion and got some great questions from those watching. I hope we were able to provide useful information to make it easier for voters to participate in our election process this year.”
