Mike Robinson, a husband, father, business owner, and longtime resident of Wellsburg in Brooke County, has entered the race for the Third District seat in the West Virginia House of Delegates.
“I’m running because District 3 deserves leadership that shows up, listens, and focuses on real solutions,” Robinson said. “People want someone fighting for everyday families — not another rubber stamp for national partisan politics.”
Robinson has emphasized strengthening public education and supporting teachers and school staff.
“Our teachers are the backbone of our communities,” he said. “Their pay and the respect they receive should reflect their value, not some bureaucratic spreadsheet.”
Robinson has also made seniors and community engagement central priorities.
“We owe our seniors more than words,” Robinson said. “They helped build this community, and they deserve to see it thrive at its full potential again.”
Another major focus of Robinson’s campaign is addressing substance use disorder and expanding access to treatment in the Northern Panhandle.
“Incarceration is roughly three times as costly to taxpayers as treatment through a state health care plan,” Robinson said. “Treatment is often the smarter investment, and we don’t have enough resources available right now.”
Robinson has worked in a variety of roles throughout the Valley, including local business and media, and has coached youth baseball and basketball in city and church leagues. He is a member of the Follansbee-Wellsburg Area Chamber of Commerce and serves as CEO of RenewWell Group LLC, a real estate development company focused on creating new and accessible substance use disorder treatment centers across the Northern Panhandle.
“This campaign is about the people of District 3,” Robinson said. “I’m ready to work with my neighbors and deliver results in Charleston.”
