Alexander Robinson

Alexander Robinson (born January 6th, 1968) is an American politician who served as the Vice Ranking Member of the Finance – Division III committee as the Representative for Manchester (Ward 6). A former member of the Republican Party, Robinson was forced to resign from the party controversially after it was leaked by the Rolling Stone in 1992 that he was in a relationship with Brett Collymore, a classical liberal male economist who had worked for the Cato Institute (whom he would later end up in a civil union with, as gay marriage was not legal at the time in New Hampshire). He remained in the party as an independent and was re-elected continuously in large margins until he stated he would not run for another term after seeking to run in New Hampshire's 1st district in the 2002 midterms. In January 2001, Robinson formed the Serve America Movement, a big tent political party that he formed despite registering as an independent in 1992. Robinson is the Serve America Movement nominee for the 2002 U.S. House election in New Hampshire's 1st district.

Early life
Robinson was born to James Robinson, a small business owner, and Amelia Robinson, a former school board member, on January 6th, 1974 in Manchester, New Hampshire. By his sophomore year of high school, he had completed nearly all of his graduation requirements as a valedictorian and had few course options available because the school district had recently discontinued most of the Advanced Placement and other advanced courses due to budget cuts and teacher union negotiations. However, school district policy allowed him to graduate early at the age of 16. Robinson received his law and business degree from Southern New Hampshire University and graduated in 1994. He worked in a law firm in Manchester, New Hampshire for the next 2 years until he left in order to run in the 1996 New Hampshire House of Representatives election as a Republican for Manchester (Ward 6).

New Hampshire legislature
Robinson was elected as the youngest member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives in state history. In the House of Representatives, Robinson introduced a record of 204 bills, of which 182 bills became law. They dealt with tax reform, small businesses, healthcare, education, infrastructure, housing, affordability, lowering gas prices, lowering prescription drug prices, fiscal responsibility, diversity, electoral reform, income inequality, and criminal justice reform. CBS News called Robinson "the most energetic and hard-working Representative of any state in the country." More sections will be added later on.
