Mark Robinson emphasized his commitment to advocating for military and veterans' issues, stating, "I commit myself every day to stand up for these folks." This statement highlights his focus on improving veterans' care in North Carolina.
Despite his strong rhetoric about supporting veterans, records indicate that Robinson has not attended any meetings of the Military Affairs Commission during his tenure as lieutenant governor, raising questions about his engagement with veterans' issues.
The spokesperson for Robinson's office argued that his role on the Military Affairs Commission, though non-voting, allows him to have a substantive impact, pointing to his actions supporting legislation for military pensions.
Robinson’s office downplayed his absence from the MAC, stating, "He found ways to make a substantive impact on Veterans" through engagements across the state instead of attending the commission meetings.
