Robbins the First to Enter Open Race

JUPITER – A 30-year-old Highwood Circle man has announced plans to run for the seat Tom McCarthy plans to leave when his term expires in the spring.

“I believe preservation of our quality of life requires maintaining our course of growth and promoting a healthy business environment,” said Jeff Robbins, a project manager for Sloane Construction.

Robbins said he had been planning to run for about two months and recently opened up his campaign account.

He lists himself as a member of the Pine Gardens Neighborhood Planning Board, Friends of Jupiter Beach and Friends of the Loxahatchee River, and a founding member of the Palm Beach County Chapter of Citizens for a Sound Economy.
