McDONOUGH — Twenty-six years of living in Henry County has prompted Jeff Robinson to run for public office in seeking the District 2 seat on the Henry County Board of Commissioners.
“I’m real concerned with the growth and the direction our county’s heading,” said Robinson. “I just want to try to be a solution to some of the problems we’ve got coming our way and see if I can help make a difference.”
