Meet JDR
Janice D Robinson, BS, MS, OTR/L
In 2016 with the election of Donald Trump, Janice began a personal crusade to do everything she could to ensure he would not be re-elected for a second term. Janice became Chair of her Precinct in a historically Republican stronghold (Ballantyne), wrote out a strategy with the help of 5 other members, and turned her precinct into a solid “Blue” Democratic stronghold. Janice continued her crusade by organizing several other precincts around hers and she continues to mentor those precinct officers to help them increase their democratic voter turnout. She has also worked on precinct organizing in Black/Brown populated districts in Charlotte as well.
After the death of George Floyd and the ensuing protests, Janice organized a BLM protest in Ballantyne in which 1000+ residents attended. Through her work in Campaign Consulting & Community Organizing, Janice will work to ensure inclusive values and issues have a voice at the political table.
Janice has a BS degree in Business Administration (Management Focus), MS degree in Occupational Therapy. She is the NC Program Director for Red Wine and Blue, serves on the Mecklenburg County Nursing Home Advisory Committee, and is a 2021 Spring Fellow of the North Carolina Institute of Political Leadership (IOPL). Janice is a member of the African American Caucus of the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party, serves as Chair of Precinct 148 of the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party, and is a founding member of Black Women of South Mecklenburg.
