Biography


Robson was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and now lives in Beloit, Wisconsin. She received a B.S.N. degree from St. John's College in Cleveland, and a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1976. She is a registered nurse. Before being elected to public office, Robson worked as a nurse and as an instructor, primarily at Blackhawk Technical College.
Robson was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in June 1987 in a special election to replace Timothy Weeden (who had been elected to the state Senate). She was reelected to her seat several times and served in that house until 1999. In 1998, she was elected to the Wisconsin Senate and reelected in 2002. Robson was selected by her peers to be the Senate Democratic leader in 2005. She was reelected in 2006 and became the Majority Leader of the Wisconsin State Senate in 2007 following the Democratic takeover of the Senate in the 2006 elections. The day after passage of the 2007-2008 state budget, the Senate Democratic Caucus elected Russ Decker to replace Robson as Majority Leader.
Robson did not seek reelection in 2010 and was succeeded by Timothy Cullen, who had held the senate seat prior to Tim Weeden.
