City Council Member Doria Robinson - District 3

08/26/2026

The Air District has released a preliminary health risk assessment for the Chevron refinery, providing the Richmond community with new information about potential health risks associated with refinery emissions.

📊 The assessment found that estimated cancer risk and other health risks exceed Air District action levels. Under the Facility Risk Reduction Program, findings equal to or above these thresholds require Chevron to take action to reduce health risks.

🤝 Community participation is a critical part of this process. The Air District will host a public meeting to explain the findings and public comment process on September 21 at 5:30 p.m. at the Richmond Memorial Auditorium and Convention Center.

➡️ The assessment is open for public comment through Monday, November 23, at 5 p.m. The Air District will review every comment received before finalizing the assessment. See the report: bit.ly/Health-Risk-Reduction

For the 3rd time FPPC “found insufficient evidence that you made, participated in or influenced a governmental decision in which you had a financial interest” (see official letter attached)

This is the result of the 3rd FPPC investigation instigated by Tom Butt ALL 3 investigations found insufficient evidence and closed the case.

This investigation cited me because on one occasion in 2023 during my first year in office although I recused myself and left the room not participating in the decision - I did not explicitly state the source of the conflict, my employers name, thus fining me for not clearing stating my employer.

At the time I did not have clear legal guidance that informed me of the exact words I would need to say to be fully compliant. After that instance I received legal advice and have clearly stated my conflict.

As I have always stated - I do all I can to follow the law at all times.

Over four years I made one error in the very beginning before I knew the exact words to say. I have been cited, paid the fine.

Read the letter for yourself (see attached)
