Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is routinely absent from some of the lieutenant governor’s primary job responsibilities, including presiding over sessions of the state Senate and serving on the State Board of Education and other boards.

Robinson 's attendance record prompted criticism from his Republican opponents in the primary campaign earlier this year .

A review of the lieutenant governor’s official calendar from 2023 shows no scheduling conflicts on many of the days when Robinson did not attend the session.

Robinson 's absences have meant that Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger has been the most frequent person to preside over the Senate during the past three years .
