BOSTON — State Rep. Maria Robinson, D-Framingham, could be a step closer to leaving the Massachusetts House, now that a hearing has been scheduled on her nomination to join the Biden administration.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee announced it has scheduled a Feb. 3 hearing on Robinson's nomination as assistant secretary of energy in the Office of Electricity.
The committee is chaired by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va.
The 10 a.m. hearing will be held in the Dirksen Senate Office Building and the committee said that because Senate offices are not open to the public except for "official business visitors and credentialed press," in-person visitors will not be accommodated. The hearing will be streamed on the committee's website, with written witness testimony available online at the start of the hearing.
Robinson holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a master's degree in energy law from the University of Tulsa. She is a lecturer at Tufts University, according to the White House, and is a lifetime Girl Scout after earning her Silver Award.
