Davis Robb joined the youth wing of the Excalbia Liberal Party (LP) while a student at the University of Landing. Graduating in 1976 with a Masters of Public Administration, Robb went to work for the city administration of Valmiera. He quickly moved on positions of greater responsibility in the cities of New Boston, Southport and, finally, Landing.
In 1981, Robb went to work for the Imperial Senate Governmental Affairs committee as senior minority staff assistant. He quickly gained a reputation as an effective networker and negotiator. He left the Senate in 1983 to take a senior position on the LP’s National Committee.
After several years on the LPNC, Robb entered electoral politics and was elected to the Senate. He quickly rose within the ranks of the Senate’s Liberal Party faction and became a confident of LP leader Lady Jessica Tagaarth. Eventually, Robb was named the party’s Senate whip.
In the prelude to the 2005 elections Robb came to believe that Lady Jessica lacked the political will to use any issue – including the scandal surrounding Princess Christiana – as a platform to make the party’s case to the public. He successfully challenged Lady Jessica for leadership of the party and led the LP to its best showing in more than two decades.
After Lady Jessica was named Imperial Chancellor, Robb was named Minister of Defence. It is widely believed that Lady Jessica will retire in a year or two and that Robb will be named to replace her.
Robb has been married to the former Ashley Gordon since 1983. They have three children between the ages of 17 and 7.
