An Evening with Jeff Kinney and Brandt Robinson

An Evening with Jeff Kinney and Brandt Robinson

Did you grow up with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid  books? Are you old enough to vote? 

Please join author Jeff Kinney and Brandt Robinson, a history teacher and FL House District 13 candidate, for an evening of fun where attendees can:

• Ask Questions
• Check your Voter Status
• Grab merch
• Hang out, play games

This is the perfect place for new District-13 voters to engage in a live Q&A. 

No pop quizzes. 

Just a real conversation between two friends talking about the importance of being engaged in democracy,  

• The Coliseum, Saint Petersburg
• Date June 18th, 2026
• Doors open at 4:30 pm, event starts at 5:30 pm (concessions and drinks sold)
• $20 per ticket, or $30 for a ticket and an event t-shirt

Some of the most meaningful connections we have aren’t just to each other—they’re to the stories that shaped us. That’s why I’m so excited to host an evening with Jeff Kinney, the author behind Diary of a Wimpy Kid, for a generation that literally grew up turning those pages—and now has the power to turn the page in our democracy.

This will be a fun, laid-back night where we bring people together for a live conversation between Jeff and me about creativity, education, and what it means to grow up and find your voice. We’ll have games inspired by the humor and spirit of the world-famous books, a chance to meet Jeff during a book signing, and most importantly, opportunities for voter registration—because your voice matters now more than ever.

This campaign is about meeting people where they are, building community, and making civic engagement feel accessible and even joyful. If you grew up with these stories, this night is for you—not just to look back, but to step forward.
