Mark Jeffreys

Cincinnati City Councilman
City of Cincinnati
Cincinnati, Ohio

Four years ago, I stepped away from running my business full time to enter public service. I was not born into politics or privilege. I started out as a janitor while my family was on food stamps. After losing my mother at 15, I worked as a union laborer to put myself through college, then attended business school and spent nearly 17 years at P&G, rising to be an executive before becoming a serial entrepreneur. As a private citizen, I helped secure a $1M P&G donation to create Smale Park’s goVibrantscape, transforming 4.5 acres of dilapidated parking lot into a world-class space. I left my CEO role in data analytics because I knew I could make a wider impact, especially for kids who grew up like me. Since my 2021 election, I have focused on improving the quality of life in our city. I now serve as Vice President of OKI Regional Council of Governments (first Cincinnati rep in 25 years), Chair of the Equitable Growth & Housing Committee, and sit on several others. As a proud father of four CPS children, I am committed to making Cincinnati safer, cleaner, and greener for all.
