Meet Greg Landsman
GREG IS RUNNING FOR REELECTION TO KEEP FIGHTING FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES HERE AT HOME.
A former public school teacher, Greg Landsman has spent his career fighting for working families. Greg led the Preschool Promise initiative, which now provides two years of quality preschool for Cincinnati's three- and four-year-olds, and spent five years on Cincinnati City Council. Today, Greg proudly represents Southwest Ohio in Congress, where he continues to champion what matters most to those at home: protecting our freedoms, lowering costs, and making it easier to raise a family.
Born and raised in Greater Cincinnati, Greg attended public schools before going to Ohio University to study Economics and Political Science. After college, Greg worked as a public high school teacher. In the aftermath of 9/11, he was inspired to study faith and religion. Greg earned a Master's Degree in Theology from Harvard and went on to serve as Governor Strickland's Director of Faith Based and Community Initiatives, where he led Ohio's efforts to help churches and synagogues provide education and food programs.
After working for Governor Strickland, Greg helped run Cincinnati's nationally-renowned National Underground Railroad Freedom Center before working in education advocacy as Executive Director of the Strive Partnership.
In 2017, Greg was elected to Cincinnati City Council, where he was a strong voice for children and families across the region. On City Council, Greg helped shepherd the largest-ever investment in repairing roads and bridges in Hamilton County and established City Hall's first-ever Office of Ethics and Good Government to increase transparency and accountability among elected officials. Greg believes elected officials must work for us, not for wealthy donors or corporate interests.
Greg was elected to Congress in 2022 and has built a reputation as a new kind of national leader: bipartisan, reliable, transparent, and accountable. As a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus and Ranking Member of the House Small Business Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access, Greg works across the aisle to get things done for Southwest Ohio.
Greg led the fight to pass the Social Security Fairness Act, helping secure benefits nearly three million public retirees — including teachers, firefighters, and police officers — had been unfairly denied for over 40 years. He was there at the White House when it was signed into law alongside Melissa Johnson, a local Warren County teacher whose advocacy helped drive the effort. Greg has also introduced bipartisan legislation to lower prescription drug costs, protect families from rising energy bills tied to AI data centers, and to stop public officials from profiting off their positions through prediction market betting.
Greg knows that true public servants listen to and participate in their communities; that's exactly why he continues to hold regular town halls across the district and has resolved thousands of constituent cases since taking office.
Now, in a newly redrawn district that stretches from Cincinnati through Warren and Clinton Counties, Greg is running for reelection to keep delivering tangible results for Southwest Ohio families; no matter their zip code or party.
Greg and his wife, Sarah, live in Mt. Washington with their two children, Maddie and Elijah.
