Meet Greg Landsman
GREG IS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS TO FIGHT FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES HERE AT HOME.
A former public school teacher, Greg Landsman 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 is proud to represent 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 StrivePartnership.
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 that elected officials must work for us, not for wealthy donors or corporate interests.
Greg was elected to Congress in 2022 and is committed to being a new kind of national leader — bipartisan, reliable, transparent, and accountable. During his first year representing Southwest Ohio in DC, Greg introduced 4 bipartisan bills, including a bill to lower prescription drug prices for seniors. He secured $15 million for local projects in the federal budget and returned $11 million to taxpayers back home. Greg knows that true public servants listen to and participate in their communities – that’s why he’s had 19 town halls and resolved over 1,300 constituent cases, all in his first term.
Greg and his wife, Sarah, live in Mt. Washington with their two children, Maddie and Elijah.
