Congressman Greg Landsman is a public servant, nonprofit leader, and community advocate representing Ohio’s 1st Congressional District. A longtime resident of Cincinnati and former public school teacher, Landsman has spent his career working to improve the lives of families across the region through education, economic opportunity, and community-focused leadership.
Before being elected to Congress, Landsman served on the Cincinnati City Council, where he focused on expanding access to early childhood education, improving public safety, and strengthening neighborhoods. He also led a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children and families succeed, giving him firsthand experience with the challenges facing working families—from education gaps to economic instability.
In Congress, Landsman has built a reputation as a pragmatic, solutions-oriented leader, focused on lowering costs, strengthening public education, and supporting economic growth. He has worked to bring federal resources back to southwest Ohio, support local businesses, and invest in infrastructure that benefits the region.
Landsman represents a district that has become more competitive due to redistricting, requiring a broad coalition of suburban, urban, and independent voters to win. His approach—focused on practical problem-solving rather than partisan division—has allowed him to compete and win in a district that leans Republican at the structural level.
