About Mark Russell

For over 30 years, the Russell family has called Jeffersontown home. We’ve raised our children here, enjoying the well-maintained neighborhoods and family-friendly atmosphere that make this city so special. Jeffersontown’s beauty and close-knit community spirit are what drew us here and what have kept us rooted. As, a candidate for Jeffersontown City Council, my goal is to build upon the qualities that make our city a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family. I will be a voice for preserving Jeffersontown’s charm and character while thoughtfully planning for responsible growth. Our community deserves development that enhances our quality of life, not detracts from it.

With decades of experience in the insurance industry at Arthur J. Gallagher, I have the business acumen to manage city finances prudently. More importantly, through my extensive community involvement, I understand the priorities and values of Jeffersontown residents. I currently chair the Jeffersontown Economic Development Authority, Plainview Residents Association, and the Envision Jeffersontown Steering Committee. Previously, I served on the board of the Jeffersontown Chamber of Commerce. Giving back is a passion of mine. I volunteer regularly with organizations like Dare to Care and The First Tee to support important causes and make a positive impact. On City Council, I’ll bring that same spirit of service to give Jeffersontown residents the responsible, ethical leadership they deserve. Jeffersontown is a gem that’s near and dear to my heart. I’ll work tirelessly to protect its character while embracing positive change that improves our community for all residents. I humbly ask for your vote.
