Gregory John Landsman (born December 4, 1976) is an American politician who has been the U.S. representative from Ohio's 1st congressional district since 2023. The district is based in Cincinnati, and includes most of its inner suburbs.
A member of the Democratic Party, Landsman served on the Cincinnati City Council from 2018 to 2022. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 2022 election, defeating 13-term incumbent Steve Chabot.
Early life and education
Landsman was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, to a Jewish family. He earned a bachelor's degree in economics and political science from Ohio University in 1999 and a master's degree in theological studies from Harvard Divinity School in 2004. Governor Ted Strickland appointed Landsman to be his director of faith-based and community initiatives in 2007.
Landsman served as executive director for Strive until December 2015. He then led Preschool Promise, an initiative to make two years of preschool available to all three- and four-year-olds in Cincinnati. Preschool Promise was incorporated into a joint levy with Cincinnati Public Schools, and the levy passed in November 2016.
Cincinnati City Council
Landsman ran for the Cincinnati City Council in 2013 and lost. He ran again in 2017, and was elected to one of the council's seats in the November general election. Landsman was reelected in 2021.
In 2018, Landsman and four other city councilors (P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Seelbach, Wendell Young, and Tamaya Dennard), known collectively as the "Gang of Five", were found to be discussing city business via text messages. They talked about how to keep the city manager and potentially regain power from the mayor. In March 2019, the Gang of Five agreed to turn over their text messages in order to settle a lawsuit filed by a local anti-tax activist. The text messages were made searchable and posted on the website of the law firm that sued the Gang of Five. No criminal charges were filed.
