Mark Herr
Lakewood Council Position 1
Mark Herr
“I joined the Army in 2001 as an Infantryman and was honored to serve for nearly two decades alongside some of the most dedicated and selfless individuals I have ever known. After recovering from my accident, I successfully led two small businesses through the challenges of the pandemic—ensuring that more than 20 employees and their families had food on the table and the support they needed during a time of great uncertainty. Today, I bring that same commitment, resilience, and servant’s heart to Lakewood. As a member of the Lakewood Planning Commission, I strongly advocate for transparency, accountability, and public input in every decision. I understand firsthand the pressures facing our community—from growing demands for public safety, to the need for sustainable infrastructure and essential community services. Lakewood is at a pivotal moment. We can protect what makes our city unique while planning responsibly for the future. I will work tirelessly to ensure your voice is heard and your concerns are addressed.
Let’s build a safer, stronger, and more connected Lakewood—together!”

“I am running for City Council to create a more vibrant Lakewood for my family and for yours. To me, Lakewood is more than a city. We’re a community, which faces substantial challenges in public safety, affordability and responsible growth. We need bold leaders who listen to take us into the next chapter. I will be that leader. I believe Lakewood’s best days are ahead of us.As the CEO of a small business, I know how we can revitalize our downtown and establish the Colonial Center as the urban heart of our community – where families gather, cultures thrive, and small businesses grow. As a former Captain Chaplain in Air Force, I know how to both listen and lead, and I will bring a spirit of collaboration to the City Council. Finally, as the son of a senior citizen, father to a teenager, and former grief-group counselor at Mary Bridge Hospital, I know the importance of protecting our most vulnerable populations.
I will fight to ensure our neighborhoods are safe and vibrant for generations to come, so our children do not have to move away to build a life.
I have bipartisan support from leaders across our community. It would mean the world to me, and my family, to have your vote.”
