Mark Mallory

Mark Mallory ( born April 2, 1962 in Cincinnati, Ohio ) is an American politician and, since 1 December 2005, the 68th Mayor of Cincinnati.

Mallory studied at the University of Cincinnati, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree. In 1994 he was elected to the House of Representatives from Ohio. He released there from his father William L. Mallory, Sr., who retired after a long political career in the state legislature. Mallory now belonged to the House of Representatives on for two terms and was elected to the Senate of Ohio in 1998. One of his greatest achievements as a senator was in 2003 when the Parliament of Ohio ratified the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. However, this act was purely symbolic, since the Amendment was a valid part of the Constitution of the United States since July 28, 1868.

2005 Mallory was elected to succeed Charlie hatches mayor of Cincinnati and sworn in on 1 December 2005 as the 68th incumbent. It is thus for more than 70 years, the first mayor who not previously belonged to the City Council of Cincinnati.
