Mark Kersey (born c. 1976) is a member of the San Diego City Council representing District 5 in San Diego, California. He was elected in June 2012 and re-elected in June 2016. In December 2016, Kersey was appointed Council President Pro Tem, the number two position on the Council. He is a Republican, although city council positions are officially nonpartisan by state law.
District 5 includes the neighborhoods of Black Mountain Ranch, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Encantada, Rancho Peñasquitos, Sabre Springs, San Pasqual Valley, Scripps Ranch, and Torrey Highlands.
He is a native of Columbus, Ohio and moved to the San Diego area in 2001. Kersey attended Northwestern University and the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He is a telecommunications analyst with and formerly maintained his own consulting firm. He lives in Black Mountain Ranch.
Kersey unsuccessfully ran for the Solana Beach City Council in 2004. Kersey's candidacy was supported by the Beach and Bluff Conservancy, a local homeowners group that supported building seawalls to protect their property. Their political action committee spent $18,800 in his behalf during his unsuccessful effort to win a seat on the Solana Beach City Council. During the race for Solana Beach City Council, Kersey had to retract claims that several people had endorsed him after those individuals stated that they, in fact, had not given him their endorsement. This factored into the decision of the Solana Beach Firefighters Association to pull its endorsement of Kersey, as well.
