Cleveland City Council member Jenny Spencer will not seek re-election in 2025

Cleveland City Council Member Jenny Spencer will not seek re-election for her Ward 15 seat when her term ends in 2025.

“This has absolutely been the honor of a lifetime,” Spencer told Ideastream Tuesday ahead of her Wednesday afternoon announcement to the public. “I am so grateful that I had a chance to do it and that I could serve the community, and I'm still going to be here for the next 14 months.”

Spencer’s announcement comes as city council is in the thick of its once-in-a-decade redistricting process. The council will lose two of its 17 seats due to population loss.

Spencer said redistricting had “no bearing whatsoever” on her decision, but that she wanted to give potential candidates the opportunity to launch their campaigns ahead of next fall’s election.
