Steve Jensen was first elected to represent Ward 2 on Marion City Council in Nov. 2017. Due to ward boundary line changes related to the 2020 Census, he was re-elected in Nov. 2023 to serve as At-Large representative for a four-year term.

Steve has been a resident of Marion for more than 55 years. He feels some of the key issues facing Marion include tax base diversification with a need for an expanded commercial/industrial tax base, completion of Tower Terrace Road and being cognizant of our city’s past, while looking to the future.

Steve brings a strong financial background to the position, having served as a CPA, CFO, president and commercial loan officer over the course of his career. He retired in March 2017. Steve has held leadership positions on the board of directors for Marion Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO), Marion Chamber of Commerce, Marion Planning & Zoning Commission and the YMCA.

Steve and his wife have two children, a foreign exchange daughter and eight grandchildren living in the Marion and Cedar Rapids area.
