Roxanne Qualls Biography

Roxanne Qualls is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 3, 1953 in Tacoma, Washington, United States. Roxanne Qualls, born March 3, 1953, is a former Democratic mayor for Cincinnati, Ohio. She served as the mayor from December 1993 until November 1999. Prior to becoming mayor, she served a two year term on the Cincinnati City Council. She was elected in 1991. The Charter Committee announced her appointment on August 8th 2007 to replace Jim Tarbell, who was still serving a term. Qualls was re-elected to the Cincinnati City Council for a two year term in November 2007. She was also elected again in 2009, and 2011. She was Vice Mayor, Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, chaired the Livable Communities Committee and chaired the Subcommittee on Major Transportation and Infrastructure Projects.

Roxanne was elected Mayor of Cincinnati in 1993 with the most votes of any member of the council. In 1995, Cincinnati voters elected Roxanne to the office of Mayor. She served until 1997 when term limits forced her from office.

Successful community and economic development also requires a willingness to invest in the physical, cultural, and social infrastructure of the city. As Mayor and as a member of the Executive Committee, and later as President of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments, she oversaw the Major Investment Study that resulted in the significant redesign and reconfiguration of Fort Washington Way; and, she successfully lobbied for federal dollars to fund the region’s light rail major investment study. With then-County Commissioner Bob Bedinghaus and members of City Council, she helped form the joint City-County Planning Committee to develop the Master Plan for Cincinnati’s Central Riverfront and to determine the location of the two stadiums. In 1998, she ensured the expansion of the city’s premier riverfront park system by insuring that money was budgeted for the construction of the Theodore M. Barry International Friendship Park.

Believing that successful community and economic development is built on a foundation of safety and security, Roxanne developed the Zero Tolerance Initiative: A Campaign to Take Back Our Neighborhoods, a comprehensive effort to combat blight and neighborhood deterioration. It was recognized by the US Conference of Mayors as a, “Best Practice” in 1999. She initiated Cincinnati’s suit against gun manufacturers for failing to incorporate safety features into guns and for facilitating the illegal distribution of guns. She supported the hiring of more police officers and the Community Oriented Policing (COP) program that took police officers out of cars and put them on the street in neighborhoods. Also, she proposed the Permitting Drug Abuse ordinance to hold property owners responsible for knowingly permitting drug trafficking on their property.

Roxanne was elected Mayor in 1993. She established “Mayor’s Night In”, a Tuesday night event where anyone could visit her for two hours about any concern. Roxanne also established the Mayor’s Business Expansion & Retention Program, and the Mayor’s Business Breakfasts. This effort reached over 1,000 people and 240 companies and resulted from legislative initiatives, constituency service, jobs, expansion, and retention.
