Alderman Mark Chambers, Jr. Biography

Mark Chambers, Jr. was elected 2nd District Alderman on November 8, 2022 in his first bid for elected office. Alderman Chambers grew up in the Westlawn Projects and is a lifelong resident of the 2nd Aldermanic District.

Early on in his life, Mark participated in youth programs through the Silver Spring Neighborhood Center and the Milwaukee Boys and Girls Clubs, where he learned firsthand the importance of being a leader and in mentoring others.

After graduating from Bay View High School, Mark attended Milwaukee Area Technical College where he served as Vice President of the Black Student Union. It was at that time he began to understand the power of governance. However, like many of the people in the 2nd District, Mark’s life took a sudden detour when he became a father. At that moment, he began his journey as a working provider, student, and parent.

Having the responsibilities of co-parenting a child, Mark worked briefly as a Correctional Officer before entering the finance industry with Wells Fargo Bank, PNC Bank and Peoples State Bank. These experiences motivated Mark to become an even more positive influence for his family and his community, and he then decided to continue pursuing a college degree in business from Concordia University.

Professionally, Mark has worked a business consultant for Community Related Training (CRT) in Milwaukee. He is also a member of the Greater Milwaukee African American Business Resource Group (GMAABRG) and an advisor for Governor Evers’ Financial Literacy Council where he continues to teach financial literacy courses for members of his community.
