Jeff Eben's biography
When I became Deputy Mayor, I was reminded that when given an opportunity to really serve others, you need to answer the call. I soon realized that the opportunity to do enormous good for a great many people really existed from the Mayor’s office. Fresno has been an amazing community in which to grow up and it has given me a lot. I have a unique moment in time to try to give back.
In addition, the Mayor’s office is no place for entry level leadership. As principal of a large high school, I’ve built a community and know what it is to be accountable. I’ve made tough decisions, been through many crises, created a sense of team and family throughout those experiences. I’m prepared to lead and anxious to serve. For those two reasons, I’d be honored to serve as Mayor of Fresno.
