John Braun made Highland Heights his “forever home,” he said, about 10 years ago. For Braun, it’s more than just an address, he told LINK nky in a 2024 candidate profile interview.

“To me, it means being an active member of my community and working to make the city the best possible for those that call it home,” Braun said in 2024. 

Braun faces Deborah Ball, Gary Chinn, Christie Fillhardt, Patricia Hayley, Rene Heinrich and Jesse Hockenbury in the Nov. 3 general election. 

Braun’s interest in joining city council stemmed from serving on Highland Heights’ Planning and Zoning commission and the code enforcement commission.

He wants residents to know his dedication and experience as a city council candidate. 

Outside of being a sitting city council member, Braun is the store manager of Walgreens. He enjoys running and spending time with his dogs and wife, among other activities.

Braun said he is not just a city council candidate, but a neighbor who wants to advocate for what’s best for the residents of the city. 

LINK nky attempted to make contact with John Braun multiple times, but he did not respond. Information that appears in this profile was drawn from social media accounts, on-the-record statements at public events and other information publicly available.
