Mark Kersey (born c. 1976) is an American politician who was a member of the San Diego City Council for District 5 from 2012 to 2020.

Their political action committee spent $18,800 in his behalf during his unsuccessful effort to win a seat on the Solana Beach City Council.

[17] In April 2019, Kersey declared that he was leaving the Republican Party to become an independent, stating that he would work toward bipartisan solutions to the city's issues during the remaining two years of his term.

[18] Kersey was unable to seek re-election to the city council in 2020 due to term limits.

[19] Kersey was chosen to chair a newly formed infrastructure committee to address the city's backlog of needed repairs which had built up over decades.

As chair of the committee,[20] he spearheaded a plan to address the City of San Diego's approximately $2 billion backlog of infrastructure projects.

[22] With Kersey's leadership, the city completed its first-ever comprehensive sidewalk assessment[23] as well as its first multi-year capital plan, which identified $1.7 billion in unfunded infrastructure projects over the next five years.

[28] He also proposed creating a centralized communications point for San Diego City services, known as a 3-1-1 system.

Kersey said that 3-1-1 would be a number that people could call if they have potholes on their street, broken traffic lights or spot water leaks in the city.

[29] In September 2013, he sponsored an ordinance to streamline the permit process, meant to help reduce costs and the time associated with completing city construction projects.
