About Phil Van Treuren

Phil Van Treuren: He’s Everyone’s Councilman!

Phil was honored to be the top vote-getter in Amherst’s Council at-Large race, and has strong support from Democrats, Republicans and Independents throughout our great city.

Phil is tired of partisanship in politics, and your needs will always be more important to him than the interests of any political party.

Phil’s family has called Lorain County home for more than a century.  He and his wife, Jessica, are proud to live, work and own a home in Amherst.  They are active in the community and have three wonderful children: Alex, 11; Andrew, 9; and Sophia, 2.

A long family tradition of service to country has helped shape Phil’s life.  Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, Phil joined the Ohio Army National Guard in 2004 and later received his commission as a second lieutenant in the Combat Engineer Corps.

Phil strongly believes that city government has an obligation to its residents to keep taxes as low as possible while still providing safety services with the tools they need.  He’s a strong supporter of the Amherst volunteer fire department, police department and local schools.

Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican or Independent, Phil Van Treuren is proud to represent your interests on Amherst City Council.  He’s everyone’s councilman!
