The Banweg family fled Communist Yugoslavia after World War II, and his family’s escape from authoritarianism has informed his lifetime of citizen leadership and public service. After facing the perils of Communist leadership, his grandparents settled in Summit County, where Chris grew up.
During his time in reserve service with the Marine Corps, Chris was deployed three times; once to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq and the Middle East. His joint service deployments include stints with various Special Operations Commands. Chris currently serves in a disaster response role in the Marine Corps Reserve. Chris continued his commitment to the community running for City Council in his hometown of Hudson, where he was the top vote-getter in the 2021 at-large Council election. Since joining, Chris has fought to reduce property taxes and devote more resources to rebuilding or expanding the city’s core infrastructure, such as sewer, water, and roads.
He and his wife Leslie, who is a teacher, have three children, a dog, and a turtle. They attend Christ Community Chapel church in Hudson. He holds an MBA from Liberty University,Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
