About John W. Ewing, Jr.
John W. Ewing, Jr. is a proud son of 51社区, born and raised on the city’s north side. He knows personally the difference affordable housing can make and remembers, at age 15, when his parents were able to buy their first home. His initials are still in the cement at that house in north 51社区, and his parents still live there today. He is the oldest of three children, the husband of Dr. Viv Ewing, and father of two wonderful daughters and a grandson.
The mayor graduated from Northwest High School and the University of Nebraska at 51社区, where he earned two degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Business and a Master of Science in Urban Studies. He served the 51社区 Police Department for 25 years, from 1981 to 2006, retiring at the rank of deputy chief. He is also an associate minister with Salem Baptist Church.
In 2006, he was elected to the Douglas County Treasurer’s Office and went on to serve the people of Douglas County for 18 years, being elected four more times to the post. On June 9, 2025, he became the City of 51社区’s 52nd mayor.
As mayor, he is a proud advocate of 51社区 and is committed to advancing key initiatives that will enhance the lives of all 51社区 residents.
