Mark Steenbergh (born January 12, 1955) is an American politician from Michigan. Following a stint on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners, Steenbergh served as mayor of Warren, Michigan.[3][4][5]
He was elected to his second and third term after being charged with a single count of racial intimidation and another count of misdemeanor assault in 1996. The charges result from an altercation with an African American named John Harris. Steenbergh was released on $25,000 personal bond.[6]
Steenbergh was recognized for his service in an addition to the Congressional record in 2000 by Representative Sander M. Levin.[7]
In 2005, a former firefighter sued Steenbergh and his Deputy Mayor, Mike Greiner, for defamation. The firefighter stipulated that he had been falsely accused of collecting pay while out of state.[8]
During his final term as Warren mayor his daughter was arrested in a traffic stop.[9] Shortly before leaving office in 2007 he spoke out against Iraqi immigrants moving to Warren.[10] In 2007 Warren still limited Mayors to three terms.[11]
He was a Macomb County public works official until he was fired by Candice Miller in 2017.[12][13][14]
