Since May 2016, he has served as Mayor of Bristol. In doing so, he became the first directly-elected mixed-raced mayor in Europe Early life and educationMarvin Rees was brought up in Bristol, partly in Lawrence Weston and Easton, by his British mother and Jamaican father.[1][2] He obtained a Master's degree in Political Theory and Government at the University of Wales in Swansea, and also a Master's in Global Economic Development at Eastern University (United States) in 2000.[1] Later he completed the World Fellows Program at Yale University.[3] During a fellowship he assisted Tony Campolo, an advisor to President Bill Clinton.[1] Community involvementRees is the Founder and Programme Lead at The Bristol Leadership Programme, a two-week programme that will help a dozen people annually from impoverished backgrounds to attain what they aspire to.[4][5] He was also a member of the Bristol Legacy Commission which dispersed its funds and ceased operating in April 2012.[6][7] and a former Director of the Bristol Partnership whose goals are to make Bristol's prosperity sustainable, reduce health and wealth inequality, build stronger and safer communities, and raise the aspirations and achievements of young people and families.[8] CareerRees has worked in diverse areas throughout his career. He was a freelance journalist and radio presenter at BBC Radio Bristol and Ujima Radio.[9] He was the Communications and Events Manager at Black Development Agency (now Phoenix Social Enterprise), an agency devoted to empowering individuals and communities through opportunities to work abroad.[10] Marvin Rees was employed in the city of Bristol as the Programme Manager for race equality in mental health issues at NHS Bristol.[11] His experiences in the United States included work as an outreach assistant at the Sojourners Community and as a Youth Co-ordinator at Tearfund.[12] Political careerIn 2012, selected by an individual ballot of Labour Party members in the city, Rees defeated four other candidates including the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Labour group in Bristol and a former Member of Parliament.[3] He received 25,906 votes, coming second, after George Ferguson. Rees found it difficult readjusting to normal life following his election loss.[13] On 5 May 2016, Rees was elected Mayor of Bristol. He received 56,729 voted in the first round and 12,021 transfer votes in the second round, meaning that he received 68,750 votes overall.[14][15] He became the second ever black mayor in Europe after Rotimi Adebari of Cork, Ireland.[13] Rees' term of office started with a £60 million budget deficit to 2020, and in August 2016 Rees instigated a voluntary severance programme aimed at reducing 1,000 from the council's 6,970 employees.[16] Rees' time in the mayoral office is most likely to be defined by his decision in September 2018 not to build the long awaited arena by Temple Meads Station, in the centre of Bristol, despite the vast majority of the council backing the plans.[17] At the time, Marvin dismissed those in support of the plan as "noise".[18] The episode brought discussion about the authority of a city mayor to make autonomous decisions in the face of strong opposition, and concerns were raised at how businesses are able to influence those with decision making and planning powers in cities. [19] In September 2017, Rees was placed at Number 78 in "The 100 Most Influential People on the Left" by commentator Iain Dale.[20] In March 2019, Rees intervened at the last moment to stop a second plaque being added to the statue of the Edward Colston (1636 – 1721), the Bristol-born merchant, to summarise his pros (great philanthropy) and cons (involvement in the slave trade), and accused the Society of Merchant Venturers of being behind a rewording of the plaque, even though many members of the public had contributed to this during the Council-led project.[21][22][23] Rees proposed that the wording would be looked at again as part of "wider work on improving our cultural offer around the transatlantic slave trade".[21] Personal lifeMarvin Rees, who describes himself as the mixed-race son of a Jamaican father and white single mother,[24] is married with three children and lives in Easton in Bristol.[25][26] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.obv.org.uk/our-communities/profiles/obv-profile-marvin-rees |title=OBV Profile: Marvin Rees |publisher=Operation Black Vote |year=2007 |accessdate=23 October 2016}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Rees, Marvin}}2. ^{{cite news|last1=Morris|first1=Steven|title=Marvin Rees: the Bristolian bearing the weight of Labour hopes|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/feb/12/marvin-rees-the-bristolian-bearing-the-weight-of-labour-hopes|work=The Guardian|date=12 February 2016}} 3. ^1 "Profiles of Labour’s candidates for the Bristol mayoralty: Marvin Rees", Labour Uncut, 18 May 2012. 4. ^"Who is Marvin Rees", Bristol Culture, 19 June 2012. 5. ^"Youth Mayor could Engage Young People", Bristol Post, 29 May 2012. 6. ^{{cite web|title=Mayoral Commissions result in joint action to improve lives in Bristol|url=http://news.bristol.gov.uk/mayoral_commissions_result_in_joint_action_to_improve|publisher=Bristol City Council|accessdate=14 September 2017}} 7. ^Bristol Legacy Commission. 8. ^"About us", Bristol Partnership. 9. ^Bristol Mayor news.
