Jonathan Rothschild (1955--) was born into a Jewish family and was raised in Tucson, Arizona. The son of attorney Lowell Rothschild and mother, Anne, Jonathan attended Canyon del Oro High School in Oro Valley. After high school, he attended Kenyon College (BA) and the University of New Mexico Law School (JD). Upon receiving his law degree, he would then become a clerk for the US District Court Judge Alfredo Chavez Marquez.
As a lawyer, Rothschild works for Mesch, Clark, and Rothschild. He focuses on business law, employment law, and estate planning. He is active within the Tucson community and has served on the boards of the Tucson Medical Center Foundation, Friends of the Library of the University of Arizona, the Temple Emanu-El, and the Jewish Family and Children's Services. He has been Board President of Handmaker Jewish Services for the Aging and is involved with Casa de Los Niños. He was also a member of the AZ Town Hall. Rothschild is perhaps best known for having served as Tucson's mayor from 2011 to 2019.
Rothschild ran for the office of Tucson Mayor and was elected November 8, 2011 (defeating Republican Rick Grinnell and Green Party candidate Mary DeCamp). He would be re-elected in 2015, a campaign in which he ran unopposed in the primary and general election. His campaign themes include: jobs and economic development, city government, community, environment, and the arts. Rothschild's initiatives include, but are not limited to: the Citizenship Campaign, Community Schools, Mentor Tucson Youth, Help for Homebuyers, Second Chance Tucson, Steps to Success, 10,000 Trees Campaign, and the Veterans and Chronic Homelessness campaigns. He was also instrumental in adding biking and walking/jogging paths throughout Tucson.
Rothschild has also served as an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Arizona college of Law and as the treasurer of the Pima County Democratic Party. He was a chair on the State Bar of Arizona's Committee on Examinations.
Rothschild and his wife, Karen, are still living in Tucson and are active within the community.
