Harold 'Cope' Copenhaver[3] (born July 17, 1961) is an American politician and a Democratic former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives representing District 58 from 2013 to 2015, and the current mayor of Jonesboro, Arkansas. After being unseated by Republican challenger Brandt Smith in the 2014 GOP landslide in Arkansas, he went to work as a Senior Business Development officer for Centennial Bank in Jonesboro. In August 2016, Copenhaver announced that he would run for Mayor of Jonesboro, challenging two-term incumbent Harold Perrin. Copenhaver ran second to the two-term incumbent, but failed to pull enough votes to force a runoff. In November 2020, Copenhaver was elected mayor of Jonesboro with Perrin's endorsement.[4]
Copenhaver attended Arkansas State University.
In 2012, Copenhaver was unopposed for the May 22, 2012 Democratic Primary,[5] and won the November 6, 2012 General election with 5,682 votes (53.0%) against Representative Jon Hubbard.[6]
