Jeffrey Scott Cogen (born January 14, 1962) is an American businessman, lawyer, and former politician in the U.S. state of Oregon.
Cogen practiced law for four years in San Francisco, California, until relocating to Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Lisa in 1992.
There, they and some friends started Portland's first certified organic bakery, the Portland Pretzel Company.
Cogen was president of the small company, which in early 1996 had eleven other employees.
Cogen served as communications director for the Multnomah Commission on Children and Families.
He later joined the board for Hands on Greater Portland, a nonprofit that connects volunteers with initiatives in their community, where he was elected board president.
Cogen entered Portland politics by joining former Multnomah County Chair Beverly Stein's staff in 1999.
Cogen then went to Portland city hall, and in 2003 was named chief of staff to Portland City Commissioner Dan Saltzman.
In 2006, Cogen was elected to the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners as Commissioner for District 2, representing North and Northeast Portland.

Cogen attended Brown University, where he received a B.A. degree in Political Science.
He then earned a J.D. degree from the University of California, Los Angeles.
In March 2010, then-Multnomah County Chair Ted Wheeler resigned from his role on the Board of County Commissioners to step into the position of Oregon State Treasurer, to which he was appointed after the death of incumbent Oregon state treasurer Ben Westlund.

"According to the Multnomah County website, 'The Health Department's analysis found that babies and young children are more vulnerable to the effects of Bisphenol A. Disruption of an infant's hormonal system can affect their development, putting them at risk for behavioral problems, breast and prostate cancer and a variety of other issues."
As of 2011, Cogen was living in Northeast Portland with his wife, Lisa and their two children.
He enjoys reading science fiction novels and is an avid fan of live music, especially the Grateful Dead.
In 2013, Cogen admitted to an extramarital affair with a policy advisor in the Multnomah County Health Department following public allegations.
The policy advisor resigned under pressure from the county health department for having a conflict of interest.
For some weeks, he rejected calls for him to resign, which included a July 24 vote by his four fellow county commissioners.
"I deserve a chance for the facts to come out," he told the media.
However, on September 6, 2013, he announced his intention to resign, effective ten days later.
