Harold 'Cope' Copenhaver (born July 17, 1961) is an American politician and a former Democratic member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, representing District 58 from 2013 to 2015. He is the current mayor of Jonesboro, Arkansas. After being unseated by Republican challenger Brandt Smith in the 2014 GOP landslide in Arkansas, he worked as a Senior Business Development Officer for Centennial Bank in Jonesboro. In August 2016, Copenhaver announced his candidacy for Mayor of Jonesboro, challenging two-term incumbent Harold Perrin. He finished second to the incumbent but failed to secure enough votes to force a runoff. In November 2020, Copenhaver was elected mayor of Jonesboro with Perrin's endorsement.
