The Issues

Housing should be within reach for every family. In District 60B, renters, students, seniors, immigrant families, workers, and young people are all feeling the pressure of rising rents, displacement, and limited affordable housing options.

Mohamud believes housing is the foundation for opportunity. When families have stable housing, children do better in school, workers can keep their jobs, seniors can age with dignity, and neighborhoods remain strong.

Mohamud has fought for rent assistance, homelessness prevention, supportive housing, tenant protections, and investments that help families stay in the communities they call home.

He will continue fighting to lower housing costs, prevent displacement, preserve naturally affordable housing, support first-time homebuyers, and make sure public investments reach the families and neighborhoods that need them most.

Every child deserves an excellent education, no matter their zip code, income, language, or background.

As a former Minneapolis Board of Education member, Mohamud understands the importance of listening to students, families, educators, and school staff. He believes public schools must be fully funded, safe, welcoming, and prepared to support the whole child.

Mohamud supports fully funded public schools, early learning, school-linked mental health, special education support, higher education access, youth programming, and strong support for educators.

District 60B is home to students from early learning through higher education, including the University of Minnesota and Augsburg University communities. Mohamud will continue fighting to make education more affordable and accessible.

Every Minnesotan deserves care, dignity, and support when they need it.

As Co-Chair of the Human Services Finance and Policy Committee, Mohamud has worked to protect seniors, children, people with disabilities, caregivers, and families who rely on essential services.

Mohamud has helped lead work to strengthen Medical Assistance, disability services, senior care, mental health, children and family services, and supports for caregivers and direct support professionals.

He believes Minnesota must protect vulnerable people and public dollars — stronger oversight, fraud prevention, provider accountability, and continuity of care so families are not harmed when systems fail.

Mohamud will continue fighting for a care system that is compassionate, accountable, easier to navigate, and focused on the dignity of every person.

Minnesota is strongest when every person is treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. District 60B is home to immigrants, refugees, students, workers, families, faith communities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ neighbors who all deserve safety, opportunity, and equal protection under the law.

Mohamud believes every person deserves due process, constitutional rights, and the freedom to live without fear, discrimination, or intimidation. No one should be afraid to go to school, work, worship, seek medical care, appear in court, or simply live their daily life because of who they are, where they come from, how they identify, or how they worship.

He has consistently stood with communities facing discrimination, hate, and attacks on their rights. Mohamud believes that public safety and civil liberties go hand in hand, and that protecting one should never come at the expense of the other.

He supports protecting due process, expanding access to legal services, strengthening Know Your Rights education, safeguarding personal data and privacy, preserving sensitive locations, defending voting rights, protecting reproductive freedom, and ensuring equal rights for immigrants, refugees, people with disabilities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ Minnesotans.

Mohamud will continue fighting to defend constitutional freedoms, protect civil rights, oppose discrimination in all its forms, and build a Minnesota where every person can live with dignity, safety, opportunity, and the freedom to thrive.

Strong communities need strong local economies.

Mohamud supports small businesses, workers, entrepreneurs, workforce development, commercial corridor investments, access to capital, technical assistance, and pathways to good-paying jobs.

As a former Chair of the Jobs and Economic Development Committee, Mohamud helped lead work to support small businesses, rebuild economic corridors, expand workforce training, and strengthen worker protections.

In District 60B, small businesses are community anchors. They create jobs, serve families, support immigrant entrepreneurs, and keep neighborhoods vibrant.

Mohamud will continue fighting for good-paying jobs, union rights, worker protections, entrepreneurship, and investments that help local businesses grow.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, school, workplace, home, and place of worship.

Mohamud believes public safety must be built on trust, prevention, accountability, and opportunity.

Mohamud supports violence prevention, youth programming, mental health response, survivor support, gun violence prevention, safe streets, police accountability, and investments that address the root causes of crime.

He will continue working for public safety policies that prevent harm, protect civil rights, support victims and families, and build trust between communities and institutions.

A just and resilient Minnesota protects both people and the planet. Every Minnesotan deserves clean air, clean water, affordable clean energy, and reliable transportation.

Mohamud supports equitable climate solutions that lower costs, create good-paying union jobs, protect drinking water, expand public transit and clean energy, and hold polluters accountable. Environmental justice must remain central so that low-income communities and communities of color no longer bear a disproportionate share of pollution and health risks.

Minnesota must continue leading toward 100% clean energy while ensuring the transition is practical, reliable, and affordable for every family

Government should work for the people it serves.

Mohamud's background in computer science and public systems gives him a clear understanding of how outdated technology can delay services, frustrate workers, and make it harder for families to get help.

He has championed efforts to modernize Minnesota's human services technology, replace outdated systems, improve applicant portals, strengthen fraud prevention, and make public services faster and more accountable.

Mohamud believes modern government means better service for families, better tools for frontline workers, stronger oversight, fewer delays, and greater trust in public systems.

He will continue fighting to make government more transparent, more accountable, easier to navigate, and focused on results.
