Mohammad Faraj

Mohammad Faraj’s campaign for Cleveland city council is rooted in the belief that local government should be where problems are solved together—with accessibility, transparency, and courage. His top priorities include accessible city services, reliable public safety, and sustainable small business. For Cleveland Ward 7 residents that translates into consistent and timely communication with their councilor, lead-safe homes and clean air that support fulfilling lives, and investing in affordable housing and organized labor.

Mohammad has an extensive background in law and compliance. As the child of Palestinian immigrants, he has a deep commitment to those who feel unheard and unrepresented and believes most voters feel forgotten by their elected officials. For Mohammad, this election is about restoring trust in Cleveland’s public institutions and elected leadership, modeling values-driven governance, and ensuring the city council reflects both the courage and the care the community deserves.
