Mohamud Noor
Mohamud Noor (born 1977 or 1978) is an American politician serving in the Minnesota House of Representatives since 2019. A member of the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), Noor represents District 60B, which includes parts of the city of Minneapolis in Hennepin County.
Noor was born in 1978 in Somalia. Following the start of the civil war, he and his family sought asylum in Kenya. In 1999, they emigrated to the United States, settling in Minnesota.
Noor earned a B.S. in computer science from Metropolitan State University. He was a system administrator for the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Noor was the former director of the Confederation of Somali Community in Minnesota, a Minneapolis-based NGO serving immigrants. In that role, he advocated for funding for Somali youth programs, job skills programs, childcare programs, and mental health services. He criticized Republicans and Donald Trump for rising anti-Islamic sentiment in 2016, and praised President Barack Obama for visiting a mosque and speaking out in support of Muslim Americans.
In 2010, Noor ran for a seat on the board of the Minneapolis Public Schools, finishing in fifth place. In December 2013, he was appointed to the Minneapolis school board, beating Ubah Jama by a 5-3 vote after the death of Hussein Samatar. He resigned from the school board to run for the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2014.
In 2011, Noor lost to Kari Dzeidzic in a special election DFL primary for an open Minnesota Senate seat created by the retirement of nine-term incumbent Larry Pogemiller.
In 2017, Noor challenged incumbent Abdi Warsame for City Council in Minneapolis Ward 6. He said he was "extremely disappointed" with Warsame's work on the council and that he would focus on jobs, housing, and police reform, and engage with constituents more than Warsame. At the DFL Ward 6 caucus, Warsame won the most delegates, and Noor joined another challenger, Flynn Forslund, in asking that the caucus results be thrown out. Noor pulled out of the endorsement convention, citing "a potential safety risk for participants".
In September, Noor and Mayor Betsy Hodges endorsed each other. He was also endorsed by state legislators Ilhan Omar, Karen Clark, Raymond Dehn, Jim Davnie, Scott Dibble and Patricia Torres Ray.
