About Jyoti

Jyoti Mohan has spent nearly two decades in Baltimore County listening to neighbors, identifying problems, and taking action to solve them. As a community leader, educator, and parent, she has a proven track record of leveraging state and local resources wisely, while delivering real results.

Championing For Our Neighbors in Their Time of Need.

When Jyoti saw the need in her neighborhood, she stepped up for the local Scouts Troops, provided support to understaffed animal rescues, collected supplies for the Student Support Network and other non-profits working with families in need. When she saw gaps in services for underserved communities, Jyoti founded the Minority Coalition Community Center of Baltimore County, where she now serves as Board President. With her coalition building experiences, Jyoti will bring a community-centered approach to creating state legislation by listening to constituents, understanding their struggles, and advocating for policies that create tangible opportunity.
