Meet Jyoti Mohan
Jyoti Mohan has spent over two decades in Baltimore County, actively listening to her neighbors, identifying community issues, and taking effective action to address them. As a dedicated community leader, educator, and parent, she has a proven ability to leverage state and local resources wisely, delivering real results for her community.
Championing For Our Neighbors in Their Time of Need.
When Jyoti recognized the needs in her Baltimore County neighborhood, she took action for the local Scouts Troops, provided support to understaffed animal rescues, and collected supplies for the Student Support Network and other non-profits assisting families in need. Seeing gaps in services for underserved communities, Jyoti founded the Minority Coalition Community Center of Baltimore County, where she currently serves as Board President. With her experience in coalition building, Jyoti will bring a community-centered approach to crafting state legislation by listening to constituents, understanding their struggles, and advocating for policies that create tangible opportunities.
Dedicated to Our Schools and Local History
As a parent of three children, Jyoti is deeply committed to supporting Baltimore County Public Schools. She has served as a PTA leader at Jacksonville Elementary, Cockeysville Middle, and Dulaney High Schools, leading initiatives to enhance student learning, foster a sense of community among parents, and increase professional development opportunities for staff. A historian with a PhD in History from the University of Maryland, Jyoti is a member of the Maryland Governor’s Commission on Military Monuments and the Maryland Governor's Commission on African American History and Culture, the only state-wide historical commissions. As your next state delegate, Jyoti will work to preserve the unique aspects of our community—our culture, heritage, and strong schools.
Currently, Jyoti remains active in promoting civic and political engagement efforts at the local level. She serves on the Baltimore County Democratic Central Committee and the North Baltimore County Democratic Club. Additionally, as a pet owner and animal lover with certifications in animal behavior and welfare, she serves on the Baltimore County Animal Hearing Board. Jyoti and her husband have made Baltimore County their home for over twenty years, raising their three children in Cockeysville alongside their two dogs, one cat, and one bunny.
Family—whether immediate, extended, or chosen—is the foundation of everything Jyoti does and the lens through which she views every political issue. She is committed to ensuring everyone is safe, content, and successful. Jyoti is fighting for a wholesome and healthy environment, excellent schools that nurture kind and empathetic children, and dignified care for our elders who deserve to spend their golden years with respect and support. As your next State Delegate, Jyoti will be a champion focusing on solutions that reflect our Baltimore County community's values.
