Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, to trust that their streets are well maintained, and to know that their local government is invested in the quality of their daily life. My priority is to support community first public safety efforts, invest in infrastructure improvements, and strengthen partnerships between residents, local organizations, and first responders. A thriving community means clean parks, accessible sidewalks, strong schools, and a sense of belonging. I will advocate for smart investments that improve safety and enhance the quality of life for all residents without over policing or neglecting the needs of historically underserved neighborhoods
City government should be transparent, accessible, and accountable. Residents deserve meaningful engagement and decision-making that truly reflects their needs. I will work to ensure that Grove City Council actively connects with the community through public input, open forums, and real time communication. That means clearer information about how tax dollars are being used, better access to city resources and services, and leadership that listens before it acts. Grove City is growing and becoming more diverse every day. It is crucial that our council reflects the community it serves and is inclusive of all voices.
Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy and the heart of our neighborhoods. I will champion policies that support entrepreneurs, reduce barriers to starting and growing a business, and prioritize locally owned shops and services. That includes streamlining permitting processes, creating pathways to capital and mentorship, and making sure city development plans include small business voices at the table. A stronger small business environment means more local jobs, more investment in our community, and more pride in where we live and work.
Grove City was built for a population of around 22,000 people. In just a few years, we have more than doubled that without the infrastructure to keep up. Traffic has become a daily concern, and our roads were not designed to handle this level of growth. At the same time, some of the most populated areas of the city are still experiencing unreliable cellular service. That is unacceptable in a growing community. Mohamed supports smart planning that keeps up with demand, reduces congestion, and prioritizes safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. He also believes the city must work with service providers to improve cellular coverage and ensure every resident can stay connected.
