Alex Mohajer could be the first openly gay Iranian elected in the world
A post shared by Alex Mohajer (@alexmohajer)Raised by a single mom who immigrated to the U.S. from Iran, Mohajer grew up in Irvine, CA.
He attended public schools and community college there. Later, Mohajer found his way to the University of California, Berkeley, for his undergraduate degree.
He returned to Orange County for law school and graduated with a J.D. from Chapman University School of Law in 2011. For the past ten years, this bearded beaut has been working for the Civil Service Advocate for the County of Los Angeles, investigating allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination. “I have a platform that’s about fighting for working-class families, small business owners, and public school education, because I’m the son of Iranian immigrants, which really informs my worldview,” Mohajer said in an interview. “My mom came here and struggled and sacrificed a great deal so that we could have access to a good public school education and have opportunities she didn’t have.”Mohajer is a man of the people, and his campaign whole-hear reflects that. “I understand the struggle and sacrifice of families like mine and the value of a good public education which is why I’m going to fight for the economic dignity of working-class families, small business owners, and teachers right here at home,” It’s official.
I’m running for California State Senate to make good on the American promise that families like mine struggled and sacrificed for.
