HEIGHTS
MAYOR MO BAYDOUN
Mayor Mo Baydoun is a proud resident of Dearborn Heights. As a graduate of Crestwood Public Schools, Mo understands firsthand the values that define this community: hard work, resilience, and a deep sense of pride. Today, he and his wife, Dr. Laila Baydoun, are raising their two children, Ali and Madina, in the very city that shaped him.
Mo’s commitment to public service is profound. He holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Central Michigan University, which laid the foundation for his leadership style, rooted in accountability, community-first thinking, and tangible results. His experience spans both the public and private sectors: as a small business owner, he knows the challenges that local families and entrepreneurs face, and as a Wayne County Sheriff Reserve Officer, he has helped protect and serve on the front lines.
Since being elected to the Dearborn Heights City Council, Mo has led with a hands-on and approachable style during his tenure as Council Chair, whether riding along with snowplow drivers to ensure safe streets, advocating for infrastructure upgrades at senior and recreation centers, or campaigning for safer traffic signals—he believes in showing up, doing the work, and putting residents first.
Mo’s leadership is built on strong local roots, genuine accessibility, and unwavering dedication to the people of Dearborn Heights. He remains committed to earning the trust of his neighbors every day through action, service, and an open-door approach to governance.

Today, Mayor Mo Baydoun announced the launch of a new online application portal designed to attract qualified, community-minded individuals interested in serving within the City of Dearborn Heights administration. The initiative marks an important step in Mayor Baydoun’s broader transformation process, which is focused on recruiting a highly qualified, forward-thinking team to lead Dearborn Heights into its next chapter of growth and service. Through this new portal, individuals can apply for employment and appointed positions within city government.
“Dearborn Heights is at a pivotal point in its history,” said Mayor Baydoun. “We are seeking the best and brightest individuals to help move our city forward. This is about building a government that operates with transparency, accountability, and efficiency, and one that truly delivers for our residents.”
This initiative demonstrates Mayor Baydoun’s commitment to open and inclusive governance. The transformation process will continue later this week with the formal announcement of the Dearborn Heights Transformation Team and the Citizens Advisory Group, two groups of community leaders and professionals who will advise on improving city operations and identifying opportunities for long-term progress.
“We are working to set a new standard for local government,” Baydoun added. “This process ensures that city government and the citizens it represents have the opportunity to contribute in a collaborative way to the success and future of Dearborn Heights.”
