In 2011, Noor lost to Kari Dzeidzic in a special election DFL primary for an open Minnesota Senate seat created by the retirement of nine-term incumbent Larry Pogemiller.{{cite news |last1=Roper |first1=Eric |date=7 December 2011 |title=Kari Dziedzic wins DFL nod for Senate race |agency=Star Tribune |url=http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/135143438.html |access-date=13 August 2014}}{{Cite web |last=Rao |first=Maya |date=August 10, 2016 |title='Relentless' Ilhan Omar sealed historic win in Minnesota legislative battle |url=https://www.startribune.com/relentless-omar-sealed-historic-win-in-minnesota-legislative-battle/389807771/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}}

In 2017, Noor challenged incumbent Abdi Warsame for City Council in Minneapolis Ward 6.{{Cite web |last=Belz |first=Adam |date=February 6, 2017 |title=Sometime allies Warsame, Noor are now opponents in Minneapolis race |url=https://www.startribune.com/sometime-allies-warsame-noor-are-now-opponents-in-minneapolis-race/412969043/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}} He said he was "extremely disappointed" with Warsame's work on the council and that he would focus on jobs, housing, and police reform, and engage with constituents more than Warsame. At the DFL Ward 6 caucus, Warsame won the most delegates, and Noor joined another challenger, Flynn Forslund, in asking that the caucus results be thrown out.{{Cite web |last=Belz |first=Adam |date=April 26, 2017 |title=Minneapolis DFL scrambles to reschedule Sixth Ward endorsing convention |url=https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-dfl-scrambles-to-reschedule-sixth-ward-endorsing-convention/420493193/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}} Noor pulled out of the endorsement convention, citing "a potential safety risk for participants".{{Cite web |last=Belz |first=Adam |date=May 20, 2017 |title=Minneapolis City Council candidate Mohamud Noor drops out of Sixth Ward convention |url=https://www.startribune.com/minnepolis-council-candidate-mohamud-noor-drops-out-of-sixth-ward-convention/423228303/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}}

In September, Noor and Mayor Betsy Hodges endorsed each other.{{Cite web |last=Belz |first=Adam |date=September 30, 2017 |title=Clout of Somali-American voters increases in Minneapolis elections |url=https://www.startribune.com/clout-of-somali-american-voters-increases-in-minneapolis-elections/448831973/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}} He was also endorsed by state legislators Ilhan Omar, Karen Clark, Raymond Dehn, Jim Davnie, Scott Dibble and Patricia Torres Ray.{{Cite web |last=Belz |first=Adam |date=November 23, 2017 |title=Recount set for Tuesday in Minneapolis City Council race between Warsame, Noor |url=https://www.startribune.com/recount-set-for-tuesday-in-minneapolis-city-council-race-between-warsame-noor/459629183/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}}

Noor lost to Wasame in November, and accused Warsame's campaign of violating election day and campaign laws.{{Cite web |last=Nelson |first=Emma |last2=Roper |first2=Eric |date=November 8, 2017 |title=More new members win Minneapolis City Council seats, council president defeated |url=https://www.startribune.com/steve-fletcher-wins-downtown-minneapolis-city-council-seat/456181813/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}} He said he would "fight to make sure every vote is counted, and the numerous irregularities that were reported are fully investigated". Noor requested a "discretionary" recount paid for by his own funds. After a recount left the result unchanged, an attorney for Noor withdrew the challenge, but Noor filed a personal lawsuit asking a judge to invalidate the election.{{cite web |last1=Belz |first1=Adam |date=28 November 2017 |title=Recount ends, Minneapolis Council Member Abdi Warsame's victory stands |url=http://www.startribune.com/recount-underway-in-minneapolis-council-race-between-abdi-warsame-mohamud-noor/460540513/ |access-date=1 January 2018 |publisher=Minneapolis Star Tribune}}{{Cite web |last=Belz |first=Adam |date=December 7, 2017 |title=Judge dismisses lawsuit challenging Warsame's Minneapolis City Council election victory |url=https://www.startribune.com/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-challenging-warsame-s-minneapolis-election-victory/462644493/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}} He claimed to have evidence that "at least 100 people appear to have voted in our election who do not live in Ward 6". A Hennepin County judge dismissed the lawsuit in December 2017.

Minnesota House of Representatives

Noor was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2018 and has been reelected every two years since. He first ran in 2014, unsuccessfully challenging 21-term incumbent Phyllis Kahn in the DFL primary.{{Cite web |last=Condon |first=Patrick |date=July 13, 2015 |title=DFL's Kahn, Carlson now longest-serving state House members ever |url=https://www.startribune.com/dfl-s-kahn-carlson-now-longest-serving-state-house-members-ever/314710331/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}} In 2016, Noor again challenged Kahn, as did Ilhan Omar. The DFL convention ended with no endorsement, but Omar defeated both Khan and Noor in the DFL primary and won the general election.{{cite web |url=http://www.startribune.com/low-turnout-expected-despite-key-races-on-primary-election-day/389596131/|title=Next Minnesota Legislature won't have Reps.

Patrick|date=9 August 2016|publisher=Star Tribune|access-date=4 December 2016}} In 2018 Noor ran for the seat again, after Omar announced she would not seek reelection in order to run for Minnesota's 5th congressional district.{{Cite web |last=Van Berkel |first=Jessie |date=June 6, 2018 |title=District 5 hopefuls file candidacy as Ellison announces run for AG |url=https://www.startribune.com/keith-ellison-ilhan-omar-mike-hatch-all-file-for-primary-races-minnesota-dlf-gop/484590681/ |access-date=2023-05-04 |website=Star Tribune}} Noor won both the DFL primary and the general election.{{Cite news|url=http://www.mndaily.com/article/2018/11/n-after-unsuccessful-first-bid-noor-takes-house-district-60b|title=After unsuccessful first bids, Noor takes House District 60B|last=Dill|first=Emma|work=The Minnesota Daily|access-date=2018-11-07}} He has been reelected in every election since.

Noor has served as chair of the Human Services Finance Committee since 2023 and also sits on the Higher Education Finance and Policy, Human Services Policy, and Ways and Means Committees. He chaired the Workforce and Business Development Finance and Policy Committee from 2021 to 2022, and was vice chair of the Jobs and Economic Development Finance Committee from 2019 to 2020.

Noor's policy priorities were job creation via investments in the green economy, health care issues, and forging partnerships with the University of Minnesota. He also sought to secure more funding for schools, advocated a move away from complete reliance on property taxes, and backed the state government's request for a waiver to get out of No Child Left Behind. He supported interment at Fort Snelling National Cemetery for Hmong veterans of the Vietnam War, as well as the Affordable Care Act. Noor's campaign also supported same-sex marriage.{{cite news |last1=Yuen |first1=Laura |date=November 29, 2011 |title=Why Mohamud Noor supports same-sex marriage |work=MPR News |url=http://blogs.mprnews.org/cities/2011/11/why-mohamud-noor-supports-same-sex-marriage/}} He was endorsed by former Minneapolis mayor R.
