He was living in South Euclid when he campaigned for Ward 7 city council in 2017. He left South Euclid for Cleveland Heights all while stealing from Cleveland taxpayers on council.

CLEVELAND, OH – Basheer Jones did not live in Cleveland, Ohio’s Ward 7 when he campaigned for the council seat against Cleveland resident T.J.Dow and won by 13 votes in 2017.
