About C.A.M.E.O.'s History

Our History

Over the past 44 years the Cleveland American Middle Eastern Organization (CAMEO) has worked to make sure that our elected leaders work to properly represent our community. Last year, over 70 candidates sought the C.A.M.E.O. endorsement with the endorsed candidate being elected in 76% of the races.

Looking for Support?

As we have done for the past election seasons, C.A.M.E.O. will once again conduct endorsement interviews.
