We stood together to demand the release of Texas’ delayed maternal mortality report. Nearly 4 out of 5 pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, and Black women continue to face the highest rates. We need this report to understand why women are dying and build legislation that saves lives.

This happened in our community, in broad daylight. We deserve answers.
Indian American at a UT game. Somebody check on Bo French. 🤘
In a world that feels so divided, be like Senator Andy Kim. Fight hard. Stand your ground. Keep showing up. And never lose your decency or your belief in people. It was beyond amazing to meet the Senator, someone I’ve looked up to for years. A mentor and the kind of public servant I strive to be.
Thank you to Austin PBS for having me on to talk about what’s at stake for our community. I’m committed to fully funding our public schools, protecting a woman’s right to make her own healthcare decisions, and putting our community first at the Capitol.
The weekend wasn’t a gift. The eight-hour workday wasn’t a gift. Overtime pay wasn’t a gift. Safer workplaces and better wages weren’t gifts. Working people organized, fought for them, and won them.
Moderating a panel at Blue Action SW with Congressional Candidates Caitlin Rourk & Tanya Lloyd. Healthcare and affordability are top of mind for residents in HD 47 and across their congressional districts. Up and down the ballot, we are focused on kitchen table issues that impact families every day.
I loved visiting UA Local 286 and seeing their apprenticeship program in action! Good-paying jobs, hands-on training, and a real path to a career. This is what investing in Texas workers looks like. I’m proud to always stand with our unions and working families. #txlege
Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social ’s words about my race mean so much. And he is right. Hate may be loud, but it is not who most of us are. When we tolerate it or use it to gain power, we risk losing something much harder to regain: our dignity.
Happy Pride, Austin! Our state is beautiful because of the people who call it home. So much joy, so much love, and so much to be proud of. #txlege
See you in one week! Come by, bring a friend, and join us as we kick off the general election! Just RSVP here: bit.ly/Poojakickoff #txlege

Bad policies have real consequences. We can’t keep going down this path. As AI data centers rapidly expand and our water and public lands face growing pressure, Texas needs leaders who think ahead instead of waiting for a crisis. I’m honored to earn the endorsement of the Sierra Club.
A year ago today, Texans waited more than 13 hours to speak against mid-decade redistricting. Many never got the chance. Now we’re living with the consequences. In HD 47, we’re split across four congressional districts.
Today I joined Texans calling for accountability on data centers, and today the Texas Senate Finance Committee is taking a closer look at the billions in tax incentives our state gives them. Texans deserve to know what we’re getting in return. Our grid, our water, & our tax dollars matter. #txlege
Hot temps didn't stop our Sunday blockwalk crew. Huge thanks to @poojaintexas.bsky.social for hitting the doors with us last weekend! 9,518 doors knocked and counting 💪
Come block walk with me! Send me a DM, shoot me an email, or just reach out. We have some great candidates who need our help this November. Let’s go! #txlege
At a vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo tonight, the grief was impossible to ignore. One speaker said, “When one family suffers, we all suffer from the injustice.” Lorenzo’s family deserves the truth. ICE owes the family a full and transparent account of what happened. #txlege
Last night, right here in the district, I spoke with parents and students about the TEA takeover, school funding, and the STAAR test. Thank you for having me.
The Salgado Araujo family deserves answers. Our communities deserve accountability, transparency, and respect.
💥We’re less than four months from Election Day. This is a fun reminder that Democratic campaigns aren’t glamorous, they’re powered by us. Volunteer for a Dem candidate. Donate if you can. Block walk. Phone bank. Talk to neighbors. Find your precinct chair. We can create change! #texasdemocrats
Our big Finance deadline is done! Thank you, we hit our goal! In b/w call time, I got to support Sen. Rehmet, Heather Jefts, & Sarah Eckhardt because this fight is bigger than any one campaign. As we head toward Nov., I hope you’ll join me in supporting not just one campaign, but a few. #txlege
Midnight is our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to chip in, this is it. Every contribution helps us keep building a campaign that fights for all Texans. Thank you! Link: bit.ly/Poojasethi
The Texas GOP calls our platform “radical.” The @texasdemocrats.bsky.social calls it fighting for affordability, public schools, healthcare, good jobs, and freedom. Our fight is for every Texan. #txlege
So excited to be one of the keynote speakers at the Lady Bird Breakfast during the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social convention! Looking forward to an inspiring week with so many incredible leaders, advocates, and changemakers. See you there! #txlege
Today we painted hearts beside Austin’s rainbow crosswalks. The Governor may remove the crosswalks, but he cannot remove the values they represent: inclusion & respect for every member of our community. Proud to stand with community leaders in choosing love over division. #txlege
