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
Juneteenth is one of the most important days in American history & a powerful reminder that freedom must be fought for, protected, and extended to everyone. Black history is American history. Grateful to spend the morning in community and hand out stickers to our future leaders. #txlege #juneteenth
Join me at 10:00 AM at Rosewood Neighborhood Park for the Juneteenth Parade as we celebrate freedom, community, and one of the most important days in our nation’s history. Hope to see you tomorrow!
"They won't go any further." That's what people said before Roe was overturned. The 2026 Texas GOP platform proves they're not done. Women's rights matter. Families matter. Freedom matters. Pay attention. Speak up. Stay engaged. Because they're not done, and neither are we. #txlege
“I cannot say whether or not Anthony was acting in self-defense, but I can say that, while living in a country that has made the likes of Kyle Rittenhouse famous, I understand the Black community’s frustration.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What a great Pride week in Travis County! 🌈 From Oak Hill Community Pride with HD 47 residents to the Pride flag raising at Commissioners Court with elected officials and community leaders. A stronger community is one where we all know we belong and are celebrated for who we are. #txlege
This morning I joined the @ginafortexas.bsky.social Pub Ed Tour because our kids deserve better. Parents should not have to spend their summer fighting for school funding or wondering whether their child’s school will have the resources it needs. I’m proud to stand with Gina in this fight. #txlege
Thank you to Lone Star Left for this extremely thoughtful write-up. Reading this piece brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes we get so immersed in the noise of politics that we forget to reflect on the people and experiences that shaped us. #txlege Link: www.lonestarleft.com/p/meet-the-c...
Happy Pride! I’ve never met a fight I was scared of, and the fight to make sure everyone feels seen, respected, and included is one I’m always ready for. Love is love. 🌈 #txlege
Ken Paxton is obsessed with political fights and nicknames. @jamestalarico is focused on lowering costs and making life more affordable for all of us. These two are not the same. #txlege
“Once we transform this broken, corrupt system, we can start unrigging this economy. We can start raising our pay, cutting our taxes, lowering our cost. We can finally, start to get ahead.” - James Talarico for U.S. Senate. Let’s go @jamestalarico.bsky.social! #txlege
What a feeling! I took a trip to Sugar Land to keynote the Asian American Dems of TX meeting, and for the first time, my parents got to hear me speak. I was also honored with a Trailblazer Award. Standing up for all communities where everyone belongs is one of the greatest honors of my life. #txlege
