Congratulations to @poojaintexas.bsky.social on winning the Texas HD-47 Democratic Primary! A dedicated public servant and community leader, Pooja will fight to strengthen our democracy, fully fund public education, and advance common-sense gun reform for Texas families.
Congrats to @poojaintexas.bsky.social for her victory yesterday!
Pooja has shown us how to stand up to hate, while still maintaining a hopeful attitude. She will be a true fighter and champion for progressive values in the TX House.
This has never been about one person, it’s about all of us. Let’s keep this momentum going and continue fighting for a Texas where every person can thrive, all the way to November. Thank you! #txlege #hd47
At doors across the district, families told me their medication costs too much, parents shared fears about their child’s school closing, and women spoke about their concerns for their fundamental rights. I hear you, and I promise I will fight for you.
Thank you, TX HD 47!
I am so incredibly honored to have earned the Democratic nomination for Texas House District 47. I’m deeply grateful to my family, amazing team, volunteers, and supporters who stepped up, knocked doors, made calls, and believed in what we’re building together. Thank you!

Congratulations to Pooja Sethi for being our Democratic nominee for Texas House District 47! #txlege @poojaintexas.bsky.social
I strategized voting R in primary against Paxton because I hate him. Then I read Paxton will less likely win than Cornyn. I couldn’t do it even though I’m happy with either D Senator candidate. Ultimately, I had to vote for my girl Pooja Sethi who knocked on my door and hugged me. #texasprimary
Thank you!!!
Election day is today! The polls are open, get in line by 7:00 pm.
Go vote, and if in TX HD 47, vote for me. Tell your friends and family.
Every vote counts! #txlege #hd47
Listen to Congressman Doggett! I am honored to have the endorsement of Representative @lloyddoggetttx and his recognition of the hard work I’ve put in for TX HD 47. I’m ready to deliver from Day One.
Polls are open 7AM to 7PM. Go vote and let’s get it done! 🗳️ #txlege #hd47
My final endorsement drop before the election tomorrow is the most important to me. The @tx_momsdemandaction recognition matters deeply, because this work is urgent.
Silence is not an option when it comes to gun violence prevention. We deserve leadership that refuses to look away. #txlege #HD47
Tomorrow is Tuesday, March 3. Have you made your plan to vote? #txlege #hd47
But unity can. Community can. Courage can.
I’m not going anywhere. I’m going blockwalking.
And what the last day reminded me of is this: there are far more of us who believe in belonging, dignity, and unity than there are who trade in fear. #txlege

Because there is no way to make this a better world if we stay silent in the face of hate.
Here’s the truth: hate won’t feed hungry families.
It won’t lower your healthcare costs.
It won’t make our schools better.
It won’t fix a single road or pay a single bill.
Yesterday, a reporter for TPUSA tweeted a photo of my campaign sign with the clear implication that I don’t belong in this country, that I should be deported. It went viral with over a million views.
My first instinct was to go hide.
My second was to respond.
The last 24 hours were not anything I asked for.
For those who reached out, thank you. Truly. And to those I haven’t had a chance to respond to yet, please know how much it meant.
RELEASE: Racist attacks like “Don’t India my Texas” are not political debate. They are xenophobic and unacceptable. @texasasiandems.bsky.social stand with @poojaintexas.bsky.social. She is running to represent everyone in HD 47 — including those who disagree with her. Texas belongs to all of us.
Proud to pull the lever for @poojaintexas.bsky.social today. She’ll be grand in the lege
72 days ago, we hit the doors, and we’ve been walking ever since.
We’ve knocked 25,000 doors, had thousands of conversations, and over 75 incredible people walking alongside me.
I’m so grateful for every voter who opened their door and spoke to us.
8 days to go. Let’s keep going! #txlege #hd47
Do I look exhausted from blockwalking? Yes.
Is it worth it to talk to voters and fight for our future? 100%.
Join me, @goodwin4texas, & @zoforaustin on Sunday to hit doors together!
🗳️ Vote Pooja Sethi for TX HD 47 and Vikki Goodwin for Lt. Governor. #txlege
