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!

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

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

Texas Democrat Pooja Sethi responds to social media attacks Pooja Sethi serves as the Chief of Staff to Texas State Representative Vikki Goodwin and is Chair of the Travis County Democratic Party

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 β€œDon’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 β€” including those who disagree with her. Texas belongs to all of us.

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

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE.

A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas.

Yesterday while blockwalking, a man told me he’s been helping his mom pay for her heart medication. It went from $4 to $700 under this current administration. It was a powerful reminder of why I’m running. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, HD 47. I’m listening. #txlege

At the Austin Environmental Democrats endorsement forum yesterday, I heard directly from HD 47 residents about their concerns for clean air, abundant water, and a healthy future for our community. I’ve spent the last year showing up, because real representation means doing the work. #txlege
