Attended the ALO 5 Opening yesterday with the West Austin Chamber of Commerce. It was a great opportunity to connect with local businesses in HD 47 like Kim Ortiz Portraits & The Picklr. Small businesses aren’t just storefronts. They’re where community happens. When they thrive, we all do. #txlege

The momentum is real! Today reminded me why I love this work. Packed rooms in Central Austin and with the Lake Travis Democrats. Powerful conversations on education, rights, and affordability. People are showing up because democracy is not guaranteed. #TXLege

The meetings with HD 47 constituents keep coming and I couldn’t be more grateful. I saw firsthand that the best ideas didn’t come from politicians, they came from constituents. That’s the leadership HD 47 deserves. #txlege

Join us on 9/19 for the Access Education RRISD gala!

When Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social endorsed me for the #txlege, I was deeply honored. He leads with integrity and a true commitment to service. Supporting him for U.S. Senate is an easy choice. He's bold, compassionate, and ready to fight for our future. Let’s send him to DC!

Whether one person is killed or thousands, we need to do everything in our power to make sure it never happens again. Humanity is the point. Never forget.

“Former Travis County Democratic chair Pooja Sethi begins campaign for Texas House District 47 ready to bring experience and community- driven solutions to the Texas House.” #txlege www.kvue.com/video/news/l...

See you tomorrow! www.eventbrite.com/e/1568255387...

At the Capitol this morning with moms and families talking about how we keep kids safe. Responsible ownership, safe storage, and making sure laws work as intended are steps we can take to protect children. This issue cannot be ignored. #txlege

HD 47 is speaking and I’m listening. You want bold action on jobs, housing, healthcare, water, funding public schools, & protecting the future for our kids. I'm ready to fight for it with you. Join us as we kick off the campaign this weekend, & come to our next meet & greet on September 27. #txlege

This Labor Day, we honor the workers who keep Texas strong, from public servants to union members to retirees who gave their careers to this state. As a proud Texas State Employees Union member, I see the dignity in every job, past and present. Thank you for your service. #txlege

Happy Pride! After some tough weeks, it was nice to have some joy. Love is love. Period. 🌈

Yep. And the Republicans don’t realize that the more they fight us, the more we unite.

4 fearless women were arrested last night at the Texas Capitol after refusing to leave, standing in solidarity with Rep. Collier. Senator Sarah Eckhardt and I were at the jail until 3:30 a.m., fighting for their release. Thank you everyone, this is what showing up for justice looks like. 🇺🇸 #txlege

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

On CBS Austin tonight! I’m so proud of our Texas House Democrats who took a stand and broke quorum. As Rep. @jamestalarico said, this isn’t about the Democratic Party, it’s about the democratic process. I’ll keep uplifting their work every chance I get. You should too. #txlege

5 million Texans voted for Democrats in 2024, the second most in the country. This is how they think we’re represented. Communities split apart, cities carved up, voices drowned out. It's not representation. It's erasure. #txlege

The Austin EMS Association PAC has endorsed me, and I’m truly honored. EMS professionals are there when every second counts and have been strong advocates for public health, safety, and care in our community. Thank you, Austin EMS! #txlege

As of today, 7 redistricting hearings have been held or scheduled on congressional maps. Only 1 has focused on flood recovery. There are 23 days left in this session. Every day should be about helping people recover, not redrawing maps. To our Gov., Lt. Gov., & Speaker: Put Texans first. #txlege

Had a great time at the Dem happy hour tonight. A fun break and even better conversations with HD 47 folks. It’s always meaningful to connect with neighbors and hear directly about the issues impacting our community. #voicesofhd47

I’m so grateful. In just a few weeks, this campaign is proving that people want bold, compassionate leadership that fights for our kids & our future. Every dollar helps us knock more doors & reach more voters. We’re working harder than ever, this district deserves it. #txlege PoojaForTexas.com

TX Lege Recap with Rep. Goodwin, Sen. Eckhardt, & the Westlake Dems. Redistricting is a disaster. Abbott is pushing Trump’s maps instead of focusing on what Texans need. This special session should be about flood recovery & real support. Call the Governor. Tell him: put Texans over Trump. #txlege

Statement on Special Session. #Txlege

We went to Southern Oaks Church in Kerrville to sort supplies for families affected by the flooding. We saw how much help is still needed. The organizers are not looking for supplies. They need volunteers to sort donations. If you’re able to, here’s the link: www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0549AB...

Here’s the truth. Call time is hard. But what they’re doing to us at the Texas Legislature is even harder. That’s why I’m putting my heart & soul into this fight. Tonight’s our first big deadline, & every bit of support counts: secure.actblue.com/donate/pooja... I am so grateful for you.

First endorsement drop! I’m truly grateful to have the support of leaders who have been on the frontlines, fighting for our communities, our rights, & our future. Now I’m ready to join that fight, and I need your help to hit our goal by Monday. Join me! Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/pooja...

I’m running for Texas State HD 47 because our rights, schools, & future are on the line. I’ve led in this fight for years & now ready to take it to the next level. Watch my campaign launch video & help fuel this movement from the beginning: secure.actblue.com/donate/pooja... youtu.be/6KvYyjFYbYE

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Pretty amazing International Women’s Day. I got to emcee a rally for democracy w/Sen. @elizabethwarren, @replloyddoggett & @gregcasar. Thank you to them for hosting & giving Texas what we need. A morning of fight & action. TX Republican leaders are not showing up, our Democrat Electeds do! 🔥💪🏾

Speaking to @UDems today on differing viewpoints in the Democratic Party, and the importance of us all listening to one another. The best part? When I stopped speaking and they started talking, I learned quite a few things. Listening to one another… that’s the way forward. 💙

This is how you do it...

I tried to enjoy the holidays, & saw the online hate rhetoric against Immigrants & Indian- Americans. It’s exhausting watching the far-right blame the wrong party & the wrong communities for what is happening in this country. In 2025, enough is enough. Op-ed link: www.statesman.com/story/opinio...

2025 resolution: reminding myself daily that MAGA does not deserve my joy. I will fight them, but they will never get my smile.

I will not walk away. I'm staying in this fight. We will not let you down, Madame VP. Who's with me? LFG.

Honoring some great Democrats and their service today! 💙

We're a 50/50 nation. Presidential elections have been close for years, making 2 Trump presidencies tragically possible. The time to change hearts and minds is EVERY DAY -- not just in an election year. Dems need a media infrastructure, strategy, and investment to match Elon, FOX, & Rogan.

New Democratic precinct chairs getting sworn in today. The work does not stop…

I’m smiling because I know in my heart that the pendulum will swing back one day soon.

Well, I can finally say yes to the question, “were you better off four years ago, than you are today?” Yes.

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

To those criticizing Biden for pardoning Hunter, holding him to the highest standards while Trump is held to no standard at all, is why we’re in this mess.

As another South Asian who went to law school instead of med school, I agree.

I’m happy for the Biden family. This has been a long and undeserved nightmare. May they find peace these holidays.

The air is definitely better over here! 🦋

Oligarch Musk thinks illegal drugs are subject to tariffs.

Wasn’t there some woman from California who was running for something who told us this was going to happen

Do you see what they’re doing? Tell me you do.

Spoke at Tejano Dems last night. We are strongest when we are together.

Out of roughly 153 million votes cast in this election, the presidency was decided by 230k across the three states of Wisconsin (30k), Michigan (80k) and Pennsylvania (120k). That's 00.15%. This remains an extremely closely divided nation. Any agenda viewed as extreme is likely to face backlash.

I stay on X for the humor…
