Spoke to a full house of constituents this morning at the BANA picnic. We talked about recapture, job losses, & water- issues growing more urgent every day.

I wore my Protect Pub Ed shirt because our schools are underfunded, our communities are hurting, & the state has left us in a bind. #txlege

Told the University Democrats last night: I’m not running to break barriers. But if I win, I will.

This moment reminded me why we keep showing up. Why we take on the fights that feel impossible.

Because when the next generation sees you do it, they believe they can too. #txlege

The GOP would rather shut down the government than let you have health care. Period. #trumpshutdown

Thank you to everyone who joined for our meet and greet, and to Arati Singh & Lynn Boswell for hosting! We talked about water, public schools, & affordability- the issues folks in HD47 talk about.

Join us for our next event in NW Austin on Sat Oct 4th.

What an incredible afternoon at the Austin Business Woman luncheon. Grateful to President Vidhya Moorthy, HD 47 resident, for hosting this event.

Nearly 1 million women in Texas own businesses, but many still face barriers to access. Building spaces like this creates the change we need. #txlege

At UDEMS, Rep. Howard shared she won her 2011 race by just four votes. She’s a powerful example of leadership grounded in service. If you're not registered to vote, now is the time.

I'm honored to have her support for my Texas HD 47 campaign.

Thank you for everything, Rep. Howard! #txlege

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.

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...
