Representative Mihaela E. Pleșa

Proud to stand with @GovKathyHochul and my colleagues in the Texas House Democratic Caucus to call out what’s really happening in our state: Trump asked for 5 more congressional seats — and Abbott is delivering, behind closed doors.

This isn’t democracy. This is a power grab. #HD70

I didn’t run for office to take orders from Donald Trump. I ran to fight for the people of House District 70.

Texans spoke out against these gerrymandered maps—and Republicans ignored them.
That’s why I broke quorum.
For democracy.
For fairness.
For Texas.
🧵👇 #HD70

Let me be clear: Texans didn’t ask for this map.
Trump did.
Republicans are scrambling to hold onto power they know they’re losing.
We should be fixing problems—not rigging elections.
#Txlege

They won’t rush to help Texans in crisis.
They won’t rush to fund our schools.
But when it’s about keeping power? Texas Republicans drop everything.
The people of Texas deserve better than this corrupt, cowardly process.
#TxLege

Yesterday’s #CollinCounty Community Picnic was full of joy & purpose💙

It was great to connect w/Dems running up & down the ballot and catch up w/old friends and make new ones!

Events like these remind us: change starts w/connection. There’s nothing we can’t do when we organize together💙 #HD70

These Black-owned businesses represent the resilience and creativity of our community, and I’m so proud of the role they play in keeping our local economy vibrant. #HD70

Let’s keep showing up for small businesses not just today, but every day. 💙
#SmallBusinessSaturday #BlackBusinessMonth

Small businesses are the heart of HD 70 — and today we celebrated two of the best: @trestellecoffee & @fredsdowntownphilly for #NationalBlackBusinessMonth! 💼

Proud to be a CoAuthor on HCR 9, officially recognizing #SmallBusinessSaturday in Texas. #txlege

Donald Trump told Texas Republicans to redraw the map—and they listened.

They didn’t listen to the hundreds of Texans who spoke out for fairness or thousand that sent written comments. They advanced a map that silences voters of color & fractures diverse communities like mine.
I’ll keep fighting. ⬇️

📍Back at the Texas Capitol — working for you.

Today, I’m focused on educating communities across TX about the redistricting hearing.

When politicians manipulate the map, they silence voices. I’ll keep fighting for fair representation & making sure Texans know exactly what’s at stake. 💪 #TXLege

Want to have your voice heard at tomorrow’s redistricting hearing but don’t have a ride?

It was great to connect w/Leader @RepJeffries.

Texas Republicans are pushing a racially discriminatory map, we need strong voices standing up for democracy! 💪

Leader Jeffries reminded us that this isn’t just a TX fight—it’s a fight for democracy across the country.

🚨 Texas Republicans dropped a mid-decade redistricting map while Texans are still recovering from devastating floods.
“This is cheating in broad daylight—racially motivated and anti-democratic.”

Before I served in the TXLege, I was a Capitol intern—that experience changed my life. That’s why I’m so proud of the incredible student interns, and our Plano ISD extern Ms. Ashley Happy, who’ve brought their heart & hustle to our #HD70 office. Happy #NationalInternDay—thanks for choosing service.

Had a wonderful morning at the Plano ISD & City of Plano Back-to-School Fair!
From full backpacks, to haircuts, screenings, & food support—our students are walking into the year prepared.

Big thanks to the school board, city council, & every community partner who showed up for Plano’s kids. #TXLege

These bills make sure:
🔹 First responders + medical assistants are trained
🔹 Clinics + ERs post clear signage
🔹 Whistleblowers are protected

We can’t stop what we don’t see. But now, Texas is better equipped to act. #txlege

July 30 is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

Human trafficking hides in plain sight. That’s why I joined Rep. Senfronia Thompson in authoring HB742 & HB754 this session.

🚨 Today’s the day. Texas Republicans dropped their MAGA gerrymander—after ignoring public input and calls for fairness.

🗣️ Join Texans from across the state at 10AM in E1.030 to testify.

🗣 Yesterday, I stood with North Texans at the redistricting hearing in Arlington to demand fair maps and fight back against extreme political gerrymandering.

Texans deserve districts that reflect our communities—not political games drawn in backrooms. I’m proud to be your voice in this fight. #HD70

🎉 It’s my birthday today — but no cake or candles just yet.

I’m spending the day doing what I always do: working hard for HD70 & preparing for one of the most competitive races in TX. There’s no time to slow down — not when our rights, our communities, and our democracy are on the line.

“From red tape to real care: HB 114 brings mental health services closer to Texas veterans.”

TX veterans—especially veterans of color—deserve specialized care, not bureaucracy.

Proud to join @RepCortez on HB114, transferring veteran mental health programs to the agency built to serve them! #TxLege

HB 109 by Rep. Rose gives us the tools to build something better—especially for minority children suffering in silence. This bill lets us turn funding into facilities, and facilities into futures.
#HD70 #CollinCounty

Kids in foster care shouldn’t sleep in hotels! I’m proud to joint author HB109 by Rep. Rose that chances that!
Now we can build and operate more residential mental health facilities for youth who need healing, not waiting. When kids in state care are forced to sleep in offices, we all lose…
