Ramadan Mubarak, Austin. As neighbors across our city begin this sacred month of fasting and reflection, may it bring renewed faith, generosity, and connection. Wishing all who observe a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.

UT students should not face barriers to voting on their own campus.

The Texas Union is the primary polling site on the undergraduate campus. I’ve sent a letter to President Jim Davis calling for immediate restoration of clear, accessible voting routes there or ADA-compliant alternatives.

Proud to be endorsed by ATJ Action Fund for my reelection campaign!

Three years ago we made history bringing South Asian representation to Austin City Council.

I'm proud of the work we've done to deliver for my community and all Austinites who call it home. Let's keep it going!

Proud to break ground on the reimagining of Congress Avenue. This project moves us closer to a downtown that works for everyone including residents, workers, visitors, and small businesses alike. A more connected, welcoming Austin starts here.

Honored to be endorsed by @nationaldmo.org for my reelection campaign.

I'm proud of the work we've accomplished my first term; lowering rents, investing in public safety, and protecting civil rights.

Let's keep delivering an Austin that works for everyone: zoforaustin.com

Over the weekend we honored Alex Pretti and RenΓ©e Good and the grief their loved ones carry. In times like this, we cannot look away from each other. We keep each other safe. We speak up. We stay vigilant. That’s what community must mean right now.

More than 5000 people across Texas joined us in Austin today to protest ICE.

Children taken from their families, neighbors killed in the street, individuals dying in detention.

Enough is enough.

ICE is targeting our neighbors and killing them in the streets.

Austin is a city that shows up. This weekend, as people respond to ICE, there are many ways to participate. Protest. Strike. Hold vigil. Support organizers. Take care of your community. Our strength has always been in our people and in the many ways we stand together.

Grateful for the chance to speak on a panel at the University of Chicago earlier this month and connect with students about public service, local government, and the future of our cities. These conversations leave me feeling optimistic about the future of our cities.

I’m all ears. Currently working with some immigration attorneys on something.

I was disgusted to hear that story. We are currently looking at what we might be able to do via policy. Symbolic gestures are great but I want us to bring something with teeth to protect people. We live in very troubling times.

Out of an abundance of caution, we’re rescheduling our re-election kickoff.

We don’t want anyone taking unnecessary risks just to get to an event.

Stay warm, check on neighbors, and reach out or call 311 if you are having any issues with power, trees, or any unsafe conditions.

We honor Dr. King today by refusing to look away from injustice. In times like these, doing what’s right means choosing courage, defending human dignity, and standing with communities being targeted and harmed.

It was a pleasure welcoming UC Berkeley students to Austin City Hall and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how we plan, build, and shape our city. Always grateful to connect with the next generation of public servants and planners.

With UT students returning to campus today, I want to give a big thank you to Jack, our fall UT student intern. Jack recently wrapped up his time in our office and we are grateful for all he contributed to our team and our community. Wishing him the best as he heads to DC!
