I’m so thankful and blessed I was raised in a family where I was taught to be of service to others and not feel I am “the answer” for all. Humility is lost on so many. #txlege

I was proud to join faith leaders, community advocates, and fellow legislators to confront Islamophobia in Texas and announce the formation of the Texas Interfaith Legislators Caucus. Hate should never have a home in our politics. Texas is stronger when we stand together. #Lalani76 #TXLege #TheRightPrescriptionForTexas #NoHateInTexas #ReligiousFreedom

In my eight years as a State Senator, I have: ✅ Flipped a seat from red to blue ✅ Expanded health care coverage for Texans ✅ Fought Republican gerrymandering ✅ Defended reproductive rights It’s time Texans had an attorney general who delivers for them.

I’ve tried to do everything to bite my tongue, but to prompt an accusation against a black woman based off of gossip and rumors is to promote the stereotype that Black people are “aggressive”, and that we are not. #txsen #LMSY

We should all take a moment to give a big thank you to the AFL-CIO for hosting the debate and for all the work they did to make the debate happen. They are great examples of putting in the work and getting things done for all Texans! #txlege

Schools need funding. Housing costs too much. Healthcare costs too much. My name is Odus Evbagharu, I’m Cy-Fair raised, and running for Texas House District 135 to continue fighting for working families. Together, we can make Austin work FOR US.
