Pakistani-American Democrat Salman Bhojani secured a strong re-election to the Texas State Assembly, in US elections 2024.
Bhojani, who first entered the assembly in 2022, has focused on vital issues like healthcare, education, and business development while advocating for immigrant rights.
His victory is seen as a key milestone in South Asian American political representation.
While Bhojani’s win highlights the growing political involvement of Pakistani Americans, Republican Aaron Bashir, the only Pakistani-American candidate running for Congress, faced a setback in Pennsylvania, losing a tight congressional race.
Bhojani’s success reflects an increasing trend of South Asian Americans actively participating in shaping U.S. politics, marking a significant shift toward greater diversity in political leadership.
