Pakistani-American Salman Bhojani Wins Unopposed for Second Term in Texas State Assembly
Salman Bhojani, a Pakistani-American Democrat representing Texas’ District 92, has secured a second term in the Texas State Assembly, winning unopposed. Bhojani, who hails from Karachi, first took office on January 10, 2023.
In the 2022 election, Bhojani emerged victorious over Republican challenger Joe Livingston, securing 20,182 votes compared to Livingston’s 14,610. This year, no Republican candidate filed to contest the seat, likely due to Bhojani’s strong performance in his first term and his growing support within the district.
Bhojani, a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a law degree from Southern Methodist University, has had a diverse career, including roles as an attorney and a member of the Euless City Council. His focus on local governance and community advocacy has earned him widespread recognition.
In his campaign, Bhojani emphasized the significance of local and state elections, particularly for the Pakistani-American community. He encouraged voters to understand the power they hold through the ballot, urging them to participate in shaping legislation that directly impacts their communities.
Bhojani’s unopposed victory highlights his strong political standing and the increasing influence of South Asian-Americans in Texas politics.
