Pakistani-American Salman Bhojani obtained a second term in the Texas State Assembly, after winning by acclamation.
Representing District 92 as a Democrat, Bhojani hails from Karachi. He first assumed office on January 10, 2023.
In the 2022 election, Bhojani defeated Republican opponent Joe Livingston, receiving 20,182 votes to Livingston’s 14,610. This year, he ran unopposed within his party, perhaps due to his previous successful performance.
A graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas and a law degree from Southern Methodist University, Bhojani’s career includes roles as an attorney and city council member.
It is also worth noting that no Republican ran against him in the last election, allowing him to win unopposed.
During his campaign, Bhojani highlighted the importance of local and state elections, urging the Pakistani-American community to recognize its influence on critical issues by voting.
He stressed the importance of voting, describing it as the power through which people can pass legislation of their choice in their regions and states.
