Texas voters elect state’s first-ever Muslim lawmakers, including Dallas-area attorney
Salman Bhojani, of Euless, won a decisive victory in Tarrant County, and Suleman Lalani won easily in Fort Bend County near Houston.
The Democrats — one in North Texas and one in the Houston area — defeated Republicans to win seats in the Texas House. Bhojani was a familiar face for many voters in the Mid-Cities region. In a 2018 City Council race, then-Rep. Jonathan Stickland, a Republican, warnedbefore pointing out that Bhojani was Muslim, saying his ideas would “scare a majority of our residents.”
On Tuesday, Bhojani, a Pakistani immigrant, said in a statement that he planned to strengthen schools, create an economy that works for all Texans and improve access to healthcare.
