Proudly Representing Austin City Council, D9. Progressive Democrat fighting for Austinites. Child of immigrants. 🇺🇸 🇵🇰 @texasexes Official: @CMZoQadri

Three years ago, Austin elected me to fight for a more affordable, more just Austin.

We’ve delivered real change – even when the state pushed back.

I’m running for re-election to keep fighting for our future. https://t.co/KySqGDJaEz

Texans know what happens when we ignore the limits of our grid, our water supply, & our infrastructure.

As data center development expands, we must prioritize the costs to our communities.

Our resources should build stronger communities – not bigger profits for corporations.

[Council Member Zo Qadri, District 9 @CMZoQadri]

One of the best parts of this job is getting to spend time with Austin's youngest residents. Thank you to the students, teachers, and staff at Todos Juntos Learning Center for welcoming me for story time. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.

A beautiful 4th of July spent with neighbors in Delwood 2 and Mueller!

Celebrating 250 years of our democracy - and the work it takes to make it stronger for everyone. 🇺🇸

[Democratic Municipal Officials @NationalDMO]

.@zoforaustin has delivered for Austin, expanding housing supply in Central Austin, launching Sip Safely to prevent drink tampering & backing stronger emergency response.

As he runs for re-election, Austin needs his leadership to keep building a more affordable & safe city!

[Zohaib “Zo” Qadri @zoforaustin]

Couldn’t agree less.

But it makes sense that a guy who got famous as a bankrupted landlord doesn’t understand the value of affordable housing.

[Zohaib “Zo” Qadri @zoforaustin]

Muslim Texans left the GOP convention in tears.

As the first Muslim elected to Austin City Council, we’ve focused on lowering rent, preventing hate crimes, and delivering for working families.

Texans deserve leaders with better priorities.

The best part of the World Cup isn’t just the soccer-it’s bringing people together.

That’s why our office worked to bring Austin’s inaugural World Cup celebration to Auditorium Shores with @AustinFC.

Proud to help create a space where people around the world celebrate together.

[Zohaib “Zo” Qadri @zoforaustin]

Gun violence is a public health crisis affecting Austin and communities across the country.

That’s why I’m honored to earn the @MomsDemand Gun Sense Candidate Distinction.

I'm committed to advancing local solutions that make our neighborhoods & cities safer.

[Zohaib “Zo” Qadri @zoforaustin]

I'm honored to have @LloydDoggettTX support behind my re-election!

Generations of Austinites have benefited from his leadership & his willingness to stand up for ordinary people.

I'm proud to continue that work by fighting for housing affordability and opportunity for everyone.

Texas Republicans talk nonstop about “protecting children.”

Meanwhile, Ken Paxton helped his friend - Adam Hoffman - walk away with just 30 days in jail after repeatedly raping a 5 year old.

Child predators get more grace from Paxton & Trump than working Texans ever will.

Breaking News: President Trump endorsed Ken Paxton for Senate in Texas just a week before his primary runoff against Senator John Cornyn. https://t.co/s6LIYfdXVJ

** Update 4:28PM 5/17: The shelter in place for the south Austin area has been lifted, and two suspects are in custody. One remains at large in the Manor area. More information to follow.

The Austin Police Department is currently investigating multiple shootings in the Austin area, including two fire stations.

Most of the shooting have occurred in South Austin. There is no specific motive, and they appear to be random.

It appears the suspect(s) are changing vehicles which is why we need everyone to be vigilant.

If you see anything suspicious, know the whereabouts of the suspect(s), or any of the suspect vehicles, do not approach. Instead, call 9-1-1 immediately.

If you have information about these incidents, contact APD's Aggravated Assault Unit at 512-974-5177. Tips may also be submitted anonymously through the Crime Stoppers program online or at 512-472-8477.

As of 3:30PM on May 17 there is a shelter in place in the areas of South Slaughter Ln, East McKinney Falls Pkwy, North Ben White Blvd., and West Escarpment Blvd. Residents in the surrounding area are instructed to stay indoors until further notice.

Before the Trump administration poured billions into ICE and built partnerships between local police and state and federal immigration agents, Texas was already doing it.

So, for those opposed to the deportation surge, Texas is worth paying attention to. https://t.co/Uv9To2hG4T

Stopped by the Little Free Bakery pop-up and got to celebrate something really special.

A space where everything is free, neighbors take care of each other, and community comes first.

Grateful to present a proclamation recognizing May 3 as Little Free Bakery Day.

Love the @zoforaustin yard signs next to our #TxHD49 #TeamMontse #JuntosForJusticeUnidosForChange ✊🏾

Honored to have Gina Hinojosa in our corner.

Gina has always shown up—for students, for working families, and for communities that deserve to be heard.

That’s the kind of leadership we’re building this campaign around.

Join us. https://t.co/Vfqk7hCZ78

In Austin's North Loop neighborhood, when people line up once a month on weekends, their reward is a little sweet treat that is free. No cash, no cards, just a smiling woman behind a table offering a pick-me-up in a park. https://t.co/LJAW12wHBk

[Zohaib “Zo” Qadri @zoforaustin]

Rain or shine, Austin runs on labor.

Every street, stage, classroom, and clinic depends on people showing up and doing the work.

This May Day, we recognize the dignity of that labor and the responsibility to protect it.
