Zohaib “Zo” Qadri will represent District 9 on the Austin City Council after winning 51% of the vote in Tuesday’s runoff election against Linda Guerrero. | mayagfawaz
Zohaib “Zo” Qadri campaigns door-to-door in the Cherrywood neighborhood last month ahead of the runoff election for the District 9 seat on City Council.
"Representation matters," said Qadri, who becomes the first Muslim elected to the council."When I saw folks who looked like me — whether it be in the media or on the news — it was always in a negative light ... a villain or the butt of a joke." During the campaign season, Qadri gained a lot of support among students, and election results showed he polled well in and around UT’s campus.
Qadri worked on the political campaigns of Beto O’Rourke and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. A local activist and volunteer, he has worked with the Texas Homeless Network, Austin Latino Coalition, and No On Prop B. He also serves on the advisory committee for the Travis County Democratic Party.
