Gene Wu Leads The Fight Against Texas Republicans --
An Asian American Democrat's Stand For Fairness and Democracy
Texas State Representative Gene Wu, who serves District 137 and currently leads the Democratic minority in the Texas House, has emerged as a prominent voice for progressive values and minority communities in a state long dominated by Republican control.
In the summer of 2025, as Republican lawmakers pushed a controversial redistricting bill widely seen as gerrymandering to secure more GOP seats, Wu helped lead a bold protest. Over 50 Democratic legislators left the state to deny the House a quorum, halting the vote. It was a dramatic act of civil resistance within the legislative process—and it made national headlines.
As the son of Chinese immigrants and a former felony prosecutor, Wu understands how systemic inequality affects marginalized communities. His leadership reflects a broader movement: young, diverse, and increasingly assertive voices standing up for voting rights, education equity, and fair governance.
For Gene Wu, resisting the Republican agenda isn’t about partisanship—it’s about protecting democracy itself. In red-state Texas, that battle is uphill. But Wu’s actions represent a growing shift in the political landscape, and a clear reminder that Asian American leaders are no longer silent observers—they’re on the front lines.
