Odus Evbagharu’s campaign for Texas House District 135 has gained support from over 80 community leaders, precinct chairs, and elected officials, including more than half of the Texas House Democratic Caucus. The endorsements reflect a broad coalition backing Evbagharu as he seeks to represent the district in northwest Harris County.

State Representative Jon Rosenthal, who currently holds the District 135 seat, is running for Texas Railroad Commissioner, a statewide office overseeing the state’s energy infrastructure and regulatory responsibilities. Rosenthal’s endorsement of Evbagharu marks a transition in leadership for the district and provides continuity for constituents as Rosenthal seeks to expand his influence to a statewide role.

Evbagharu previously served as Rosenthal’s Chief of Staff, gaining experience in legislative operations, community engagement, and constituent services. His campaign emphasizes priorities such as education, healthcare, transportation, and economic development, with a focus on addressing the needs of both urban and suburban areas within the district.

The endorsements come from a diverse mix of political, civic, and community organizations, highlighting Evbagharu’s ties to local initiatives, including neighborhood infrastructure improvements, small business support, and civic engagement programs. Analysts note that the campaign illustrates a coordinated effort within the Democratic Party to maintain leadership continuity in District 135 while supporting Rosenthal’s statewide ambitions.

As Rosenthal campaigns for a statewide regulatory role, District 135 will see new representation focused on sustaining existing programs and addressing emerging community priorities. The transition offers voters a chance to weigh both local leadership experience and broader political dynamics impacting Texas governance.
