Unlike last month’s “public hearing,” tonight’s MoPac South Town Hall did it right. Full agenda of speakers, helpful information, and real opportunities for residents to speak.

THIS is how real public input is done.

Thankful for all of the ideas offered by the community last night at the Zilker Neighborhood Association Meeting. I’m working around the clock on quality of life issues and fighting for our public schools.

The City Manager is hosting a series of Community Budget Conversations, and I joined the fourth one today. Here’s my recap and what stood out to me from the session.

What I love about D5: South Austin Baseball
I’m looking forward to a season on these fields that bring our community together, especially cheering on my son in his 5th year in the league.
Fields like these matter, and they’re worth protecting.

Closing out Women’s History Month with a visit to Women Who Wander at the UMLAUF. 3 women artists are behind this exhibit, and it’s definitely worth a visit. It runs through June 7, with tours and events happening throughout April.

Strong turnout. Strong voices. Strong posters.

A great Saturday making good trouble with fellow Austinites at the No Kings Day protest.

Public input matters, but tonight at the CTRMA hearing, it could only be submitted in writing.
That’s not how real public input should work.

Want to learn how Austin’s budget decisions are made? The City is launching a round of Community Budget Conversations so residents can help shape funding decisions.
For D5 Austinites, you can attend this Thursday’s session at ACC South Campus at 6:30 PM.

I’ll always push for engagement and public input that listens, not limits.

Happy Spring Break, Austin. While air travel may be difficult this week with all the flight cancellations and delays, I hope everyone gets some time to rest and enjoy the break.

Despite opposition from Blackland neighbors at Council, Ryan Alter voted yes. Why side with developers over residents? Here are my thoughts.

Transparency matters.
Austin residents deserve transparency about when lobbyists meet with elected officials and who is influencing decisions at City Hall.

Shout out to Karan Shirk and the rest of my D5 peeps for coming together at a moment’s notice to protest RFK Jr.’s visit to Cunningham Elementary in Garrison Park.

Today’s the last day of early voting. I spent years at the Brennan Center for Justice pushing back on efforts that make it harder to vote, including moves to scale back options like early voting. Make your voice heard for the March 3rd election!

At yesterday’s Council meeting, I spoke about the Barton Springs Bridge Project.
A few things have changed since 2023, and our plan should reflect that.
Preserve what matters. Spend wisely.

We can follow the law and still set smart guardrails. A second legal opinion helps Austin get this right with transparency, oversight, and real public trust.

A fitting reminder this Presidents Day of what collective leadership can accomplish.

Years of listening, learning, and speaking up, long before this campaign. I’ve been in the rooms and stood with neighbors on what impacts daily life. I’m running to restore public trust and deliver results for District 5. #AustinTX #AustinCityCouncil #AustinPolitics #DavidForATX
