Stronger Community
Austin is at its best when neighbors know each other. Community life needs places to happen and reasons to gather.
A safe, connected city where everyone belongs.
Fund park and trail upkeep and back neighborhood-led events.
Public Safety
Residents deserve fast, dependable response and first responders who are supported and staffed.
Fully staffed police and fire, with published response times.
Recruitment and retention plan plus quarterly public safety reporting.
Supporting Local Growth
Small businesses are Austin employers. Too often the city is an obstacle instead of a partner.
Make it simple to open and grow a business here.
Clear permitting timelines and a monthly small business office hour.
Streets & Infrastructure
Growth has outpaced the roads, drainage, and water lines that carry it.
Fix what we have before we promise what we do not.
A published, prioritized street and drainage schedule residents can track.
Fiscal Responsibility
A city budget should be readable by the people who pay for it.
Careful spending and honest accounting, every year.
A plain-language budget summary and a review of recurring contracts.
Communication & Transparency
Too many residents learn about decisions after they are made.
Tell people early, in language they can use.
Monthly city updates, posted agendas, and open mayor office hours.
