Surrounded by family, neighbors, and small business owners, Trina Crumpton announced her campaign for Mayor of Austin, Arkansas.
In her announcement, Trina laid out a campaign built on three commitments: a fresh start at City Hall, a record of service to build on, and the readiness to lead a growing city. “This is home,” she said. “I am not asking anyone to take a chance on an outsider.”
The campaign begins a series of neighborhood conversations to hear directly from residents about streets, safety, and city services.
The listening tour will visit every part of Austin over the summer, with morning coffee sessions and evening meetings so working families can attend. Notes from each stop will shape the campaign’s final policy platform.
Trina spent the week visiting Austin small businesses to talk about permitting, parking, and what the city can do to help them grow.
Owners raised slow permitting, unclear signage rules, and the need for better foot traffic downtown. Trina committed to a small business office hour at City Hall every month if elected.
Trina outlined a public safety approach built on staffing, response times, and real partnership with residents.
The plan calls for publishing response-time data quarterly, funding recruitment and retention for first responders, and standing up neighborhood safety meetings that actually get followed up on.
Volunteers gathered to clear roadside litter and repaint the park benches ahead of the season.
More than forty neighbors turned out. The campaign is planning a second cleanup in the fall — sign up on the Get Involved page to join the crew.
The campaign committee has officially filed and is now accepting contributions from supporters.
All contributions are reported as required by Arkansas campaign finance law. The campaign accepts no contributions from parties with business pending before the city.
