Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a proven reformer with extensive community, small-business and non-profit experience, as well as seven years on the Travis County Commissioners Court, and three on the Austin City Council.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Fight climate change, the most pressing social-justice issue of our age, as the harm falls hardest on poor communities.
• Create more affordable housing; the county is already creating more than 11,000 units, either built or underway.
• Continue criminal-justice reform, e.g., the first Public Defender Office and the first Sobering Center as an alternative to jail; I helped pass both.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Climate change: what we can do to prepare our residents for its effects and what we can do locally to help reverse the effects of greenhouse gases on our planet.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org.
