Brittany Black completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2025. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Black's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Families are being squeezed by rising costs, higher property taxes, and neighborhoods that aren’t getting the services they pay for. I will fight for policies that lower everyday costs, protect homeowners and renters, and ensure our tax dollars actually benefit our community. As a senior software engineer and business owner, I know how to build efficient systems and eliminate waste — and I’ll bring that same focus on affordability and accountability to Austin.
- District 61 is growing fast, but Austin isn’t keeping up. We need reliable power, safer roads, and real planning to prevent preventable outages and congestion. I’ll work to strengthen community safety, modernize the grid, and ensure families can count on stable, functioning infrastructure. My background in national security and technology taught me how to solve complex problems — and I’ll bring that expertise to protecting our community’s well-being.
- Texans deserve a government that tells the truth, uses tax dollars responsibly, and works for the people — not insiders or special interests. I will champion full transparency in budgeting, contracting, and agency performance so families can finally see where their money goes. I come from a family of farmers and military members who believed public service means putting community first — and that’s exactly how I will lead.
