Campaign themes
2014
On his campaign website, Hoerster made the following statement:[1]
- Excerpt: "I am the councilman for everyone. I do not have pet projects or a personal agenda, I work for the interests of everyone in District 3 and Austin. I work with other districts as we are still one city. Together we can accomplish anything. I work with groups all across the city because how can we expect them to show interest and work with District 3 if we do not show interest in them. I listen to what everyone has to say. I do not assume to know all 'stuff'."

The city of Austin held elections for city council on November 4, 2014. The candidate filing deadline was August 18, 2014. Because of redistricting and term limits, there was no incumbent for District 3.[2] Candidates included Susana Almanza, Mario Cantu, Julian Limon Fernandez, Christopher L. Hoerster, Shaun D. Ireland, Fred McGhee, Kent K. Phillips, Jose Quintero, Eric J. Rangel, Sabino "Pio" Renteria, Ricardo Turullols-Bonilla and Jose A. Valera. Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the general election, the top two vote-getters - Almanza and Renteria - faced each other in a runoff election on December 16, 2014.[3][4] Renteria was the winner.[5]
