I’m running because our work isn’t finsihed.
When I first stepped into this role, I made a commitment to redefine what active representation looks like. For too long, City Hall felt distant, inaccessible, and unwelcoming to the very people it serves. We set out to change that ….intentionally, consistently, and with the community at the center of every decision.
That meant showing up differently. Not just at meetings….but on your blocks, in your schools, and at your kitchens and coffee tables.
We built that approach together through 1:1 coffee chats, councilman call time where I personally called constituents, block walking, and school pop-ups. I know that not everyone has the time to come to city hall….so we brought City Hall to you.
Together, we’ve delivered:
Affordable Homes
Advanced more units of affordable housing, converted city-owned land into affordable homes, extended the current homestead preservation district, and created two new districts to preserve & expand affordability.
Safer Neighborhoods
Secured funding for community violence intervention and non-traditional community-centered public safety.
Support For Families
Helped create Travis County's first Family Justice Center for survivors of family violence, was City Hall’s champion for Parent Support Specialists that keep our schools, families, and kiddos well resourced.
Small Business Wins
Delivered for small businesses by elevating local entrepreneurs, convening a Small Business Working Group, and bringing the Small Business Resource Fair to City Hall.
Digital Equity
Closing the digital divide by expanding opportunity for families, hosting the first Digital Equity Community Listening Session & Resource Fair at City Hall.
A Seat at the Table
Bringing a real community voice in development: making sure residents are heard, respected, and have a seat at the table before decisions are made.
Why I’m Asking for Four More Years
Accessibility remains a barrier.
While we’ve made meaningful progress, the reality is clear: Affordability is still the defining challenge of our time. Too many families are being priced out of the communities they helped build. City Hall still doesn’t work for everyone and we have to keep breaking down those walls.
We also face ongoing challenges in:
Preventing displacement
Expanding access to services and opportunity
Ensuring public safety through community-centered approaches
Building an Austin where working families can not only survive, but thrive
These challenges remain real, but so is our momentum. We’ve built a foundation, and now it’s time to finish the work. I’ve proven what it means to be accessible. I’ve shown what it looks like to lead with community. And together, we’ve turned ideas into action. But the vision we started requires consistency, accountability, and follow-through.
Four more years means:
Delivering even more affordable housing
Deepening community engagement—not scaling it back
Expanding investments in families, youth, and public safety
Continuing to make City Hall work for you—not the other way around
This has never been about a title. It’s about service. Because the spirit of District 3 doesn’t live in a building downtown. It lives in the history of East Austin. It’s active in the streets of Montopolis. It echoes through Riverside and Oltorf. It’s present at St. Edward’s, ACC, Battle Bend, and along Congress.
