Two weeks from today, we kick off this campaign! I’d love for you to join me on June 2 from 6–8 PM for my campaign kickoff at Bouldin Acres. It’s time for real leadership that listens. I hope to see you there. RSVP: tinyurl.com/DavidforATX #DavidForATX #AustinTX #District5

Austin deserves safety, peace, and meaningful action. My heart is with everyone impacted.

Today I participated in AISD’s workshop kick-off discussion on future school boundary changes. This issue is very important for many D5 parents & I will monitor it closely. The South Austin in-person meeting will be held on Tuesday, 6/16 at 6PM at the Burger Activity Center.

Last night’s Mother’s Day Gathering & Fundraiser hosted by the Austin Moms Demand Action chapter brought the community together in support of gun safety advocacy and violence intervention across Texas. I appreciated the opportunity to contribute to their mission. #DavidForATX

Wishing everyone a very Happy Mother’s Day. Feeling especially grateful for mine today. #DavidForATX #MothersDay #AustinTX

Once again, Ryan Alter is siding with big special interests instead of Austin residents. Read my statement on today’s resolution. #DavidForATX #AustinTX

Enjoyed supporting Clean Water Action at their benefit last night. Heard remarks from their statewide director Becky Smith and guest speaker Schuyler Wight on the importance of water stewardship an education in Texas. @cleanh2oaction.bsky.social #DavidForAtx #CleanWaterActionATX

Save the date! My official campaign kickoff is June 2nd. Let’s come together and celebrate what this campaign is about for the future of D5! Tuesday, June 2, 2026 | 6–8 PM Bouldin Acres | 2027 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704 Free event, light fare and refreshments #DavidForATX

City Council is approving rezoning cases without enough thought, and I spoke with Austin Free Press about it. Residents deserve better than questionable priorities and results that don’t deliver. Read more: austinfreepress.org/rubber-stamp/ #DavidForATX #ATXCityCouncil #Accountability

Joined neighbors in Zilker Barton Hills yesterday to talk wildfire preparedness and evacuation planning hosted by Get Ready Central Texas. Stay informed and sign up for local emergency alerts: warncentraltexas.org #DavidForATX #ATX #WarnCentralTexas

Wildfires may not be something we deal with every year in Austin, but being prepared and informed matters. Stay informed and sign up for local emergency alerts: warncentraltexas.org #DavidForATX #ATX #WarnCentralTexas

Had a great time today with fellow precinct chairs at the monthly BASCA meeting. We discussed mobilizing voters for the May runoff election and heard from the new TCDP Chair, Jessica Cohen. @traviscountydems @bascatexas #DavidForATX #AustinTX #DavidForD5

It’s funky, free-spirited, and completely Austin, Eeyore’s Birthday Party never disappoints. #EeyoresBirthdayParty #KeepAustinWeird #DavidForATX

Item 39 is a step forward, bringing the Community Development Commission into the rezoning application process for properties with existing multifamily and affordable housing. At the end of the day, it’s about how Council approaches these decisions. #DavidForATX #AustinHousing #ATX

Residents have made it clear they want a deeper look at the MoPac South expansion. A full Environmental Impact Statement that actually align with our environmental and mobility goals are essential. Thank you to Council for taking this step. #DavidForATX #MoPacSouth #bettermopac

I spoke at City Council yesterday in support of Item 37, the “Safe to Call” process which ensures residents can call for emergency services with safety and protection. No one, especially immigrants, should be afraid to call for help. #DavidForATX #StandWithImmigrants

Unlike last month’s “public hearing,” tonight’s MoPac South Town Hall did it right. Full agenda of speakers, helpful information, and real opportunities for residents to speak. #DavidForATX #MoPacSouth #AustinTX #PublicInput

Unlike last month’s “public hearing,” tonight’s MoPac South Town Hall did it right. Full agenda of speakers, helpful information, and real opportunities for residents to speak. #DavidForATX #MoPacSouth #AustinTX #PublicInput

THIS is how real public input is done. Thank you to the Better MoPac Coalition for doing what others wouldn’t, giving residents real answers and a real voice on the MoPac South expansion. Weigh in by May 3rd: ph.mopacsouth.com #DavidForATX #MoPacSouth #AustinTX

Let’s celebrate 4/20 by getting to 420 signatures. Let’s make sure the smokable hemp ban is lifted for good. Sign the petition: bit.ly/ReverseHempBan #ReverseHempBan #DavidForATX

You can’t pick and choose fiscal responsibility. #DavidForATX #AustinTX #ATXPolitics #Accountability

Thankful for all of the ideas offered by the community last night at the Zilker Neighborhood Association Meeting. I’m working around the clock on quality of life issues and fighting for our public schools. #DavidForATX #AustinTX #DavidForD5 #CommunityFirst

A great day at 45Fest supporting Cunningham Elementary School here in D5! #DavidForATX #District5 #D5Proud #45Fest #SupportOurSchools

I’m speaking out against the smokable hemp ban and calling for action. Read my letter to Governor Greg Abbott and sign the petition at bit.ly/ReverseHempBan #DavidForATX #ReverseHempBan #ProtectTexasHemp #ATX

The City Manager is hosting a series of Community Budget Conversations, and I joined the fourth one today. Here’s my recap and what stood out to me from the session. #DavidForATX #AustinDistrict5 #AustinBudget #CommunityFirst #ATXPolitics

What I love about D5: South Austin Baseball I’m looking forward to a season on these fields that bring our community together, especially cheering on my son in his 5th year in the league. Fields like these matter, and they’re worth protecting. #DavidforATX #SouthAustinBaseball

Closing out Women’s History Month with a visit to Women Who Wander at the UMLAUF. 3 women artists are behind this exhibit, and it’s definitely worth a visit. It runs through June 7, with tours and events happening throughout April. #WomensHistoryMonth #ATXArts #DavidForATX

Strong turnout. Strong voices. Strong posters. #NoKingsAustin #NoKingsATX #NoKings #ATX #DavidForATX

A great Saturday making good trouble with fellow Austinites at the No Kings Day protest. #NoKingsAustin #NoKingsATX #NoKings #ATX #DavidForATX

Public input matters, but tonight at the CTRMA hearing, it could only be submitted in writing. That’s not how real public input should work. #CTRMA #MoPac #ATX #DavidForATX #AustinCommunity

Want to learn how Austin’s budget decisions are made? The City is launching a round of Community Budget Conversations so residents can help shape funding decisions. For D5 Austinites, you can attend this Thursday’s session at ACC South Campus at 6:30 PM. #AustinBudget #DavidForATX

I’ll always push for engagement and public input that listens, not limits. To make your voice heard and submit written comments, visit bit.ly/MoPacComments #CTRMA #MoPacSouth #ATX #DavidForATX #AustinCommunity

Great to be at the Travis County Democratic Convention today connecting with neighbors, leaders, and advocates who care deeply about our community! Looking forward to continuing these conversations and working together for District 5. #DavidForATX #ATXCommunity #District5

Happy Spring Break, Austin. While air travel may be difficult this week with all the flight cancellations and delays, I hope everyone gets some time to rest and enjoy the break. #SpringBreak #austintx

Despite opposition from Blackland neighbors at Council, Ryan Alter voted yes. Why side with developers over residents? Here are my thoughts. #Austin #ATX #AustinCityCouncil #BlacklandTX #AustinPolitics

Transparency matters. Austin residents deserve transparency about when lobbyists meet with elected officials and who is influencing decisions at City Hall. #Austin #ATX #Transparency #Lobbyists #OpenGovernment

Great morning at Cherry Creek Community Garden for It’s My Park Day! Sponsored by Austin Parks Foundation, this citywide volunteer day brings neighbors together to care for the parks and green spaces that connect our communities. #AustinTX #District5ATX #ItsMyParkDay

Today is the last day of Amplify Austin, Central Texas’ largest annual event of giving, organized by I Live Here I Give Here. There’s still time to give and invest in the organizations strengthening our city by going to AmplifyAustin.org! #AmplifyAustin #ATXGives #SupportLocal #GiveBack

It’s Primary Election Day, and polls are open until 7 PM. Visit VoteTravis.gov for additional information. Make your voice heard and vote! #AustinTX #ATXVotes #VoteTexas

Shout out to Karan Shirk and the rest of my D5 peeps for coming together at a moment’s notice to protest RFK Jr.’s visit to Cunningham Elementary in Garrison Park. #sciencematters

Today’s the last day of early voting. I spent years at the Brennan Center for Justice pushing back on efforts that make it harder to vote, including moves to scale back options like early voting. Make your voice heard for the March 3rd election! #AustinTX #VoteTexas #EarlyVoting

At yesterday’s Council meeting, I spoke about the Barton Springs Bridge Project. A few things have changed since 2023, and our plan should reflect that. Preserve what matters. Spend wisely. #AustinTX #ATXCityCouncil #BartonSprings #AustinInfrastructure #ATXCommunity

We can follow the law and still set smart guardrails. A second legal opinion helps Austin get this right with transparency, oversight, and real public trust. Read more: www.statesman.com/opinion/colu... #AustinTX #APD #PublicSafety #AustinPolitics

This LBJ quote has long been a driving force for me. A fitting reminder this Presidents Day of what collective leadership can accomplish. #PresidentsDay #AustinCommunity #DavidforATX #AustinTX

My favorite people. Happy Valentine's Day. #HappyValentinesDay #FamilyFirst #Austin #ATXLife #AustinCommunity

Years of listening, learning, and speaking up, long before this campaign. I’ve been in the rooms and stood with neighbors on what impacts daily life. I’m running to restore public trust and deliver results for District 5. #AustinTX #AustinCityCouncil #AustinPolitics #DavidForATX

Took a walk on Wishbone Bridge and through the Unity Underpass today. Big upgrade for runners, cyclists, and families. The underpass art is pure Austin: 200+ locals left their mark. Grateful to everyone who made it happen. #AustinTX #UnityUnderpass #WishboneBridge #LadyBirdLake #AbsoluteEquality

The Council needs to go back to the drawing board with this project, and step one is getting buy-in from the community.  Right now, that is sorely lacking.   #AustinTX #AustinCityCouncil #PublicTrust #BartonSpringsRoad

Public trust starts with accountability. I’ll always stand up for responsible use of taxpayer dollars. #PublicTrust #FiscalResponsibility #AustinTX #AustinCityCouncil

Today is the last day to register for the March 3rd TX primary. City Council races are not on this ballot, but registering now ensures your voice is heard and you’re ready for November. Every election matters. VoteTexas.gov #VoteTexas #AustinTX
