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

Black history is Austin history. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we recognize the generations of Black Austinites who overcame obstacles and built thriving communities, created culture, and shaped this city. We honor them, and all Black voices whose impact reaches far beyond TX.

Looking out for one another starts with sharing knowledge, and everyone deserves to understand their rights and feel informed and prepared. Please take a moment to review these resources and pass them along to friends, family, and neighbors.

I am with you. What’s unfolding in our country is unacceptable, and I share your anger and determination to put an end to these un-American acts.

Excited to join fellow Austinites this morning at the State Capitol on a gorgeous morning to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #martinlutherkingjr

Making good trouble at the anti ICE protest in Austin. #notonemore

Suing an entire neighborhood to pursue a more lucrative real estate deal is a way to erode, not build, public trust -- and it is a wrongheaded decision. I will bring a leadership style of collaboration, not confrontation, to City Hall. More here: bit.ly/49fkG0Y @playfairwithrosedale

Excited to announce I have brought on Great Society Strategies and Austin's Priscilla Peña to serve as general consultants for my Austin City Council District 5 campaign. Glad to have them on board! (and I love the company name)

You know what time it is friends... the coming of the New Year also means it's political campaign fundraising-deadline time. Please send a few bucks my way before the curtains close on 2025. Austin City Council District 5 will thank you. Donate today at davidforatx.com

This holiday season, help me give the gift of real representation to the residents of Austin's City Council District 5. bit.ly/44xiAXo #representationmatters

Gun violence is America's foremost tragedy and failure. Elected officials must work tirelessly to advocate for a future where this senseless bloodshed is not routine and devastating to the fabric of our society. #gunviolence

I greatly enjoyed attending the @progresstexas.bsky.social Austin holiday party last night and spending time with that wholesome band of progressive fighters led by the inimitable @kathleenthompson.bsky.social.

Today is my birthday, and as I embark on a year of running for public office, I would greatly appreciate your support by slinging me a couple few bucks for the cause. Learn more and donate at davidforatx.com #atx #austin

Today I had the pleasure of speaking with the Austin Environmental Democrats about my race for Austin City Council District 5. I highlighted the tension between serving special interests and the environment as an elected official. #austin #environment #integrity

I have serious concerns about AISD's plan to close and consolidate schools, and how parents' voices are not being heard. #austinisd More at: bit.ly/3LbtiMs

I'm excited to announce I am running for Austin City Council District 5. I’m not running for City Council to be the smartest person in the room. I’m running to listen. More at davidforatx.com #austin #atx #austincitycouncil
