Happy Thanksgiving, Austin. I am grateful for this community and the kindness that surrounds us every day. Earlier this week, I had the chance to attend the H-E-B Feast of Sharing and give back alongside so many neighbors. Wishing everyone a warm and joyful holiday with the people you love.

My statement regarding last night’s budget adoption: We delivered a balanced, people-focused budget that reflects Austin’s values. Thank you to the residents, staff, and partners who made this possible.

Proud to support a safer, more connected transit future for Texas. Make your voice heard on the Statewide Multimodal Transit Plan by taking the survey tonight: www.surveymonkey.com/r/F6RQFQN

Thank you to Austin’s Persian community for inviting me to the Persian Fall Festival at the Asian American Resource Center. It’s an honor to celebrate the traditions, stories, and culture that make our city stronger and more connected.

Austin is better served with @doggett.house.gov and @gregcasar.bsky.social representing our community in Congress. Their leadership, commitment to working families, and dedication to equitable policy make a meaningful difference for Central Texas. Our future is stronger with their voices in DC.

Ultimately, it was a surrender to justice. But it shows that you can get Donald Trump to come to your side as opposed to having to cave to his side. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/o...

Thank you to the Habitat for Humanity UT Chapter for inviting me to speak. Student leaders are playing a key role in building a more affordable, connected Austin by showing what it means to take action, organize locally, and invest in the future of our city.

I joined neighbors in the Zilker area rallying to save Fairy Alley, a space that’s brought creativity and connection to our city for years. I’m proud to support the community and the City’s efforts to protect what makes Austin unique. Let’s Keep Austin Weird.

Grateful to spend last night with the North Loop Neighborhood Association celebrating neighbors who keep Austin connected. Congrats to Mike Wong and Brian Bedrosian, and thank you both for your hard work and dedication to your community.

Many in our community are feeling the impact of the federal shutdown and SNAP disruptions. If you need food support or want to help neighbors in need, resources and volunteer opportunities are available across D9.

My statement regarding the results of Proposition Q and what comes next for Austin:

Our 2025 season comes to an end.

Keep pushing.
