NEW: AOC and her team are positioning her to run for president or the Senate in 2028, according to people familiar with her operation.

When I first ran, I didn’t see many people who looked like me on the ballot. Sitting alongside other AAPI leaders last night with Asian Texans for Justice reminded me why representation matters. It's a great reminder that the movement is bigger than any one of us.

Wednesday kicked off Mexican Heritage Month, and to celebrate I wanted to share the progress on the Mexican American Cultural Center renovations here in District 9. I can’t wait to see this space reopen and welcome the community back.

The DOJ is reviewing Austin’s equity and hiring practices. I stand by our commitment to fairness and inclusion. Our work removes barriers and builds a city government that truly serves everyone.

Make some noise. IT’S DERBY DAY! #DALvATX | 7:30PM CT | #MLSSeasonPass on Apple TV

24 years later, we remember the lives lost on 9/11, honor the bravery of first responders, and stand with families forever changed. Austin joins the nation in reflection, reminding us to lead with compassion, unity, and service in their memory.

On September 11, we pause to remember the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the resilience that united our nation in the face of tragedy.

I’m deeply saddened by the tragic shooting near Barton Creek involving an APD officer and a community member. My heart is with them, their families, and loved ones. I’m committed to working with partners to support healing and strengthen safety across Austin.

Just two days before the Barton Springs attack, I pushed a resolution to rebuild Austin’s Hate Crimes Task Force. Soon it will be fully city-led, with better reporting tools and stronger support for survivors. Learn more: austinfreepress.org/barton-stings/

KC comeback! 🤠

Even through 45' in KC.

Too many lives have been lost on Rainey Street. That’s why I pushed for stronger lighting, fencing, and cameras to keep our community safe. This reporting shows why these steps matter: www.kvue.com/article/news...

Every life lost is a tragedy. I'm grateful for the strength and advocacy of families who have turned their grief into action. Proud our office helped bring forward policies that have led to fewer drownings. The work continues.

Happy Labor Day Austin. We’re thankful for all of Austin’s city workers who keep our community running.

Happy Labor Day! Unions secured the 40-hour work week, safer job sites, and fairer pay. Now Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to tear that legacy apart. Today and every day, we stand with all American workers.

On Labor Day, we honor the legacy of workers throughout history who fought for dignity on the job and safer working conditions. As Trump and Republicans continue to attack decades of progress and weaken the labor movement, I remain committed to protecting and advancing workers' rights everywhere.

Happy Workers’ Labor Day from America’s unions! Today, we celebrate the workers who make America run and make our labor movement unstoppable. We’ll keep fighting so ALL working people get the freedom, fairness and security they need and deserve. Join us: WorkersLaborDay.org

Labor Day isn’t just a day off-it's proof of what collective organizing can win. ✊

Massive three points at home!

Strong first 45'!

The Austin congressman, who announced his bid for the newly redrawn Texas Thirty-Seventh, talks the Republican power grab, the failures of his party, and overcoming voter cynicism.

Couldn’t have asked for a better announcer - thank you, Mayor Watson, for helping share such a special milestone. Our family is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support as we welcome our newest addition.

Pride is about joy, safety & community. With Item 122, Austin is working to update how we respond to hate crimes by improving reporting & data, so everyone can celebrate authentically. 🌈 Here are resources for if you or someone you know experience a hate crime: www.austintexas.gov/page/underst...

Texas will miss @doggett.house.gov steady voice and principled leadership. It’s deeply unfair that Trump-backed gerrymandering is forcing out a public servant who’s given decades to our community. We’re grateful for his example—and we must keep up the fight for fair maps.

Lloyd Doggett is an Austin institution. I’ve learned so much from him. I’m grateful to him. The fight for democracy continues.

Excited to celebrate Austin Pride this weekend! From the parade to the festival and community events, there’s so much happening across the city. Check out the graphic for all the details and join us in celebrating love, joy, and community. @austinpride.bsky.social

Proud of the work we’re doing in ATX to help folks thrive, with an abundance mindset that advances housing goals while strengthening social services and protections. Read my recent op-ed in The Nation w/ co-authors Buchanan Azeem, Teresa Mosqueda, & Anna Brawley. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I’m proud to support Austin Animal Center and all of the incredible work they do for our community. Every pet deserves a safe, loving home, and it’s on us as a city to make sure our shelter has the resources it needs. 🐾

I took to the Nation to write as someone who has been doing “Abundance” since the very beginning. It was started by a bunch of people in deep blue cities, I’m glad moderates are catching on but I don’t think it’s an either/or with other progressive policies. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Well said @zoforaustin.bsky.social, et al. /1
