Once again, Ryan Alter is putting politicians ahead of residents by backing a change that would make it harder for voters to hold Council members accountable. District 5 deserves leaders who answer to the people, not ones rewriting the rules to protect themselves. #DavidForATX

It is pretty wild that Austin City Council members aren't disclosing their vote on a major policy issue that lots of members of the public weighed in on. If elected to Council I would not do this. Ever. x.com/1mp0ssibl34nsR/status/…

If allowed to behave this way, council could easily hide intentions from the public by labeling items as sensitive. This sets a pretty crazy precedent for the future of the city.

Another closed-door vote. Another win for special interests. Ryan Alter and Council chose a costly 40-year fossil fuel future for Austin. #DavidForATX

Austinites showed up to oppose a backroom deal handing the 2,600-acre Dog’s Head tract to a developer for 45 years. I spoke against it. Ryan Alter sided with the developer. The deal passed. The giveaway is complete. #DavidForATX #AustinTX

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
