Saturday, I joined the Bull Creek Foundation, Friends of Springwoods Park, and Austin Parks and Recreation for It's My Park Day! I was happy to help beautify our public spaces so we can all enjoy the gifts of nature. It was a beautiful day for working together.
Un cordial saludo a todos los que celebran el Día de los Muertos. Hoy honramos a nuestros seres queridos que han fallecido y les recordamos que nunca los olvidaremos.
Warm wishes to all who observe el Día de los Muertos. Today we honor our loved ones who have passed and we remind them we will never forget them.
Together, we helped build 25 new affordable, energy-efficient homes that will provide families with strength, stability, and hope. It was a privilege to honor the legacy of President Jimmy Carter in this way.

I was so proud to present a proclamation honoring Mama Duke, a trailblazing Austin and District 6 artist and finalist on America's Got Talent!
Mama Duke earned Mel B’s Golden Buzzer, became the first female rapper to make it to the Top 10, and performs on Austin’s biggest stages!

Many in District 6 lost power during Winter Storm Uri. As we face more extreme weather, Austin Energy is developing a Resiliency Plan to strengthen our local grid, reduce outages, restore power faster, and better prepare for future storms.

In August, Council adopted a budget that aligns with the City’s fiscal reserve policy, maintains the City’s AAA credit rating, & continues funding for essential services that reflect community input. At the proposed rate, the budget preserves current service levels & prepares for future needs.

#NationalComingOutDay
Today, on National Coming Out Day, I am heartbroken to learn that the State of Texas is going to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars for critical services if Austin does not remove its beloved Pride crosswalks.

Here in Austin, we’re fortunate to have a strong and thriving public library system that embraces inclusion and access for all. But across Texas and the country, many communities are facing increasing levels of censorship.
