If you care about the future of Central Texas and those less fortunate among us, please read this call for action from One Voice Central Texas. We need to amplify their voice and support the nonprofits who keep our community safe, growing, and fed. onevoicecentraltx.org/issues/local-n…

Who would choose an education policy that failed in other states? TX parents have the right to know this is an expensive, failed policy that will almost entirely benefit wealthy parents already sending their kids to private schools. Gina Hinojosa James Talarico Royce West

Local government is always important, but in times like these the choices made at the local level can light a way forward.

Happy #SXSW2025! Thank you John Fogerty & Stubbs Austin for a great night.

I was excited to celebrate the grand opening of the new Canyon Creek FIRE/EMS Station on 620. This marks the achievement of an ambitious goal to build 5 new Fire/EMS stations in 6 years to reduce response times, support first responders, and elevate our wildfire preparedness.

We are currently experiencing wildfires and red flag conditions in our region. The risks are real and we all need to do our part. That is why I sat down with @TheAustinCommon to discuss what we can do to prevent and prepare for wildfire. theaustincommon.com/how-prepared-i… Austin Fire Dept
