I am running for Austin City Council Place 1 because I believe, like many others do, that our local government should have more transparency and accountability to the people. Our City Council members have the ability to balance the City budget without encouraging more bond spending. Excessive bond spending will only put our children in more debt by continuing to give as well as loan money to companies and corporations. I also believe that City Council can do a better job of managing social issues such as mental health, homeless issues and affordable housing. As your City Councilman I will work to increase healthy economic growth while balancing environmental issues. I will also work to preserve the things that we enjoy that make Austin the special city that it is. I will fight to ensure ultimate accountability and transparency of our local government. I have shown interest in serving on the Animal Advisory Commission, the Austin Area Comprehensive HIV Planning Council, the Housing Authority of the City of Austin and the Parks and Recreation Board. As your City Councilman I hope to be able to represent you on these Boards and Commissions as well. I have received the endorsements of the Travis County Mexican- American Democrats and El Concilio. With your support and donations we can come together to change the direction of our City Council. Sincerely, Josiah James Ingalls |
