Three years ago, Austin elected me to fight for a more affordable, more just Austin.
We’ve delivered real change – even when the state pushed back.
I’m running for re-election to keep fighting for our future. zoforaustin.com
This week dozens of volunteers helped us knock thousands of doors across District 9!
We’re showing up everywhere to talk with our neighbors about the Austin we love and how we make it work better for everyone who calls it home.
Couldn’t be more grateful for this team! – at Austin, TX
With less than 90 days until Election Day, there is no time to sit on the sidelines.
I’m proud to have leaders from across Austin joining us at the doors this month.
Come knock with us. Sign up: zoforaustin.com/get-involved…

I’m proud to have stood with ATU members today.
As a CapMetro board member, I’ll continue fighting for negotiations in good faith; together we can deliver the fair contract these workers have earned. – at Austin, TX
Every move-out season, furniture ends up in landfills while someone else struggles to furnish their next home.
That’s why the City of Austin’s MoveOutATX program lets you donate items through July 31 or shop the Free Furniture Market starting tonight. moveoutatx.com
Texans know what happens when we ignore the limits of our grid, our water supply, & our infrastructure.
As data center development expands, we must prioritize the costs to our communities.
Our resources should build stronger communities – not bigger profits for corporations.

One of the best parts of this job is getting to spend time with Austin's youngest residents. Thank you to the students, teachers, and staff at Todos Juntos Learning Center for welcoming me for story time. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
A beautiful 4th of July spent with neighbors in Delwood 2 and Mueller!
Celebrating 250 years of our democracy - and the work it takes to make it stronger for everyone. 🇺🇸

.@zoforaustin has delivered for Austin, expanding housing supply in Central Austin, launching Sip Safely to prevent drink tampering & backing stronger emergency response.
As he runs for re-election, Austin needs his leadership to keep building a more affordable & safe city!
Couldn’t agree less.
But it makes sense that a guy who got famous as a bankrupted landlord doesn’t understand the value of affordable housing.
Muslim Texans left the GOP convention in tears.
As the first Muslim elected to Austin City Council, we’ve focused on lowering rent, preventing hate crimes, and delivering for working families.
Texans deserve leaders with better priorities.
The best part of the World Cup isn’t just the soccer-it’s bringing people together.
That’s why our office worked to bring Austin’s inaugural World Cup celebration to Auditorium Shores with @AustinFC.
Proud to help create a space where people around the world celebrate together.
Gun violence is a public health crisis affecting Austin and communities across the country.
That’s why I’m honored to earn the @MomsDemand Gun Sense Candidate Distinction.
I'm committed to advancing local solutions that make our neighborhoods & cities safer.
I'm honored to have @LloydDoggettTX support behind my re-election!
Generations of Austinites have benefited from his leadership & his willingness to stand up for ordinary people.
I'm proud to continue that work by fighting for housing affordability and opportunity for everyone.
Texas Republicans talk nonstop about “protecting children.”
Meanwhile, Ken Paxton helped his friend - Adam Hoffman - walk away with just 30 days in jail after repeatedly raping a 5 year old.
Child predators get more grace from Paxton & Trump than working Texans ever will.
Breaking News: President Trump endorsed Ken Paxton for Senate in Texas just a week before his primary runoff against Senator John Cornyn. nyti.ms/3PwtbgQ

Before the Trump administration poured billions into ICE and built partnerships between local police and state and federal immigration agents, Texas was already doing it.
So, for those opposed to the deportation surge, Texas is worth paying attention to. kut.org/news/2026-05-03/aust…
