Honored to be endorsed by @nationaldmo.org for my reelection campaign.

I'm proud of the work we've accomplished my first term; lowering rents, investing in public safety, and protecting civil rights.

Over the weekend we honored Alex Pretti and Renée Good and the grief their loved ones carry. In times like this, we cannot look away from each other. We keep each other safe. We speak up. We stay vigilant. That’s what community must mean right now.

More than 5000 people across Texas joined us in Austin today to protest ICE.

Children taken from their families, neighbors killed in the street, individuals dying in detention.

Enough is enough.

Renee Good.
Alex Pretti.
Keith Porter, Jr.

ICE is targeting our neighbors and killing them in the streets.

Silence is not an option. Join me and thousands of Texans in Austin this Saturday for a Stop

Austin is a city that shows up. This weekend, as people respond to ICE, there are many ways to participate. Protest. Strike. Hold vigil. Support organizers. Take care of your community. Our strength has always been in our people and in the many ways we stand together.

Grateful for the chance to speak on a panel at the University of Chicago earlier this month and connect with students about public service, local government, and the future of our cities. These conversations leave me feeling optimistic about the future of our cities.

Out of an abundance of caution, we’re rescheduling our re-election kickoff.

We don’t want anyone taking unnecessary risks just to get to an event.

Stay warm, check on neighbors, and reach out or call 311 if you are having any issues with power, trees, or any unsafe conditions.

Abolish ICE.

We honor Dr. King today by refusing to look away from injustice. In times like these, doing what’s right means choosing courage, defending human dignity, and standing with communities being targeted and harmed.

It was a pleasure welcoming UC Berkeley students to Austin City Hall and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at how we plan, build, and shape our city. Always grateful to connect with the next generation of public servants and planners.

With UT students returning to campus today, I want to give a big thank you to Jack, our fall UT student intern. Jack recently wrapped up his time in our office and we are grateful for all he contributed to our team and our community. Wishing him the best as he heads to DC!

Had a great time kicking off the Travis County Weekend of Action with Rep. Sheryl Cole in support of @jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas!

Texas needs smart, empathetic leadership now more than ever.

Austin stood with the people of Minneapolis opposing unlawful actions by ICE and demanding justice.

We should not live in a world of masked agents, dead civilians, and militarized streets.

America deserves better.

Austin stands for dignity, safety, and accountability. We mourn the loss of Renee Nicole Good, demand justice, and stand in solidarity with those impacted. ICE has no place endangering lives in our city.

Spent tonight with Liberal Austin Democrats, talking about winning big in 2026.

Democrats are fighters, and we’re bringing hope back.
