From the beginning, my top priority has been to bring more City services to District 6 - to improve our schools, our utilities, and our connectivity. I can't do that without YOU!

Early voting starts Monday!
Yes on prop Q! For more services in D6! From the beginning, my top priority has been to bring more city services to district 6 to improve our schools, our utilities and our connectivity.

My statement on today’s news of a ceasefire agreement in the Middle East.
The image has a double layered dark purple border and a light purple background. The title text reads: Statement from Council Member Krista Laine on Ceasefire Agreement January 15, 2025. The body text reads: “The ceasefire agreement reached today marks the first step toward a meaningful and lasting solution. While there remains a long journey ahead, this is a critical moment to reflect on a tragedy that has persisted for far too long. I have always been a steadfast advocate for human rights for all Austin residents. I am committed to using my time in office to ensure that our city’s diverse communities are fully represented and empowered. Our path forward lies in unity and collaboration, not division and conflict. We must honor and uphold the full humanity of everyone who lives and works in Austin.” There is a signature at the bottom of the image by Krista Laine.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of getting to know Fernando de Urioste, a SpEd advocate and former teacher who needs your vote in the run-off election for AISD school board.

The actions of school-board members-like city councilmembers-have ripple effects that go beyond district boundaries.
