In Austin’s 100+ years history, I’m only the second Latina to ever get elected to
#ATXCouncil
.
In 2020, I was the only Latina running citywide so today’s news that we have a Latina in each of the 4 runoffs is HUGE.

The likelihood that there will be at least 2 of us serving on the dais next year is that much closer to reality. Regardless of where we fall on the policy spectrum, next year’s council will be the most diverse EVER. 💜

That’s because the job never paid 6 figures with a 6 week vacation and 12 paid holidays , a $4500 car allowance and a phone allowance. To show their compassion for the unemployed they gave Flannigan a $145,000 PART TIME JOB instead of a Hilton executive

Just more theft of the taxpayer. These positions were never meant to be a lottery/set people for life. You deserve a raise. Throw in another 40%..

Just so you know, the mayor is part of it also. John Trevino, Gus Garcia, you, Pio, Chito, Casar (pretends to be), Delia Garza. I see you say Latina but also talk about diversity. 3 out of 10 members are Hispanic. Racism much?
