Safe City
Elect Candidates Who Will Restore the Police Budget
The City Council cut $150M (34%) from the police budget when violent crime is growing the fastest rate in 5 years and when we led the nation in the growth of the homicide rate (WSJ data). We can reform policing, independently investigate brutality & reduce crime, but not by cutting $150M from our police.

Safe Neighborhoods
Restore the Ban on Homeless Camping
The homeless camping ordinance is destroying our city by harming public safety, public health, tourism and the image of Austin. And it isn't compassionate for the homeless, who need to be in shelters, not in tents.
