Burnt Orange Report Endorsement for Mayor of Austin
0Burnt Orange Report offers a dual endorsement of Mike Martinez and Sheryl Cole for Mayor. We suggest that your choice should come down to which leadership style you prefer.
“We have to look at the big picture and don’t get caught up in saying we want it now.”
As progressives, we think Austin must offer legitimate opportunities for people of all ages and income levels to find a home and get around our city. As a result, we have chosen to support candidates who reflect that vision.
We can’t retroactively go back and build adequate public transit infrastructure starting two decades ago. We need to do what we can now, and that means voting FOR the City of Austin proposition.
Just because Republicans are afraid to vote for needed improvements because they fear Tea Party primary challenges does not mean Texans should be forced to suffer from a lack of basic infrastructure.
