Austin City Council Endorsement Update
By Byron LaMasters
I listed the endorsements made for Place 3 for Austin City Council made earlier this week by NxNW Democrats, ALGPC, and Stonewall Democrats. Here are some more endorsements in the past few days:
3/21: CAP-D (Capitol Area Progressive Democrats): Margot Clarke
3/21: TED (Texas Environmental Democrats): No Endorsement
3/23: Austin Neighborhoods Council: Margot Clarke
I must say that the Margot Clarke campaign has done a relatively good job of consolidating her base (progressive grassroots) considering the size of the field. If the Clarke campaign had planned a little bit better, they probably could have won the NxNW (word is that they lost that one by a single vote).
I also learned today that the St. Edward's University Democrats have endorsed Gregg Knaupe.

Yeah, and that was the meeting she had to leave to make it to another endorsement meeting. I heard it went to runoff and as she wasn't there to vote in the run off she lost it by her own vote.
I am an active student at St. Edwards and have never heard of the St. Edwards University Democrats. Who are they? How do I join? It seems weird to me that the first time I have heard of them is when they endorse a candidate.
Also, Jennifer Kim just gained the endorsement of the Black Austin Democrats after their candidate forum tonight, 3/24.
Thanks Amy. I was aware of that meeting tonight and was interested in hearing the results. Thanks!
