| Only one candidate can make the claim that they have picked up every endorsement since the March 10th filing deadline-- Laura Morrison.
The Morrison campaign has picked up the endorsement of the Sierra Club, Central Labor Council, Better Austin Today PAC, Austin Lesbian Gay Political Caucus, Stonewall Democrats and North by Northwest Democrats.
Pretty striking argument for momentum in a low turnout election. Unlike the March 4th election, turnout should be closer to 50 to 60 thousand voters. In addition to strong Democratic support, no other candidate running for City Council can make a clear momentum claim.
The race for place 1 and 3 have split organizational endorsements pretty evenly and Wednesday club meetings could be a big day to solidify momentum or create some depending on the position. |
