I was at the transportation forum, so I wasn't able to make this one. Were there any interesting questions asked or responses received during q/a?

It's good to see Robin get a club endorsement. He's too good of a candidate to get shut out.

CCYD participated in the forum at Gardner-Betts along with SAD, CAAAD, CAPD, and TED. As with the March primary endorsements, CCYD has chosen to hold their endorsement elections at the regular meeting immediately following candidate forums.

Two South Austin candidates endorsed (0.00 / 0)

Hopefully some members of the Capital City Young Democrats, that also live in South Austin, will join the South Austin Democrats. Then maybe the South Austin Democrats could actually support atleast on candidate from South Austin in the next City Council elections in 2009. SAD's current party line (endorsements) would result in no council members from South Austin serving on the city council when the new and re-elected members are sworn in during June of 2008.
