Fellow Austinites,
We're off to a great start!
 Our campaign kickoff in January had over 200 people at Scholz Garten. Last week, we conducted our first volunteer block-walk and also hosted our first house party in the Circle C neighborhood. And to top things off, we just won the Central Labor Council endorsement.
Thanks to all our supporters who have helped make this campaign a success!
Now let's keep the momentum going. You're invited to participate in the first of our series of community town halls to discuss some of the central issues facing our great city. Come share your ideas and be a part of the solution. Over the next few months, we'll discuss the following issues:
* February 21: Neighborhoods, Public Participation & Open Government
* March 7: Economy & Budget
* April 4: Affordability & Social Services
Our first town hall is next Saturday. I look forward to meeting with you personally to get your feedback regarding how to best improve Austin.
COMMUNITY TOWN HALL
"Neighborhoods, Public Participation and Open Government"
Saturday, February 21
10:00 a.m. - Noon
Will Hampton Library
5125 Convict Hill Rd
Austin, TX 78749
In this era of new responsibility, meaningful citizen participation in local government is crucial to making a city that works for everyone. President Obama has inspired millions across the country to believe in their ability to bring change, and now we need to apply that same can-do spirit to the local level.
