Over two dozen community groups in Austin have endorsed Laura Morrison for Austin City Council Place 4. Today we add our name to that list.
Early Vote starts today and we are encouraging our Austin readers to join the Austin Chronicle, Austin American Statesman, Democratic Clubs, Austin environmental groups, Better Austin Today, and the Austin Neighborhoods Council in supporting Laura Morrison.
Morrison has shown she can lead; with her years as the President of the Austin neighborhoods Council she earned the respect from friends and foes alike. She leads by earning people's respect and getting them involved in the discussion. She has the professional background in mathematics and more recently Public Health Disaster management to bring to a new voice to the city.
She has quietly built a network of support with her advocacy for open government and government accountability, while working to protect the voice of Austin Neighborhoods and Democrats.
She has put together a broad coalition, winning 27 endorsements across the community, virtually every democratic club, almost every African American and Hispanic group endorsing, and environmental and neighborhood groups.
She has proven she can organize by building the team to put progressive ideals successfully before the voters. While her opponent is focused primarily on development outside of town, Laura's top concern is protecting the quality of life of the people living here today.
She has quietly played a leading role in dozens of important community efforts including Save Town Lake, Helping to East Austin neighborhoods to organize to protect their neighborhoods, and many more.
Morrison is a proven leader and strong advocate for Austin. As the Early Vote begins, we encourage you to vote for Laura Morrison for Austin City Council Place 4.
