Just wanted to let the members of the BOR Community know that my campaign has begun airing our first television ads. I hope you'll take a moment to watch...
If something can be done better, shouldn't it be done better?
Today, my campaign released a new video entitled, "We Can Do Better." In the video, which you can watch below, I discuss reforming the criminal justice system in Travis County to better reflect our values and beliefs.
If you are like most people, the thought of someone spending the night--or a week or a month--in jail for a crime they did not commit is abhorrent to you. It certainly is to me.
Although many folks here in Travis County are already familiar with me and my campaign, I wanted to share with you a video that was produced for my campaign launch earlier this month that tells a little more about me and my beliefs about the justice system.

If you haven't seen the ads our campaign ran in the Austin Chronicle and The Villager this week-and if you haven't, you can see the ad here-let me tell you what our campaign is doing that has everyone talking.
We're asking you, the voters of Travis County, what you believe would make the administration of justice better in Travis County. What ideas or innovations would you propose to help bring about justice that works for everyone if YOU had the chance? Please take a moment and tell us.
Once you've had a chance to do that, I encourage you to take a few more minutes and take our brief online survey about the justice system in Travis County.
What you think-and your ideas-are very important to me and to this campaign. In a system of government such as ours, we need to listen to what citizens have to say and not just brush it off, but rather take action and welcome good, new ideas. As I prepare to make my final decision on whether or not to file for a place on the March primary ballot, your input is critical.
Together, I believe we can bring reform and change to the criminal justice system in Travis County and bring about justice that works for everyone.
