Dear Friends,
In the beginning of our campaign for Austin City Council I set out to highlight issues close to my heart. Our campaign ran our best race and took 3rd.
While it’s not the outcome we hoped for, I’m sincerely moved by the community’s generous support. After the general election I took time to look back over the campaign process and to thank those who believed in and supported me. Now it’s time to focus on the runoff election.
During our campaign I mentioned a few times that I do agree with Council Member Renteria on many issues and appreciated all the work he had accomplished in his first term, but I was running to offer a different voice and a unique perspective on Council.
Since the election I have spoken at length with Pio and his team to discuss the important issues facing our district and I’m confident that in this runoff Pio is the right choice.
I believe Pio is the only candidate that will represent every part of District 3. He’s the only candidate capable and ready to tackle District 3’s biggest challenges. His history as an activist, community leader, and life-long Austinite makes him my choice for our district.
This is why I am officially endorsing Pio Renteria for District 3.
The District 3 runoff is underway. Early voting ends this Friday at 7PM and Election day is December 11th.
Sincerely,
Jessica Cohen
