Austin Chamber Speech
Thank you very much Gene for that generous introduction. It’s an honor to be here with you today and I also want to thank the Austin Chamber for hosting this conversation. It’s also great to see some of my colleagues here and also so many friendly faces.
But today among many friends, I wanted to more informally share some thoughts.
League of Women Voters Speech
It’s great to be with you tonight. It’s an exciting time at City Hall. For the first time, each of ten new council districts has their own special and community voice.
I want to take a moment to acknowledge the work that all of you and the League of Women Voters did in passing our new system of government, 10-ONE. Your support of both this new system, and our independent citizens’ redistricting committee, has led us to today. Look around this room and please take a moment to give yourselves a hand.
It’s an honor to be here at the 23rd Annual State of the City Dinner as the representative of the new council, as the ONE in 10-ONE.
