DePalma SWATX Community Updates

The last day of early vote is over and I am just leaving the Randall’s parking lot after spending much time here over the last two weeks. It has been an exhausting week but to see Austinites in an incredibly long 2.5 hour line on a Friday night just swells my heart with pride in our city and democracy. Thank you SW Austin!

Last day to Early Vote! Don’t wait until Election Day, unless you like long lines. Come out, see us, and cast your ballot! 🗳

As the first week of early voting ends, I'm reminded that this campaign has always been about the best representation for Southwest families. That’s why, Tali, my campaign manager, and I voted with our families. Because it’s not just my family I’m fighting for, but for every single Southwest Austin family who hasn’t felt represented at City Hall. I hope to have your support. Early voting ends on November 2.

Had a fantastic time celebrating TreeFolks tonight with friends, who also happen to be my colleagues. Our green spaces—from Dick Nichols, the Greenbelt, to Barton Springs—are a big part of what makes this city special. Now more than ever, we need to protect and champion our environment. I’m proud of the work we’ve done at TreeFolks, and I’m proud of the folks I’ve worked with to get it done.
