Is Getting Crowded Updated May 12
No, the list of candidates for the new 10 1 City Council isn t as crowded as I 35 rush hour it s just starting to look that way. The number of candidates who have filed campaign treasurer despatagonia better sweater reviewsignations with the City Clerk the first official step toward patagonia clothing qualityformal candidacy hit 40 as of Monday morning, and the overall list of candidates seriously considering a run continues clpatagonia better sweater reviews2imbing. For the mayoral race alone, there are now officially four possibly five candidates in the mix, and another 50 or more gathering around the district campfires.
We offer in these pages a first full overview of the 10 1 candidates and districts, hoping to provide some sense of the overall campaign landscape (Note: updated May 12). It s certainly true that each of the 10 districts is more comprehensible than a city of more than 800patagonia fleece discount,000 people; at the same time, a district of 80,000 is a small city in itself. We hope that these brief demographic and geographic breakdowns help readers (and prospective voters) get a more precise sense of where they fit into the overall dynamic Austin tapestry.
As for the candidates, the mayor s race offers a snapshot of the range of the entire group: a prominent attorney, an incumbent council member and former firefighter, a musician and businessman, and an airline mechanic/businessman with another council member/CPA potentially in the wings.

But it s still early, and the fields remain wide open. There s been a flurry of treasurer filings of late, probably related to the fact that the money season when candidates can begin soliciting and spending other people s money begins May 8, 180 days out from the Nov. 4 election. (We had earlier reported May 4 in error; apologies to all concerned.) And make no mistake it takes money to underwrite a successful political campaign, even under Austin s restrictive campaign finance laws. There is also a flurry of campaign kickoffs in the next few weeks; look to your dipatagonia better sweater reviews3strict candidates to let you know when you can meet and greet your would be municipal representatives.
The actual filing period is quite a ways off July 21 to August 18 and Oct. 20 marks the first day of in person early voting. The candidate landscape is likely to change quite a bit between now and August, and we ll try valiantly to keepatagonia better sweater reviews1p you updated. But all in alpatagonia better sweater reviews0l, the new City Council era is offering an early explosion of public interest, and we certainly hope it will continue into the November (and likely December) voting booths.
