🛑 I refuse to run a negative campaign! 🛑

Instead, I produced a strong platform of action items based on 10 years of District 4 advocacy, knowing the issues, hearing your concerns.

✅ I helped protect zoning on Rundberg Ln., while asking City to focus on N. Lamar

✅ Advocated that the Project Connect Orange Line would serve N. Lamar, at least to Rundberg

✅ Organized neighbors and APD numerous times to address public safety issues

I want to work for you at City Hall, but I will not run a negative campaign to win your vote. I humbly ask for you to vote for the candidate with a consistent history of proactively working on all District 4 issues.

Thank you to the The Austin Bulldog for this in-depth review - and the personal comments from folks I've worked with over the years!

"If she wins, Schiera says that her priorities as a council member would be increasing affordable housing in District 4, Project Connect implementation—including extension of the Orange Line up North Lamar to Tech Ridge—and working with the Austin Police Department to address public safety issues.

She also wants to create an create a multi-family/affordable housing commission, inventory all abandoned vehicles in the district and expedite the removal process, support Housing First initiatives, and create a multilingual platform for community outreach."
