We love Austin so much!

Six of the eleven city council seats are up for election this year, allowing for a substantial overhaul of our City Government.

Donate to Austin United and we’ll use every dime to elect people you can trust with our future.

Austin United is supporting candidates who will:

  • Fund real climate, water, heat island, flooding, and biodiversity solutions.

  • Implement affordability policies that don’t accelerate displacement and gentrification.

  • Maintain parks for residents, rather than giving them away to private interests.

  • Support the unhoused with what they need, rather than overspending on consultants.

  • Fully fund and compensate emergency first responders and disaster preparation recovery.

  • Champion government transparency and honest public engagement.

Austin United has one goal:

Replace our council now.

The current City Council is wrecking what makes Austin special at an alarming pace.

Many say it feels like the worst city council in decades.

This council refuses to listen to the community - focusing instead on implementing solutions that have failed in other cities benefiting only real estate speculators.

The careful balance between neighborhoods, environmentalists, and business interests has disappeared.

We Need Your Help

Local Austin elections often come down to just a few hundred votes—or even tie-breakers. Your donation directly supports efforts to raise awareness, engage voters, and amplify the voices of candidates who prioritize the needs of our community. Every dollar helps ensure that we elect leaders who are committed to improving Austin for all of us.

FAQs

We value transparency above anything else. If you have a question not answered, please email us at info@austinunitedpac.com and we will be happy to answer!

  • A PAC, or Political Action Committee, is a group in U.S. politics that raises money to help support or oppose candidates, laws, or political causes during elections.

    Here's how it works:

    1. Raising Money: People, companies, or organizations give money to the PAC. The PAC then uses this money to support candidates they like or to oppose candidates they don't agree with.

    2. Helping Candidates or Causes: The PAC can spend money on things like TV ads, flyers, or events to help certain candidates get elected or to promote laws or ideas that they believe in.

    3. Rules: PACs have to follow certain rules about how much money they can raise and how they can spend it.

  • All donations are going to support candidates who will:

    • Stop the sell-outs and back room deals at City Hall.

    • Give us transparent, honest government.

    • Deliver protections for our trees, parks, and water - not green washing.

    • Create affordability for residents, not speculators.

    • Some examples include:  

    Austin Chronicle paper ad for our full slate of candidates (look here on page 17)

    Community Impact ad (look here) for Carmen Llanes Pulido 

    Billboard/large median signs for Carmen Llanes Pulido

    And many others!

    • The 5 candidates we support today have all met these criteria and have been grassroots activists in Austin we know well and trust.  

  • Yes!  You can make a difference!  Did you know Kirk Watson won the mayoral race in 2022 with just 900 votes?  And it was even less for individual council member races.  Think about that.  We potentially just need to make 900 people aware of what the Austin City Council does and what is at stake in this election.  United, we can do that!
