(Community Matters) While leading in the polls the Austin American Statesman endorsement represents an undeniable win for Mayor Pro Tem Brewster McCracken in the close race for mayor
. . . . we believe McCracken, 43, has the vision and leadership to move Austin forward and urge voters to elect him the next mayor.
McCracken has a plan for the future that calls for investment in clean energy and biotech and digital businesses. He has helped lead the Pecan Street Project, which is working to attract clean-energy business to Austin. He is vigorously pursuing the next step in Austin’s future.
McCracken has a broad view of what Austin needs and how City Hall should manage in a budget crunch.
Also, similarly big win for Chris Riley for city council member
Riley has more experience and we believe is ready for the City Council. Cavazos has a good career ahead of her and with a bit more seasoning will be an even better candidate.
