It's the first time we're voting for these positions
That sneaky little election you probably haven’t heard much about is coming up fast. Election day is May 4, but early voting starts Monday, April 22. Thanks to legislation advanced by far-right members, this year, for the first time ever, voters across Texas will be asked to elect some of the people who will serve on the obscure oversight boards that play a critical role in the state’s property tax system.
Three candidates in this race were recruited by the Travis County Democratic Party. We’re endorsing them based largely on their commitment to keep appraisals accurate. These Democratic candidates warn that their more conservative opponents could work to manipulate appraisals in ways that would cost Austin ISD dearly, and also impact access to other public services and spaces.
