  • Let's win economic justice for working families.
  • Let's fix our power grid and create a sustainable world for all.

2016

Casar's 2016 campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Fight to get off the list of most segregated cities in AmericaThe Martin Prosperity Institute recently put our metropolitan area at the top of their segregated cities list. In Greg’s first term in office, he led on over a dozen housing initiatives to fight back against this ranking. In his next term Greg will work every day to make sure these new initiatives make us the integrated, inclusive city that Austinites want to be a part of.

Make Austin and District 4 the Capital of OpportunityDistrict 4 is full of creative talent, entrepreneurial working-class and middle-class families, and plenty of schoolkids. We’re the future of Austin. But too often, we don’t have the sort of support and infrastructure to capitalize on our strengths. New initiatives like Austin Community College’s new campus at the Highland Mall and Family Resource Centers located at more of North Austin’s schools can make sure that our residents get to be an integral part of Austin’s prosperity. We can support these initiatives and others, including new local business districts, after school programming, and cultural and social services hubs.

Push back against misguided state leadershipOur statewide elected leadership is hurting Austinites. Instead of properly funding our schools, setting up a fair taxing system, or supporting public transportation, our state leadership has made noise over bathroom bills. In the wake of a dysfunctional Congress and misguided state leadership, it’s our job as a progressive city to come up with solutions. We should support new city funding for programs that support schoolkids, workplace protections for our community, and a better taxing and appraisal system that puts less of the burden on working families and seniors.

Build transportation infrastructure for our futureWe need to make major investments in our transportation infrastructure. Greg believes that in the coming years, we need to make over a billion dollars in new investments in sidewalks, crosswalks, major road improvements, separated bicycle tracks, and public transportation. This November, Greg’s supporting a mobility bond on the ballot to get us moving in the right direction. You can read more about it here:http://getaustinmoving.com/[7][8]

2014

Casar's 2014 campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Focus on education first: The research is clear: investing in Pre-K, summer school, and afterschool programs enriches our kids and saves money in the long run. It’s time for our City to focus on our kids first.

Create public spaces we’re proud of: Vacant and underutilized tracts of land, like behind the old Home Depot at I-35 and St. John, should be North Austin’s next swimming pools, playgrounds, and plazas.

Rebuild the Middle Class: The ladder of opportunity is what made our city great in the first place. Let’s work together to create living wage jobs, support our local workforce, and grow our small businesses. I’m committed to making sure that Austinites can afford to live in Austin.

Make our streets safe: We can and we must fight the root causes of crime as a community. I’m for effective criminal diversion programs, funding mental health care, and creating a City of Austin ID card for those who don’t have access to driver licenses.

Ensure family-friendly housing: As your representative at City Hall, I’ll work with landlords to get problem properties in District 4 under control. We can improve our aging housing and infrastructure by training our local unemployed to do the job, while keeping down utility bills and the rent.

Make City Hall for all: Even if it takes setting up in someone’s living room, I’ll office in our district instead of staying cooped up at City Hall. I’ll also work to be sure that City Council meetings are translated into the languages our neighbors speak.[9][8]
