* Budget Commitments: I commit to voting for line-items supporting within the Austin Public Health budget dedicated to AAPI community health navigators and language translation. Furthermore, I will advocate for equity-based budgeting matrices across all city departments so that municipal service expansions automatically reflect demographic growth in Central Texas.

* Ensuring Quality Access Regardless of Income or Address:

    * Support for Central Health & MAP: I will work closely with Travis County’s healthcare district (Central Health) to expand the Medical Access Program (MAP) and MAP Basic. This provides low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women with comprehensive preventative primary care to avoid crisis, specialized gynecological services, cancer screenings, and maternal care.

* Critical Services Needed:

    * Language Access & Navigation: I had the pleasure of helping AAPI seniors to their doctors appointments and I see how expanding full-language translation and interpretation services across municipal departments (Austin Public Health, Housing, and Emergency Management) can aid.

We must directly support Community Health Workers (CHWs) and navigators—such as those operating through the Austin Asian Community Health Initiative (AACHI)—to bridge healthcare system complexities for limited English proficiency (LEP) residents.

* Critical Services Needed:

    * Culturally Attuned Mental Healthcare: Supporting and Investing in community-based mental health initiatives, suicide prevention programs, and senior support networks tailored to AAPI cultural contexts to eliminate stigma and improve access (Drive A Senior) a non profit supports this initiative and appreciate volunteers, as I have volunteered with them.

* Critical Services Needed:

    * AAPI Community & Cultural Space: Prioritizing support, funding resources , capital investments and operational funding for the Asian American Resource Center (AARC) expansion to ensure our community has dedicated programming, senior care, and youth development hubs.

    * Reproductive & Maternal Health Grants: I support allocating municipal funds toward family planning, prenatal care, prevention support to avoid crisis, contraception, cervical and breast cancer screenings, and maternal mental health support. Please see my website for details on support for brighter futures. ( As seen on my link in bio on tikok @farrahabraham and Social Media.

    * Protections for Patients and Providers: I will defend municipal resolutions that protect women and healthcare providers that put humanity first, ensuring that Austin remains a safe haven for comprehensive medical care support to avoid crisis. Men are equally looked at not just women and providers, it takes two to tango, to truly support women and providers you must hold men accountable and have equality in the subject.

Legislative & Oversight Steps to Stop Unlawful Stops:

  * Strict APD General Orders: I support and enforce updated APD General Orders that strictly prohibit officers from stopping, detaining, or inquiring about an individual’s immigration status, ensuring officers do not execute arrests solely based on civil/administrative ICE warrants.

  * Supervisory Authorization & Transparency: Requiring mandatory supervisory approval before any notification to federal authorities can occur, alongside robust public reporting. The city manager and police chief must submit quarterly audit reports tracking all immigration-related inquiries and federal requests.

  * Know Your Rights & Legal Defense: I will champion continued municipal funding for the City's Equity & Inclusion Human Rights Division and local legal defense funds. This ensures multilingual "Know Your Rights" materials (in Vietnamese, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Burmese, etc.) are distributed so residents know they never have to consent to unlawful searches or questioning.

Supports police rules barring immigration-status inquiries and arrests based solely on civil or administrative Immigration and Customs Enforcement warrants.

Calls for supervisory approval before police notify federal authorities and quarterly public audits of immigration-related inquiries and requests.

Austin has 50+ data centers bringing vital tech, trade, and engineering jobs to District 5. I support smart development with strict water protections: mandating closed-loop dry cooling systems that eliminate water waste, expanding reclaimed water networks, and requiring large facilities to protect municipal drinking water. We can grow our economy while preserving vital natural resources. All infrastructure and details below for all answers on economic development.
