MEET LIZ

Blue collar. Bat city. Straight talk.

Liz Brink was born and raised in District 5 — back when the drive down South Congress still felt like a small town and you knew the folks at the hardware store by name. She never left, and she watched every change up close.

Public Services

Housing & Urban Development

Here's the standard Liz will push for.

Staff the shifts

Recruit and retain officers, firefighters and medics with pay and support that competes with every suburb poaching them.

Light it up

Working streetlights, cleared sightlines, safe crossings, and intersections that stop killing people.

The Platform

Clear commitments. No hedging, no jargon, no consultant-speak. Hold her to every one.

Public Safety First

Keep our neighborhoods safe and back the men and women who answer the call — police, fire, and EMS staffed and supported.

Answer the call

Publish 911 and EMS response times by district, every month. If D5 waits longer, D5 hears about it first.

Born and raised in District 5

Liz grew up in South Austin, went to school here, and never left. She has watched District 5 change block by block — the traffic, the tax bills, the response times, the neighbors priced out. She is not running to discover the district. She is running because she already knows it.

What she is running on
Public safety first — staffed, supported police, fire, and EMS.
Fiscal responsibility — limit tax increases and spend like it's your money.
Maintain our city — roads, drainage, and the grid before shiny new projects.
Transparency and accountability — publish the numbers, including response times.
Protect Austin — the character and the neighborhoods that made it home.
People over politics — District 5 residents, not factions.
