The Platform
Six commitments. No hedging, no jargon, no consultant-speak. Hold her to every one.
Fiscal Responsibility
Limit tax increases. Spend wisely. Taxpayer dollars are not unlimited, and D5 families feel every hike.
Maintain Our City
Fix our roads, our drainage, our grid. Deliver the essential services we already pay for before chasing shiny new ones.
Transparency & Accountability
Independent audits. Strong oversight. Clear reporting and measurable results you can actually look up.
Protect Austin
Preserve our parks, greenbelts, waterways, and the natural beauty that made people fall in love with this town.
People Over Politics
Decisions made for Austinites — not special interests, not political donors, not somebody's next office.
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.
She earned her master electrician license the hard way: apprenticeship, journeyman hours, code books, and a lot of attics in August. That work teaches you three things — read the plan, respect the code, and never leave a job half-finished. City Hall could use all three.
Weekends you will find her on the Harley, running the back roads out of D5 and coming home to the bats lifting off the bridge at dusk. That's the Austin she's fighting for: the weird, tough, beautiful one that still works for the people who built it.
"I'm running to restore trust, bring common-sense leadership to District 5, and build an Austin that works for everyone."
Together, we can protect what makes Austin special.
Austin on the Brink
Public safety is not a talking point in D5 — it's response times, staffed shifts, lit streets, and a 911 call that gets answered. 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.
Answer the call
Publish 911 and EMS response times by district, every month. If D5 waits longer, D5 hears about it first.
Light it up
Working streetlights, cleared sightlines, safe crossings, and intersections that stop killing people.
Join the roll call
This is a neighbor-to-neighbor campaign. No machine, no consultants, no donor list calling the shots. Pick a lane and email Liz directly — she reads them herself.
