As climate shocks will continue to occur with greater frequency and intensity, Texas must continue to invest in community preparedness to save lives and reduce recovery costs and to help support more sustainable, resilient communities.
I will prioritize:
- Ensuring a reliable, safe, and sustainable water supply for current and future residents and investing the voter-approved $20 billion on environmentally sustainable water infrastructure solutions
- Emergency preparedness, including warning systems for floods and fires and financial support to create community resilience hubs
- Investments in multimodal transportation solutions
- Continued focus on improving reliability of Texas power grid
- Fending off legislative attacks on Austin’s municipally-owned utility
