We Endorse Esala Wueschner for District 3 (East & South Austin)
Get out and vote for Esala, an inspiring U.S. Air Force veteran, who served at Laughlin AFB. He grew up poor in Sri Lanka before legally immigrating to the U.S. where he learned English. He works in tech here in Austin and understands the issues young residents are facing.
“I want to thank Save Austin Now for their support,” said Wueschner. “We all want to improve standard of living for every Austin resident. I am running for City Council in District 3 to increase transparency, communication, and prioritize affordability.”
Why We’re For Esala
“Esala Wueschner is the only candidate in District 3 who understands how serious the problems are facing our city,” said Save Austin Now PAC co-founders Matt Mackowiak and Cleo Petricek. “Of all the candidates running, he is the only one who has pledged to oppose the ‘Housing First’ policy approach on homelessness that San Francisco has championed (and Austin has embraced with failing results for the past three years). Esala is a U.S. Air Force veteran, who served at Laughlin AFB. He grew up poor in Sri Lanka before legally immigrating to the U.S. where he learned English. He works in tech here in Austin and understands the issues young residents are facing. He wants to reverse the unconscionable 40% pay increase for the mayor and the city council, reduce property taxes for small businesses, use audits to protect taxpayers and ensure core services are provided, and ban out-of-state contributions to local candidates. We are asking every Save Austin Now supporter to vote for and directly support Esala in this crucial race.”
