Why We’re For Greg
“A product of Austin public schools and a resident of Austin for four decades, Greg Smith is a thoughtful, analytical servant leader who is running to help save our city,” said Save Austin Now PAC co-founders Matt Mackowiak and Cleo Petricek. “Greg understands the serious standard of living challenges that residents are facing. Unlike outgoing incumbent Kathie Tovo, he will not ignore the serious public safety and homelessness issues facing District 9 residents. If Austinites want to see our city change direction, we must change the people at City Hall and elect problem solvers who will reject extremism on either side. We are confident that Greg Smith will be part of the solution for our city. We ask all Save Austin Now supporters to join us in supporting him in this race.”
“While we will not always agree on everything, I value the input and support of those that are willing to stand up and make change,” said Smith. “An elected leader should represent all perspectives and not just those that they agree with. I am honored to have the support of Save Austin Now for exactly that reason. There is a changing of the tides coming and it is time for a moderate candidate with the experience required to lead us to an Austin that enables us to live up to our incredible potential. The endorsement of save Austin now is recognition that leadership matters.”
