“We can do better. … I know
firsthand what hard work, cooperation and common sense can
do. We have to do better, working together, to plan for our
future or someone else will plan it for us. I will stand up
for Travis County with a transportation plan that is right
for us, with consistent land use management that encourages
the development of a healthy economy and healthy
communities, with health care policies that promote mental
and physical wellness, with legal and law enforcement
communities that promote justice through cooperation. … I
want to lead us into a well-planned future we all can share.
… I will use my training, experience and relationships to
build a proactive, innovative and responsive county
government for the people of Travis County.”
Residence:
Austin
Hometown: Houston
Parents: the
late Congressman Bob Eckhardt
and memoirist Nadine
Eckhardt
Philosophy:
“My parents instilled in my sisters, brother and me an
admiration
for what good government
can do for all of us. They taught us that
good government comes
from listening to the people most directly
involved in an issue
while never forgetting the ones who cannot
speak for themselves.
Through their example, I learned that
elective office is not a
career but a temporary trust lent out to one
among us willing to
stand up for all of us.”
