July 25, 20205 yr The Chronicle just published some info on the council races and the cash that the candidates have raised. https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2020-07-24/as-council-campaigns-begin-the-cash-rolls-in/ “In far Northwest Austin's D6, likely the most conservative Council district, a semi-famous right-wing challenger to unabashed progressive Jimmy Flannigan would seem like a threat. But so far, fundraising doesn't support that idea; Flannigan raised $68,154 and has $60,057 in available cash as the race heats up. His colleagues Natasha Harper-Madison, Paige Ellis, and Ann Kitchen all contributed, along with former CMs Betty Dunkerley and Chris Riley. Planning Commissioners Conor Kenny and Fayez Kazi, along with urbanist advocate Dan Keshet, also contributed, reflecting Flannigan's alignment with urbanists despite representing a mostly suburban district. State Rep. John Bucy, who represents the Williamson County portion of Flannigan's council district, also donated. Flannigan challenger Mackenzie Kelly, who ran for D6 in the great 10-1 Blitz of 2014 (she finished fifth in a six-way race), has pulled in just $19,056, although she only appointed a treasurer in early May. In 2014, Kelly gained national notoriety for her support of Gamergate – the online harassment campaign waged by mostly white males against women in the industry. This time, she's focusing on homelessness, where she's been a constant critic of the Council. Now that Save Austin Now's initiative to roll back Council's decriminalization efforts may end up on the November ballot, Kelly's campaign could gain some steam. Her fellow Council critics Susan Spataro and Sharon Blythe have contributed, along with Don Zimmerman, who narrowly beat Flannigan in that 2014 race but lost the rematch in 2016. (He actually did run in the SD 14 special election, placing third, after also placing third in March's GOP primary for House District 47.)”
July 25, 20205 yr Author She's really fucking lucky that Flannigan is not the type to leak her photos or anything. Edit: Then again, it may win her some votes, you never know with that crowd. Edited July 25, 20205 yr by atomheartbevo

Edit: Then again, it may win her some votes, you never know with that crowd. She would totally turn that into playing the victim card, while also making it a redemption story and about how the power of Jesus and the Republican Party made her a better person. Digging into the past would be a campaign mistake.
July 25, 20205 yr The way the world is functioning right now, it is inevitable that she wins and no on here will have to lift a finger to make it so.
July 25, 20205 yr She'd be utterly powerless on the council so it would be nothing but great entertainment. It'd be like if she posted in the CR.
July 25, 20205 yr Because in a time of pandemic, we need a Harvard Distance Edumacated Disaster Scientist to show us the best practices in a pandemic. Who is the blonde with the rack?

It would sum up everything that has gone wrong in Austin over the last 20 years. We somehow escaped the idiot running for State Board of Education, that wanted teen girls to be taught how to pole dance in high school, so at some point we will cream on the pied piper or something. Wait, wrong analogies.

July 26, 20205 yr Author Oh cool, I didn't know cops sat around in neighborhoods with car break-ins, waiting to tell us there were car break-ins. "These are crimes that can be preventable." Yeah, no, that's not how "break-ins" work, as a break-in is a crime, regardless of whether they got your Milli Vanilli CD or nothing at all.
