The two races for the Austin City Council that were not determined in November will be settled in Tuesday s runoff elections – and the results will be the latest testament to how the city s progressive movement on public safety and homelessness is playing with voters.
To this point, no council member has lost an election since the council approved cuts to the police department s budget this summer and repealed the city s public camping ban last summer. Leslie Pool and Greg Casar cruised to reelection in November, and Delia Garza will be the next Travis County attorney after winning the Democratic primary and running unopposed in the general election.
