“D1 has waited long enough.”

"Staff have reportedly been playing 'constituent bingo' — mocking the very people they're supposed to serve. This isn't disrespectful. It's a symptom of a deeper problem: leadership that doesn't listen."

— Reported by KXAN News

District 1 Deserves to Be Heard

While hardworking District 1 residents take time off work to speak at City Council meetings, their voices have been met with mockery instead of action. Our neighbors deserve better than a leadership that treats them as a punchline.

District 1 needs a council member who shows up, listens, and fights — not one who looks the other way when staff demean the community they're paid to serve.

What Steven will fight for

Five priorities for District 1

Housing affordability

Keep long-term residents, renters and seniors in the community they built instead of pricing them out.

Workers and economic justice

Living wages on city contracts, local hiring, and tax policy that puts D1 working families first.

Education, youth and families

Real city dollars into D1 schools, parks, libraries and after-school programs.

Environmental justice and safe neighborhoods

Lower crime, police accountability, clean water and more tree canopy.

Transportation that works

Safer streets, connected sidewalks and transit you can count on.

Four pillars, five priorities, and how Steven will get them done.

A lifelong East Austin resident who shows up

I was born and raised right here in East Austin — a lifelong resident of District 1. I attended Norman Elementary, Blanton Elementary, Maplewood Elementary, Kealing Middle School, and LBJ High School, and graduated from Austin Community College, Huston-Tillotson University, and Texas State University, where I'm currently pursuing my Master of Science degree.
