Thank you to FixAustin for once again compiling the City Council Candidates’ answers to questionnaires and at the candidate forum and producing this guide.
Each year, volunteers for FixAustin.org comb through City Council candidate questionnaires, ask candidates tough questions, and debate the candidates’ responses and records in order to create an Animal Welfare Voter Information Guide for Austin citizens interested in animal-welfare issues. This year, Council Member Mike Martinez stood out with our highest ever Five+ Paws rating for his continued excellence and leadership in making Austin, Texas, America’s safest large city to be a homeless animal. Newcomer Dominic Chavez also impressed us. Here’s our take on this year’s slate of candidates.
Please check out their ratings before heading to the polls! Early voting has already begun and the election is Saturday, May 12th.

The news said it is down to the last day to save our wonderful lost and
abused pets. I understand tomorrow you will be out with your adopted animals
and I would like to know have they had their shots? Or are they in need of
shots , spaying or neutering ? Please email the location tomorrow in San Marcos and times . We are interested in enlarging our family.
Thank you. April Fowser
