Why I'm Running
Austin needs fiscal responsibility
We need fiscal responsibility on the Council. The Council oversees a $5.5 Billion dollar budget and influences major projects like Project Connect and Finding Home ATX. I’ve managed budgets and projects, run a business, and believe what actually works – not what sounds good.
District 10 Needs a Voice
We need to change the culture at City Hall so that we listen to people – not just donors or special interests. That also means listening to their concerns: about safety, mobility, fire and flood mitigation, and other issues that fail to get the full attention of Council.
City Hall Needs Experience
We need experience on Council. More than some work and advocacy experience, but experience with budgets, experience serving others in the community, experience working with people with different ideas and backgrounds, and experience solving problems.
Meet Marc
I’m a UT graduate who has lived in District 10 for 23 years and served in a variety of community and volunteer roles. I’m running for City Council to continue that service, to address the challenges from the legacy of policies we’ve inherited, and to bring years of fiscal experience, management, and problem-solving skills to the Council.
What I’ve done:
- Served on local boards and volunteered in the community for almost a decade
- Managed million-dollar+ campaigns, projects, and budgets
- Founded and run a business that analyzes and leverages data to support grass-roots civic engagement
- Helped oversee a community of Austin homeowners and residents
- Earned a BA in Government and an MBA in Entrepreneurship
My journey into local politics started in 2015 when I joined my homeowner’s association board, which supports a community of several hundred homeowners and residents and currently manages an approx. $750,000 budget. Like City Council, boards like ours manage land use issues, maintenance and infrastructure issues, fire & flood safety, code enforcement and violations, safety issues, and many other challenges.
I’m also no stranger to challenges, having overcome cancer and managed other health challenges while continuing to run a small business and advocate for my community. Our district will be losing an experienced council member next year and we will need someone with perseverance and real-world understanding of politics, issues, budgets, technology, and working across political divisions to succeed.
I am dedicated to collaborative problem-solving and impactful leadership. With a track record of bringing diverse voices together, I am committed to building a strong, inclusive community where every voice matters and every concern is addressed. I’ll leverage my extensive experience and policy expertise to deliver real results, so District 10 thrives in a balanced and sustainable way. Let’s work towards creating a brighter future for D10 and Austin!
