Citing her commitment to the community, and leadership on issues such as affordable housing and environmental sustainability, Austin City Councilman Bill Spelman has endorsed Travis County Commissioner Margaret Gómez for re-election.

“When I ran for Austin City Council last year, Margaret Gómez was one of the first to endorse me. I’m very happy to return the favor,” Spelman said. “Margaret provides Travis County with practical leadership on bread-and-butter issues like taxes, infrastructure, affordable housing, and public safety. She’s also been a joy to work with for 16 years, and I look forward to working with her for another term.”

“Bill Spelman has been a great progressive voice on the Austin City Council and I am proud to have his support,” Gómez said. “He has also been an advocate for my constituents in southeast Travis County and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with him.”

Spelman becomes the third current elected official, after Travis County Judge Sam Biscoe and Constable Richard McCain, to endorse Gómez’s re-election. They are the only three current elected officials to have endorsed in the Travis County Commissioner Precinct 4 primary.

Thank you to Councilman Spelman for his support!
