Austin City Council, District 3
I'm Brock Skinner — a Dallas native who came to Austin twelve years ago to build a life and a career. I'm running to bring accountability, public safety, and fiscal common sense to District 3.

The plan
Our officers can make arrests and put dangerous individuals in the system, but without prosecution and consequences, the same people cycle back onto our streets. We need accountability at every level to break the cycle and make Austin safer.
District 3 families depend on buses to get to work, school, and appointments. Riders deserve transit that is clean, on time, and safe at every stop along the route.
New projects get ribbon cuttings, but neglected streets, bridges, and utilities cost us more every year. We must take care of what we own before taking on new debt.
Austin's rapid expansion has stretched our streets, utilities, and emergency services past their limits. Growth is good, but only if our city is equipped to handle it. New development must bring the infrastructure and services our neighborhoods need before—not after—the strain hits.
Property tax bills keep climbing while working families feel left behind. The city must tighten its belt and push every available dollar back to taxpayers.
Every dollar spent should earn the public's trust. An independent audit and clear, accessible spending reports are the first steps toward real accountability.
Austin's camping ban was restored because residents demanded safe public spaces and compassion with boundaries. The law must be enforced consistently and paired with real outreach so encampments don't simply move from one block to another.
Public safety starts with the men and women who answer the call. Our police and fire departments must be fully staffed, competitively paid, and equipped with the resources they need to protect District 3.
Austin summers are getting longer and our infrastructure is older. Resilience shouldn't depend on your zip code.
The taquerias, record shops, and family clinics along our corridors are the district's economy. They need a city that works at their speed.
