I’d like to congratulate @Marc4AustinD10 on his win. I look forward to working with you, and pushing you and your staff on housing, transit, and affordability in our district.

Super grateful for @ashikaforaustin and the campaign she and her team ran—it came down to a ~500 vote margin in a district with ~41,000 voters. That’s almost exactly 50% of the district in support of her agenda. She and her team should be super proud. I know I am.
I couldn’t be more proud of this campaign. It was an incredibly close race. The results aren’t what we hoped for, but the work is just beginning. We will continue to fight for an Austin that works for everyone.

Thread. And congrats on your election to the US Senate, @AndyKimNJ.
In 2020 I was one of 7 dems that won a district that Trump won, so I held a series of listening sessions with people who voted for Trump and voted for me to understand their actions. I reread the transcripts yesterday and much of it felt like it could have been said today. THREAD

There is too much hubris in our politics. Too many people who think they have all the answers. Let’s go out and have deep and thoughtful conversations with people. Listen to them. And then earnestly work to address their concerns and rebuild trust. 10/12

I learned never to underestimate the extent to which people distrust and despise politics, especially those that do not engage regularly. 7/12

My election night ritual is late night @Whataburger - usually after midnight. What’s yours?

The faculty at the school I’m poll greeting at noticed I hadn’t had lunch and they’ve been bringing me snacks. A poll worker let me borrow his phone charger. Elections *can* and should be and usually are a reminder that people are actually pretty great. #Election2024

20% of the people that talk to me want to talk about the election and 80% of the people that talk to me want to talk about the Grateful Dead hat and the @deadandcompany shows I’ve been to, which eventually allows me to talk to them about their choices in this election. 💀🌹⚡️

I want to be careful here but today I’m feeling… genuinely optimistic.

My friend Zach is amazing & the replies to this tweet are unhinged. I left the GOP in my twenties—evangelicalism, too—largely because it felt like a movement that would eventually embrace power and money over people. Keep preaching Jesus’ love, Zach. I’m with you on all of this.
