LPAC Featured in the Austin Monitor
State Rep. Celia Israel, candidate for Mayor of Austin and LPAC endorsee, was recently profiled by Sean Saldaña of the Austin Monitor.
From the piece:
With the passage of Austin’s GRACE Act, an ordinance that seeks to decriminalize abortion in the city, it became clear that Celia Israel was positioning herself as the progressive choice for mayor. At the press conference announcing the ordinance’s passage, Israel stood beside Mayor Steve Adler, most of City Council and state Reps. James Talarico, Sheryl Cole and Gina Hinojosa. She was even given the opportunity to speak, saying, “We’re not just alarmed, we’re not just indignant, we’re angry. We’re awoke. Our claws are out and we’re ready to fight.”
Her progressivism is reflected in her endorsements so far, both in number and prominence. They include the LGBTQ Victory Fund; the Latino Victory Fund; LPAC, an organization that seeks to put LGBTQ women in office; U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro; Travis County Attorney Delia Garza; state Rep. Vikki Goodwin; state Rep. Donna Howard; and former Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvoir.
