Thank you to Jeremy Shirk for hosting last night’s Cherry Creek Meet & Greet & to everyone who came out for an evening of food and conversation. I heard loud & clear from residents that they want much more transparency & accountability on city spending. Will be a top priority!

David Weinberg @davidforatx.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Serving District 5 starts with listening and following through, every day. From neighborhood concerns to the bigger issues affecting Austin, I’ll keep my door open and your priorities at the center of my work. #DavidForATX #AustinTX #District5 #ATXCouncil #ConstituentService

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our South Menchaca Meet & Greet on Saturday, and special thanks to Missy Bledsoe for hosting us. Meeting and hearing directly from D5 residents is what this campaign is all about, and I'm looking forward to many more as we head toward 11/3!

I attended an important and sobering meeting of D5 parents to discuss how we can try to avoid a state takeover of Austin Schools, and what actions to take if it happens. I am strongly opposed to a TEA takeover and stand with parents in their fight for Austin’s public schools.

When Austin families are counting every dollar, government should too. At a time when affordability is one of the biggest challenges facing our city, Austin taxpayers deserve to know their money is being spent responsibly. I will bring that accountability to District 5. #DavidForATX

My new ad highlights why accountability at City Hall matters, especially when so many Austin families are feeling the pressure of rising costs. I’ll fight to make Austin more affordable and ensure taxpayer dollars are treated with the respect they deserve. Watch the full ad here:

The proposed Tract 110 development raises an important citywide issue about representation and accountability. Residents deserve to have their concerns heard and responded to. As your District 5 Council member I would prioritize responsiveness and an open-door policy for residents. #DavidForATX

We don’t need more of the same. We need change. I’d be honored to have your vote to fight for a more affordable Austin and put District 5 residents first. #DavidForATX #AustinTX #District5 #ATXCouncil

I’m running for Austin City Council District 5 to fight for you, not special interests. I’ll continue to stand up for Austin and fight to make this an affordable city for everyone. Make your plan to vote and join me in this fight. #DavidForATX #ATXCouncil #AustinTX #District5

He was out delivering food when he was encountered by ICE. Now he’s recovering from a gunshot wound. Austin needs answers, and we need to ensure this never happens again. #DavidForATX #AustinTX #District5 #ImmigrantRights #ICEAccountability

AISD is at a critical moment. With major challenges ahead, we need to build on the progress AISD is making and keep decisions about our schools in the hands of our local community and not Greg Abbott. Read the full article: austinfreepress.org/stay-independent/ #AISD #AustinISD #DavidForATX

Great conversations at tonight’s Meet & Greet in Barton Hills. Thank you to everyone (dog included) who came out to talk about the future of D5, and a big thank you to Mike Doughtie for opening his home and hosting us! #DavidForATX #AustinTX #ATXCouncil

I was thrilled to participate in the Austin Young Democrats candidate forum this week and talk about how I will fight for Austin on the Austin City Council. I also outlined a vision for new climate leadership on Council that doesn’t mortgage our future for special interests.

From those working every day to make a living, to our small business owners, educators, healthcare workers, first responders, public servants, volunteers, and community and environmental advocates, thank you for all you do. Happy Labor Day! #LaborDay #AustinTX #DavidForATX

Trump’s attack on voting by mail is wrong, un-American, and it affects Austin voters. Thankfully, Travis County is fighting back. I spent four years at the Brennan Center fighting voting restrictions in Texas. I’ll bring that same fight to City Hall. #TrumpVotingRules #VoteByMail #DavidForATX

David Weinberg @davidforatx.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

We need new Council Members who make the environment—not special interests—a top priority. I have fought this fight for 25 years and will bring that energy and focus to City Council. #DavidForATX #AustinTX #District5

Had a wonderful time celebrating Bill Oliver and his many decades of musical advocacy in Austin and beyond at the Zilker Clubhouse today. I surely hope he keeps serenading the City Council with his tunes. Thanks to Save Our Springs and Congressman Doggett for hosting.#DavidForATX

My heart goes out to the construction worker who died when storms swept through D5 yesterday, and to his loved ones. While I fully support investigations into this matter, this is a reminder that workers who perform critical and hazardous jobs are neighbors who should be embraced and not vilified.

David Weinberg @davidforatx.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Was fired up to speak to a packed to the gills UDems meeting last night about how I will be a fighter on the Austin City Council. Thank you for having us and thanks for your great work! #DavidForATX #UDems #austincitycouncil

Proud to show up for Austin’s Pride Parade yesterday! 🏳️‍🌈 I’ll always stand with Austin’s LGBTQ+ community and fight to make sure every voice has a place at City Hall.

Texas hemp is worth fighting for! Great to join the Texas Hemp Business Council at the Save Texas Hemp Rally last night. I’ll keep fighting for smart regulation that supports Austin’s small businesses and protects the livelihoods that depend on this industry. #DavidForATX

Had an excellent time at a packed Texas Together town hall in South Austin, discussing ideas for exciting voters this November. Met a lot of great folks from South Austin D5 neighborhoods like Hillcrest and Onion Creek. A lot of great energy in the room! #DavidForATX

I was excited to speak to the Austin Central Labor Council at their August meeting. I will be a steadfast fighter for labor unions and working class Austin families on the Austin City Council. #DavidForATX #unionstrong #workersrights

Thank you to @savebigbend for organizing these protests every Sunday and bringing Austinites together to keep the pressure on and make our voices heard. Sign the petition to stop the wall: nobigbendwall.org/sign-the-pet... #SaveBigBend #DavidForATX

David Weinberg @davidforatx.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Today I joined fellow Austinites to protest the horrible & unnecessary destruction of Big Bend, which is being bulldozed as you read this. This pristine land is home to endangered species and is not a migrant crossing point. Call your federal reps and get involved! #NoBigBendWall

Thank you to the amazing crew that came out and braved the heat for our first neighborhood block walk. It was a huge success. We will be holding many more and could definitely use your help! Sign up to volunteer at www.davidforatx.com! #DavidForATX

This morning I officially filed to run for Austin City Council District 5 and bring representation back to the district! On DAY ONE, I’ll have an open door policy. And if you want to bring a banner to a Council meeting, that won’t bother me either! #DavidForATX

David Weinberg @davidforatx.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I received a request last night to do more block walking in the Garrison Park neighborhood so today I was hitting the pavement there on beautiful Independence Drive. That is what you will get with a Weinberg Council Member: an immediate and energetic response. #DavidForATX

Anthoneil Williams II was an unarmed 17-year-old who was met with more than 20 shots from APD officers during a 911 response. His family deserves justice and accountability. We need better de-escalation training and an independent 911 system. Austin must do better. #JusticeForAnthoneil #DavidForATX

Why did Council rush the Dog’s Head tax subsidy and bypass parts of the usual review process? Follow the money. In my latest article for Austin Free Press, I examine the rushed process and the special-interest contributions accepted by my opponent. #DavidForATX

Follow the money: Dog’s Head deal is a giveaway to Endeavor and Amazon

Austin’s approval of the Dog’s Head TIRZ is raising questions about transparency, tax subsidies and the influence of developer money

Here is the full clip of my remarks that made the news. Ryan Alter wants to raise the recall petition threshold from 10% to 15%, making it harder for voters to hold their representatives accountable. This is incumbent protection, plain and simple, and nobody asked for it. #DavidForATX

000

David Weinberg @davidforatx.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

I urged Council to reject a proposed charter change that would force initiative and petitioned charter amendment elections into November of even-numbered years. It is unnecessary, overly prescriptive, and more expensive. #DavidForATX

000

David Weinberg @davidforatx.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Anthoneil Williams II was only 17. Austin must take a hard look at how we respond to people in crisis while creating a response system focused on safety, care, and preventing harm. #DavidForATX
