TEXAS FORWARD PARTY ENDORSES DAVID WEINBERG FOR AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT 5

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUSTIN, TX - September 10, 2026 – The Texas Forward Party is proud to announce its official candidate endorsement of David Weinberg, who is running as a non-partisan candidate for Austin City Council District 5.

Weinberg, a 16-year District 5 resident, brings 25 years of experience in public-interest strategy, environmental protection, and legislative advocacy to the race. His professional background includes serving as Executive Director of the Texas League of Conservation Voters, Chief of Staff in the New York State Assembly, and a grassroots campaign strategist dedicated to voting rights, park preservation, and local governance transparency.

Running on a community-powered platform, Weinberg is focused on restoring public trust and putting resident voices first at City Hall. His priorities include increasing municipal budget transparency, protecting Austin's parks and natural environment, supporting neighborhood public schools, expanding housing affordability, and demanding accountability on major city utility decisions. Weinberg is dedicated to transparent, evidence-based decision-making and bringing a responsive, open-door approach to District 5.

"Austin City Council has lost its way when it comes to transparent government and public service, bowing to big special interests over the residents of the city,” said David Weinberg. “This shows in a widespread loss of public trust in the Council, which I will fight to restore by putting people first and demonstrating a steadfast commitment to those values."

"David Weinberg brings a deep commitment to open government, environmental stewardship, and constituent accountability to the District 5 race," said Brandon David, State Chair of the Texas Forward Party. "Whether advocating for clean energy transparency, park protection, or public trust in city budgeting, David has shown his desire to put community needs first as part of his vision for Austin."

Weinberg’s candidacy delivers pragmatic, resident-focused leadership to City Hall, ensuring that growth and municipal spending are shaped by open public dialogue rather than closed-door special interests.
