Jason Meeker for Austin City Council Place One

Welcome to the campaign! (Click here for more.)

March 20, 2008 – 9:45 am

On Feb. 6, 2008, I launched my first campaign for political office. I announced my campaign for Austin City Council against Allen Demling and Lee Leffingwell. My press statement read:

“I am not running because of what Wal-Mart wants to do to my neighborhood. I’m running
because these kinds of things keep happening to neighborhoods all over Austin,” says Meeker.

“I’m running because if something like this happens to your neighborhood or to your small
business, you’ll need a friend in City Hall who can help you. I am running because when it
comes to City Hall, we all deserve a guy on the inside to help us out.”

This blog will tell you all about the campaign and how much fun it is. (And isn’t.) I must also point out that this blog was begun on March 19, 2008, so a lot has already happened.
