Important Lost Creek
With your support, Lost Creek voted to disannex from the City of Austin with over 90% of the vote!
But the work is just beginning.
We Need a Limited District Board Aligned With the Will of Lost Creek Residents.
-
Last Day to Register: October 7
-
Early Voting: October 21 –November 1
-
Election Day: November 5
This election, you get to vote for TWO candidates on the ballot. There are three candidates on the ballot, but only two who supported disannexation are running for Lost Creek Limited District.
That is why Save Lost Creek PAC urges you to vote for: Patti Brennan and Rich Grafton for Lost Creek Limited District
Patti Brennan and Rich Grafton will work to ensure a smooth transition from the City of Austin that puts the will of Lost Creek residents first.
We were able to officially leave the city on September 9th and since then we have already seen significant improvements. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office [TCSO] has been patrolling our neighborhoods, Westlake Fire trucks have been spotted driving through Lost Creek, and our trash has been replaced with private service at an average cost savings of 30% or more.
Additionally, Sheriff Hernandez has already spoken at a recent LCNA meeting and the TCSO is hosting a town hall for Lost Creek residents later this month (see the LCNA website and email for details).
But the real work is just beginning.
Amongst other things, the debt obligation amount is still being determined, and despite calls from neighbors across Lost Creek to end it, the Strategic Partnership Agreement is still in place with the city. Even after these pieces are negotiated, we will need leaders who support the will of the neighborhood to lead us as and keep our best interests in mind as we move forward.
OFFICIAL LOST CREEK ENDORSEMENTS:
Patti Brennan
“I voted for disannexation along with you and am disappointed in the lack of transparency in the negotiations with the city of Austin and subsequent actions from the current LD board. I believe in finding out what the neighbors want and act as accordingly as possible.
I look forward to working with all of you to ensure the Lost Creek that I raised my kids in remains the same for everyone else. It is truly a special place and we need to ensure it stays that way.” – Patti Brennan

“I am proud of Lost Creek’s “can-do” attitude and sense of community. The Dad’s Club, the Mom’s Club, the 4th of July Parade, the Chili cookoff, and caring for one another during the terrible freeze are just some examples of what makes Lost Creek truly special. I am committed to supporting the decisions of our neighbors and keeping Lost Creek safe, welcoming, and family-friendly.” – Rich Grafton

NOT ENDORSED: Rachel Jackson
Meet Rachel Jackson:
The other candidate on the ballot is running for re-election to the Limited District. She not only opposed the vote on disannexation, but worked against the legislation giving us that vote.
While we appreciate the time and service that Ms. Jackson has given to the neighborhood in the past – it is time to elect leaders who support the will of our neighbors – not leaders who continue to work against them.
Save Lost Creek cannot endorse Ms. Jackson for re-election.
