Jackie Goodman, animal-friendly Council Member from 1993-2005, on her support for Kathie Tovo in the June 18 run-off election for Austin City Council:
Many have worked hard for years on the Council & in the community, supporting a more sustainable, humane, committed direction for the City in animal welfare policy & program implementation. I'm truly appreciative & grateful for that, nothing can be taken away from anyone's efforts there.
In the current Council Place 3 race I don't see this as one of the issues that divides, as I support a long time friend & recent Planning Commissioner Kathie Tovo.
If Kathie wasn't an animal person though, if she didn't have genuine belief in & commitment to No Kill & another chance, increasing adoptions & affordability/accessibility of spay/neuter programs, didn't respect rescue groups, Boards/Commissions & other community voices - I would not have kept asking her to run these last six years.
Four of many good qualities from my perspective, Kathie is a hard worker who believes a Council Member's role is to serve the public; & that the "whole" is the sum of all its parts: she cares about all those parts. I bet Felix dog (formerly stray), Bartleby & Gracie cats (TLAC, Humane Society) would confirm that, if asked: she cares.
