Stonewall Dems pick Adler, Garza, Renteria
Monday, September 8, 2014 by Jo Clifton
After listening to the candidates for mayor and four of the new City Council district seats, the Austin Stonewall Democrats made the following endorsements last week: for mayor, Steve Adler; District 2, Delia Garza; and District 3, Sabino “Pio” Renteria. There were dual endorsements in two of the races. In District 7, the group endorsed Leslie Pool and Melissa Zone. In District 9, they endorsed both Chris Riley and Kathie Tovo. According to Rich Bailey, endorsement chair for the Stonewall Democrats, the threshold for an endorsement is 60 percent, but no candidate reached that threshold in the two races, so the group decided to issue the dual endorsements.
