Austin has a city manager. The role of mayor is to preside over city council meetings, as well as improve the economy of Austin, with impacts on transportation efficiency, energy, public safety, public and environmental health, education, housing, local scale commercial and industrial sectors, etc. Additionally, the mayor has no veto powers. It is more like electing a municipal vice president that has some say in choosing the city manager as well.

I must admit, co-op and syndicate oriented economy makes for an unconventional political platform. But the plan is unconventional only because it starts from square one, problem solving with solid foundation. All societies are built environments, drawn from natural environments. The function of public service and stewardship, is to help people make society more livable. This has always been an evolving synergy, and the issues we face today require new solutions.
The purpose of intermunicipal syndicates and co-ops are to funnel money and skilled labor toward expansive education programs, adaptive infrastructures, regenerative resource supply chains, affordable and assisted housing development, mutual aid, environmental remediation and ecological restoration, without increasing taxes.
An added bonus is robust competition within the economy: a new market faction, a tangible and productive network, oriented around workers, communities, and the future of life on Earth, rather than private, short term interests. Serving labor and consumer rather than exploiting, solving disaster rather than taking advantage. Mutualism, rather than parasitism.
So, why not take a chance on something unconventional? It's only a mayor's race after all. For the small bet of a local vote, why not bet on a more resilient, regenerative, healthy and peaceful future, within and beyond Austin?
