Mark your calendars: Early voting starts Dec. 1 in Austin's Dec. 13 runoff elections.
In addition to mayor, Austin will elect council members in districts 3, 5, and 9.
For what it's worth, those three districts are in voting areas that favored Celia Israel over Kirk Watson.

Texans of all backgrounds value fairness; #Chapter313 is nothing but unfair to all of us. #txlege favors the wealthiest
