Early voting for city elections begins Monday, April 30. There are 14 candidates running for four positions on the Austin City Council and half of those contenders are in Place 5.

Today we conclude our Place 5 interviews with David Conley – one of the seven candidates running in Place 5 against incumbent Bill Spelman. KUT’s Wells Dunbar spoke with Conley about his ideas for improving affordability, traffic and Austin’s property taxes.

If there’s anything should be on top of the list, it should be transportation. We’re surrounded by such an extreme inefficiency. Transportation, to me, it’s probably the number-one issue because it has such an impact on everything.”
