“ … you were so masterful at your leadership. You were just amazing how you bridged the divide between two very opposing types of parties, and it made me want to be chair. It made me want to be chair and that’s literally why I am the Chair [Board of Adjustments].”
Melissa Calhoun“So excited to see Todd Shaw running for D7!Todd is the definition of true Austinite. Caring about his community, he has already stepped forward on commissions and taken leadership roles during their most challenging times offering his own time to help make our city what it is. His work has allowed him an opportunity to have a deeper understanding of current issues faced within the city and the intricacies of our local policies. He’s also fun, so you’ve likely seen him and Amy around enjoying local live music.
If you are in D7, Todd Shaw is an excellent choice. I’m in D2 and have had great conversations with him. He’s even helped me better understand issues from a compassionate and knowledgeable perspective. I hope you’ll consider supporting him.”
Andi Forness“Todd Shaw shows up and he will show up for Austin. I have seen several iterations of his presence and dedication from his son’s Co-op days to his wife’s Roller Derby team, to our neighborhood block party and to being a great guy in general.
