Dan Brooks is a planner for the Austin Transportation Department, and was part of the team that created the 2019 Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP). The ASMP is our city’s first comprehensive, locally-focused transportation plan, and it identifies projects and enumerates policies to improve mobility and safety in Austin. He has two trees in his backyard; he believes they are elms.

Adam Greenfield is Campaign Manager for Proposition B. Adam is an East Austin resident and regularly enjoys walking and bicycling around Austin. He lives around plenty of pecan trees and is looking forward to making a pecan pie during the next harvest.
