About the Austin Politics Newsletter

Hi! I'm Jack Craver. I've covered city politics in Austin, Tex. for ten years and launched the Austin Politics Newsletters in 2019 to help people understand the big political decisions shaping the future of America's fastest growing city. My goal is to give you a much better grasp of city politics than you'll get from an increasingly gutted local press.

Full disclosure: I don't actually live in Austin anymore. It's not ideal, but by watching every public meeting online, staying in touch with an extensive network of on-the-ground sources and making regular trips back to town, I'm able to continue offering insights on Austin politics that you won't get anywhere else in local media.

The newsletter is funded entirely by subscriptions. I don't solicit or accept donations. As a result, besides my wife, there is not a single person or entity who I can't afford to offend.

The newsletter comes four times a week (Mon-Thurs). You can subscribe here.
