We're very proud to announce that Lee has won the endorsement of the popular Democratic blog Burnt Orange Report!

From the endorsement editorial:  "...we believe Lee Leffingwell should and will be the next Mayor of Austin. We stand by that. Even though Leffingwell's spent less time on the City Council then Brewster McCracken, we feel he is more in tune with the citizens and other key community members who will work together to move the city forward. We have no concerns about where his loyalties lie, whether we can trust his word, or if he will work to protect and enhance the average citizen's quality of life as Mayor. Lee is relatable, he is humble, and he is grounded ... Lee's in it for Austin because he's in it for you..."

Thank you to the BOR staff and readers!

LL has now won 32 of the 35 endorsements in the 2009 race for Austin mayor!
