Election
BY SIENNA WIGHT
KEY: *Incumbent
Dripping Springs City Council, Place 2
Why are you running for Dripping Springs City Council? I’m running because Dripping Springs is growing quickly, and we need thoughtful planning to protect what makes our community special. After years of attending council meetings and working on local policy, I’m prepared to help manage growth responsibly, strengthen infrastructure, and ensure city decisions reflect the priorities of residents.
What is the biggest challenge facing the city, and how would you address it? The biggest challenge is managing growth while maintaining infrastructure, water reliability, and quality of life. I support proactive planning, responsible development decisions, and coordination with regional partners. The city must ensure infrastructure keeps pace with growth and make data-driven decisions that protect long-term sustainability for residents and businesses. I would say traffic congestion is a very large challenge but this is primarily on TxDOT to handle. We build smaller city streets anywhere we can like Roger Hanks Parkway and Village Grove to ease congestion, but ultimately it’s on TxDOT to plan the expansion of major arteries.

Wm. Travis Crow* Occupation & experience: Candidate did not respond to the questionnaire before press time.
Since moving to Texas 13 years ago, I’ve wanted to be deeply involved in the community. This opportunity allows me to directly serve the city I love, working with and for the people of Dripping Springs to move our community forward while protecting what makes it special.
Keeping pace with the city’s growth is critical. This includes improving roads and traffic flow, strengthening community connection, and addressing infrastructure needs. Water is a major concern, and through responsible planning and collaboration, I believe we can find solutions that meet the needs of our growing community.
