Here it is, y'all! My first stand up special. I was lucky enough to have amazing producers like Tara Brown, Jamal Fielder, Andy Cummings, and Robert Huey. Thank you to everyone that help made this happen and the folks that came out to the live show. https://t.co/Jn4ykjkGAY

@oltorf @MontserratforTX @kathietovo @joshreyna_tx I apologize for the delayed response, I try not to waste time on X when I can spend my time talking to the voters of HD-49, or spending time with my family.

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

She was his executive assistant. When I asked her about it she was very proud of that and bragged about going to the RNC Convention in 2004. That was when she and her husband accosted me at the Austin Chronicle.

[Oltorf Democrat @oltorf]

If it’s true that Kimmie worked for Rove, than of course thats disqualifying

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

I mentioned Elliot. I can send you the whole video if you like, or come out and see me at an event and we can have a real conversation instead of hiding behind fake names on X.

[Oltorf Democrat @oltorf]

I was starting to feel bad for @TheSamSlade but I understand he posted a video of himself claiming Mark Strama and “Eddie” Rodriguez held HD 49.

That is laughably WRONG.

SAM, you owe an apology to Elliott Naishtat, who served HD 49 for the majority of your lifetime.

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

Its a Democratic Primary and they're running on working for Bush & Cheney. I worked on both Obama-Biden Campaigns and I'm proud to say that.

[Oltorf Democrat @oltorf]

There is a fascinating strategy playing out in 49, where the two front runners @MontserratforTX and @kathietovo are on their own level, @joshreyna_tx is lobbing in attacks, and meanwhile @TheSamSlade is savagely attacking Rob Lerner and Kimmie Ellison. What a dynamic!!

@WalkableAustin @statesman This...🤘

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

@WalkableAustin @statesman Theres only one real candidate putting Austin First in HD-49. Im the only candidate not taking Special Interest or Corporate Money. Im the only one that has 20 years of political experience, and apparently Im the only one that isnt a total puppet for somebody's big money.

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

@oltorf Kimmie Ellison was Karl Rove's Exec. Asst. I brought that up at the Austin Chronicle Editorial meeting without mentioning her name, and her and her husband accosted me and got in my face for doing so. . . My 1st campaign job was knocking doors for Kerry in Rove's neighborhood. 😅

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

I'm not a former Bush-Cheney staffer, I'm not bought by the Realtor Lobby, I'm not lying about my record, and I have 20 years of political experience. Sometimes you gotta bark up the wrong tree to get it to sway a little bit. 🤘

[Oltorf Democrat @oltorf]

You’re barking up the wrong tree.

When folks start with the “I’m a native Austinite …” spiel, i tune out immediately. Even as a native myself, I am NOT interested

You are a few weeks away from a distant, single defeat. It won’t be remotely close. Please oppose Tovo in runoff

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

If you don't exercise your own right to vote, how can the folks in HD-49 expect you to vote for them when it counts. The fact is, everything counts and I've always shown up. #TeamSlade #HD49 #TexasDemocrats #GinaForTexas

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

Even on the campaign trail, youre never too old to get a talkin' to from your mama. She said "dont you dare pump those brakes, dont you dare stop hustling, you grew up right here, dont let these rich folks talk down to us. Never, ever give up on your community, I love you." #ATX

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

@oltorf @JessicaCohenTX @kathietovo Im the only one in this raised born and raised in HD49. Im the only one with 20 years of political experience. Im the only one that worked on both Obama Campaigns & Ive been a precinct chair in Travis and Hays. Im not in this race for personal political gain. This is my hometown.

[Jason Stanford @JasStanford]

Going to Fox News for thoughtful cultural commentary is like ordering takeout from Hooters. https://t.co/Cz9zECVw3h

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

Thanks, Steven Weintraub for organizing the CAPTCHA/AWA Forum. The best part of campaigning is sitting down and having real conversations with voters in my hometown, HD 49. When we sit down, share ideas, concerns, fears, and even some laughs, we get stronger together. #TeamSlade

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

You can't run based on the fact you worked for @JoeBiden's Education Dept. when you didn't even vote for him. If a candidate doesn't even exercise their own sacred right to vote, then the folks in ATX (HD-49) can't expect that candidate to vote in their best interests. #TeamSlade

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

Thanks to the @AustinChronicle for having all of the HD-49 candidates running for State Rep. in Austin at the endorsement forum yesterday. Our campaign isn't taking corporate or special interest money. We are a Citizen Powered Campaign and we are proud to say that. #TeamSlade

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

This campaign is backed by tough Texan Women. Its fueled by tough Texas Women. Don't buy the cheap talking points. Austin, lets go make some real change. Lets go remind folks how special the Capital City can be when its people can shine. Mar. 3, we need your help. Vote Sam Slade!

[Greg Anderson @WalkableAustin]

Tovo-like preservation policies that require families to leave Austin help no one

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

Our amazing #TeamSlade Media Director, Amy, broke down the race for State Representative in HD-49 as clear as a beautiful day in Zilker Park. Look, we're hugely outspent because we're not backed by special interest or corporate money. We do have a lifelong bond with out hometown.

[Diego Bernal @DiegoBernalTX]

Abbott chose the secret police over the Constitution.

[Sam Slade @TheSamSlade]

There are 7 candidates in the Democratic Primary for HD49 that are running around in Austin Cosplay. Im the Only Real Austin Candidate in this race. Go to https://t.co/g03i8f15Y0. Join #TeamSlade and Lets Save the Soul of Austin before its too late

Kathie Tovo: NIMBY, pro-rich, anti-poor, anti-student, pro-homeowner, anti-renter

I would take Cathy Togo over Kathie Tovo every day of the week!!
