Donate to Selena Xie
I am Selena Xie, an EMS Commander, paramedic, labor leader, and ICU nurse running for Austin City Council District 8.
As a paramedic, I know that improvements to our transportation infrastructure are a matter of life and death. I know the importance of response times, whether it's for an emergency or constituent services. And I understand the frustration of inaction by City leadership. Just this year, Austin-Travis County EMS has had to shut down five ambulances due to lack of resources from the City Council.
As President of the Austin EMS Association, I fought for our paramedics through the pandemic, ice storms, and the opioid epidemic. I stood up for solutions that bring real affordability so our paramedics can live in the community they serve. I negotiated three contracts with the City of Austin that brought EMS workers all-time high wage increases and family leave.
