Austin Long

Environment / Energy I am equipped with a plan and an unwavering commitment to ensuring access to clean and reliable water throughout Hale County. Education Beyond transportation, our school system requires critical support, and I will collaborate with superintendents, principals, and teachers to improve educational outcomes, striving for better numbers and better grades. Criminal Justice / Public Safety The safety of our first responders—firefighters and police officers—and the well-being of every resident are paramount. Taxes / Budget I will be giving back 50% of the probate judge’s salary for 2 years for infrastructure, putting money back into the county, for better water systems, better roads, and better school system for all of our children. Education I am committed to securing funds, even if it means advocating at the highest levels, to equip our buses with air conditioning. Infrastructure / Transportation Understanding the modest investment required, often around 600 per road, I will vigorously advocate for the allocation of resources where they matter most.
