VOTE FARRAH ABRAHAM FOR DISTRICT 5

January 14,2026

Fast Facts":

1. "Paperwork vs. Reality": "The City approved the wrong documents despite three attempts by Farrah to provide the correct ones. If City Hall can't get a filing right, how can we trust them with our taxes? Farrah is running to fix that broken system."

2. "Qualifications Matter": "As a UT-certified paralegal and a business owner who handles national contracts, Farrah has the legal literacy to know when a government office has made a mistake. She didn't let them keep the error—she forced the correction."

3. "A Fighter for District 5": "The real story here isn't a 'mishap'; it's about a South Austin mother and entrepreneur who stood up to City Hall's lack of transparency and won. That’s the energy she’s bringing to the City Council.

Administrative Oversight: The confusion regarding the 'Mayor' versus 'District 5' seat stemmed directly from clerical processing at City Hall. Despite Farrah’s team submitting documents three separate times to ensure accuracy, the City approved and published documents for an incorrect election cycle.

• Challenging the System: Farrah proactively challenged the City’s error. Because the City of Austin does not conduct candidate interviews or provide immediate verbal feedback during the filing process, candidates are often at the mercy of how the City Clerk’s office inputs data.

• The Corrected Course: Once the City recognized the administrative misalignment, Farrah’s candidacy was correctly solidified for District 5 City Council (2026)—the seat she is qualified for and ready to win.

Professional history:

Professional & Educational Qualifications

• Paralegal Certification (UT Austin):Abraham has highlighted her legal education, including pursuing a paralegal certification through the University of Texas at Austin, as a core part of her readiness for local government.

• National Contracts & 1099 Experience:With over 17 years in the entertainment and business sectors, she emphasizes her experience managing high-level national contracts and navigating the "modern worker" (1099/freelance) economy. She positions this as a strength for understanding the economic challenges of Austin’s independent workforce.

• Brick-and-Mortar Business Ownership:Having owned and operated physical business locations in the Austin area (such as her previous retail ventures), she campaigns on a platform of "Keeping Austin Fair" for small business owners who face rising costs and regulatory hurdles.

• Serial Entrepreneurship & Masterclasses:Her background as an entrepreneur includes launching various brands and digital educational content (Masterclasses). She cites this "hustle" and business acumen as evidence of her ability to manage city budgets and taxes more effectively than traditional politicians.

Personal Background & Platform

• Motherhood & Advocacy: As a mother to a 17-year-old and a widower, Abraham often speaks about the "blueprint" of her personal life—overcoming hardship to provide for her family—as a reason she is qualified to represent working parents in District 5.

• Policy Focus: Her 2026 campaign site and social media announcements indicate a focus on:

• Housing Crisis: Tackling affordability for Austin families.  

• Public Safety: Supporting first responders and increasing investment in specialized units like the Austin SWAT team.  

• Government Accountability: Using her experience with "Hollywood drama" and public scrutiny to claim she is "cancel-culture proof" and ready to fight for everyday residents without lobbyist influence.

2026 Election Context

As of January 2026, Farrah Abraham campaign is positioning her as a "survivor mom" and an outsider candidate who understands the financial pressures of the city through the lens of a long-term resident and business owner.  

Election Day is November 3, 2026, and her formal filing with the City of Austin was processed in mid-January 2026. 

For 13 years, you’ve been my neighbors, my friends, and my business partners. Now, I’m ready to fight for you, let your concerns, voices be heard for our city. From ending the 1099 mortgage trap to modernizing health systems for our Veterans, it’s time for a 'Safety and Policy First' Austin as well family planning equity for all who can procreate with amazing pilot programs that only the city of Austin can start locally with and go national. 🇺🇸

We’re keeping it weird, we’re keeping it welcoming, and we’re building a brighter future. God Bless Austin, Texas. Go longhorns.

1. The Abraham Home  Modern Worker Pilot Program.

Why the System is Rigged—And How We Fix It

1. The 1099 Housing Crisis (The Problem)

• The "Net Income" Trap: Current 2008-era laws ignore your gross revenue, penalizing you for legal business deductions.

• The Down Payment Gap: While W-2 workers get 3% down, successful 1099 entrepreneurs are often forced to pay 20%—the "Entrepreneur Tax".

• Systemic Neglect: Career politicians have failed to modernize lending rules for the 60 million people in the creator economy.

-The Abraham Home Modern Worker Act (The Solution)

• Bank Statement Verification: Mandates that lenders accept 24 months of verified bank deposits as a "Safe Harbor" for income.

• Equality in Entry: Opens 3.5% down payment options to self-employed workers with proven cash flow, for all “first time” home buyer applicants are treated equally with inclusion instead at jumbo loan rates for not jumbo house prices. Not Fair.

• Federal Protection: Amends the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to make "employment type" a protected status against discrimination.

The "The Abraham Home Modern Worker Act" Pipeline

Purpose: To demystify the mortgage process for the self-employed and highlight where your policy "bends the line" toward approval.

• Step 1: The Modern Documentation – Instead of tax returns that hide your success, we use 24 months of bank statement deposits to show your true revenue.

• Step 2: The "Safe Harbor" Protection – Under the Abraham Home Act, lenders are legally protected when they use these alternative income models.

• Step 3: The Equality Entry – You gain access to 0% - 3.5% down payment programs previously reserved for W-2 workers, regardless of your 1099 status.

• Step 4: The Outcome – You build equity and ownership in the city you help grow.

2. The Abraham Brighter Futures Initiative (The Austin Pilot PROGRAM )

• Cost-Capped Care: Limits out-of-pocket costs for fertility preservation and preventative care to $200 for working families.

• Universal Access: Provides free care for those earning under $60k/year to ensure biological equity for all humans male and female who can procreate ages 10+.

• Local Leadership: Uses city grants to partner with Austin clinics, proving the model works.

• The Problem Side (The Status Quo): High costs (up to $20,000+) create a "two-tiered system" where only the wealthy can plan their families and prevent crisis.

• The Solution Side (The Abraham Brighter Futures Plan): A PILOT PROGRAM: A $200 price cap for working families and free access for those earning under $60k a year for all who procreate age 10+ up. 

• The Economic Result: 98% reduction in unplanned crises and a 10-year projected spike in local workforce retention. This applies to all family planning health, wellness and all types of families for equity and inclusion for all men and women.

3. Veteran Health Bridge & Transition Pilot Program

This program addresses the three primary friction points veterans encounter when moving to a high-tech hub like Austin:

 The "Health Bridge" (Immediate Care Access)

• The Problem: Many veterans experience a 60–90 day delay in VA benefits processing when relocating or transitioning, leaving them without consistent mental or physical health coverage.

• The Solution: A city-funded temporary health subsidy that "bridges" the gap. It provides immediate access to Austin-based private providers and mental health specialists for the first 100 days post-discharge, ensuring no veteran is left without care while federal paperwork processes.

SAFETY, INCLUSION & PROSPERITY FOR ALL
