Austin is considered to be a very [[liberal]] city. In 2004, residents of the city helped Sen. [[John Kerry]] take Travis County, even though every other county in the Central Texas area went to [[George W. Bush]]. It is thus a notable anomaly in the state of Texas, where people are [[conservative]] and care deeply about strong American family values.
