Elaina Fowler is running for Mayor of Bee Cave because every neighbor deserves a seat at the table — and a leader who listens before she acts.

"I got into public service because I believe government works best when it works for everyone, not just the loudest voices in the room. Bee Cave is the community I chose to raise my son in, and I’m running because I want him to grow up in a town that protects what makes it special for the next generation."
Elaina Fowler knows Bee Cave from the sidelines of weekend soccer and flag football games and the winding Hill Country roads she calls home. She also understands how government works from the inside, how deals get made, where the money goes, and what it takes to hold decision-makers accountable.
As a working mom and career public policy professional, Elaina has spent over a decade championing transparent policy, community buy-in, and effective solutions that give residents a real voice in the decisions that shape their futures. She's not interested in politics as usual. She's focused on the neighbors she sees at the grocery store and whether they trust their city to do right by them.
At the center of her campaign is a deep commitment to the people and values that define Bee Cave. She believes in responsible leadership that honors Bee Cave's unique character while thoughtfully preparing for a sustainable future. Her vision is straightforward: a community that is safe, sustainable, and truly thriving, where respect for our natural environment and fiscal discipline guide every decision.
Managed legislative priorities and constituent services at the state level
Mayoral appointee overseeing major infrastructure delivered on time and on budget for the public
Council-appointed to shape policy for the City of Austin, building consensus across stakeholders
Experience navigating municipal, state, and federal policy to deliver real outcomes for communities
Real solutions that honor Bee Cave's unique character, for the issues our neighbors actually talk about at the park, at school pickup, and at city council meetings.
Residents shouldn't have to fight for basic information about how their city operates. Elaina will deliver real transparency with accessible budgets, open meetings, and proactive communication so every neighbor can see where their tax dollars go and why.
Growth in our city is inevitable, but how we manage it makes all the difference. Residents deserve a meaningful voice in shaping that future. City leadership should not set aside ordinances or revise agreements to grant special exceptions for developers at the expense of our values. Elaina is committed to ensuring that new development benefits our community—not just developers—and protects the character of our neighborhoods.
The same discipline Elaina brings to policy, she brings to the budget. She'll ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely, budgets are managed with care, and Bee Cave's long-term financial health is never sacrificed for short-term gain.
Our aquifers and green spaces are not unlimited. Elaina will prioritize conservation-first policies, protect our watersheds from overdevelopment, and ensure every growth decision accounts for its environmental impact. The Hill Country is why we live here.
Election Day is Saturday, May 2, 2026, with early voting from April 20 through April 27. Every door knocked, every yard sign planted, and every conversation with a neighbor makes the difference. Join us in building a future founded on trust.
