Today one of Austin’s most colorful characters, Jennifer Gale, has died. She was transgendered and made a career out of running for public office. Jennifer had recently started her bid to run for Mayor of Austin. She loved to sing and loved to talk about topics of interest to Austinites. It’s been reported that Gale died of cardiac arrest. Ironically, she spoke (and sang) at a Health & Human Services subcommittee meeting just last night and mentioned her concerns about the health and well being of Austin residents. So her “healthcare initiative” may have been a little far-fetched, but at least she was passionate and used her voice to get her points across. RIP, Jennifer Gale.
