Mackenzie Kelly Becomes Lone Conservative Voice On Austin City Council After Election Upset Victory

 
They called her a “toxic reactionary” Nazi. They falsely claimed she was associated with white supremacist groups. They even tried to accuse her of hypocrisy regarding COVID-19 restrictions. Yet, despite the odds, Mackenzie Kelly powered through and won a seat on Austin’s city council for the sixth district.
After incumbent Councilmember Jimmy Flannigan failed to get the required percentage of votes to win re-election on Nov. 3, he faced challenger Mackenzie Kelly in a runoff election that was decided on Tuesday. According to the unofficial numbers, Kelly defeated Flannigan by four points, receiving 52% of the vote to Flannigan’s 48%.
This victory is notable for several reasons: on the day of the general election, Flannigan led Kelly by seven points with 40% of the vote to Kelly’s 33%.
