About Mackenzie


Before her election to City Council, Kelly served the community at the Round Rock Fire Department Training Division and the Austin Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). In 2019, she was elected president of the 100th class of the Austin Police Department's Citizen Police Academy, which deepened her support for local law enforcement.

Kelly served the Jollyville Fire Department from 2005 to 2013, where she completed a year-long fellowship through the Disaster Science Academy. Her dedication to serving vulnerable populations is evident through her work in home health care and her appointment by Governor Rick Perry to the Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities.

On a personal note, Kelly is a proud mother and is happily married. She graduated from Westwood High School in 2005 (Go Warriors!).
