AUSTIN (KXAN) — Conservative challenger Mackenzie Kelly beat incumbent Jimmy Flannigan in the Austin City Council runoff election Tuesday, earning 677 more votes in District 6. ...

Kelly’s election will change the solidly progressive makeup the council has had the past two years. The positions she campaigned on are significantly more conservative than those of her fellow council members and she is the only council member to have an endorsement from the Travis County Republican Party.
Alas she's the only one. Another gal running on a conservative platform gave her opponent a scare and made it into a runoff election, but came up just short.
