Tuesday, February 2, 2021 by Jo Clifton
Kelan Robinson, who has worked at City Hall and for the development-oriented outfits Austin FC and the Downtown Austin Alliance, started his new job Monday as chief of staff for Mayor Pro Tem Natasha Harper-Madison. Harper-Madison told the Austin Monitor via text, “I’m super excited to have Kelan bring his energy and seasoned knowledge of City Hall to Team District 1. My mantra for 2021 is ‘housing, housing, housing,’ and Kelan has the experience and skills that will be indispensable as my team and I make a big push for expanded affordability, equity and access to opportunity for the residents of District 1 and all of Austin.” Robinson is also on the boards of the nonprofit Six Square and the urbanist group AURA.
