Leslie Pool is expected to announce her candidacy for the District 7 City Council seat in the coming week.
Pool, a resident of Rosedale, is a long-time Austinite who has served on several City of Austin boards and commissions. She is backed by current Travis County Precinct 2 commissioner candidate Brigid Shea, and purportedly by City Council Member Laura Morrison. She has worked in the past for Ann Kitchen, who is herself running for Council in south Austin’s District 5.
