A graduate of Stanford University, Mayor Anthony moved to Austin in 1976 after post-graduate study at Princeton University. She moved to West Lake Hills the first time in 1977 and for good in 1988. As a reporter and editor at the Austin American-Statesman, she covered government at almost every level for 14 years.

Linda’s public service for West Lake Hills began in the early 1990s when she served her first term on ZAPCO; I served again from 2010-2013. In 2013 she was elected to the City Council and won a second term in 2015. Later that year when Mayor Dave Claunch resigned, the Council voted to appoint me as Mayor and she’s served as Mayor ever since.

Mayor Anthony’s broader community service includes former board memberships on the boards of Zach Scott Theater, Mexic-Arte Museum, Sharir Dance Company and the Texas Capital Bridge Association.
