Anna Mackin is a political lawyer and litigator who advises political candidates, PACs, nonprofit and for-profit corporations, officeholders, and individuals on all facets of political participation. Anna specializes in compliance with state and federal campaign finance, ethics, and election laws; representing clients in enforcement, advisory, and rulemaking proceedings before the Federal Election Commission and state campaign finance regulators; and zealously advancing her clients’ interests in state and federal litigation. 

Anna’s practice draws on over a decade in public service, where she was a senior advisor to federal and state officials and litigated game-changing cases involving the First Amendment, elections, campaign finance, and redistricting. Most recently, Anna was counsel to a Chairman and a Vice Chairman of the Federal Election Commission. Anna also was the chief legal advisor to the Texas Senate during the 2021 legislative redistricting cycle, where she successfully managed the redistricting of Texas’s 38 congressional districts and its 31 State Senate districts.

Anna previously served as Assistant Attorney General and Special Litigation Counsel at the Texas Attorney General’s Office, where she represented the State of Texas, its officers, and its agencies in politically charged civil litigation. In these cases, Anna took countless depositions, briefed and argued dozens of dispositive motions, presented and cross-examined witnesses at trials and hearings, and briefed and argued appeals to Texas appellate courts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Anna also served as a liaison from the Attorney General’s Office to the Texas Legislature and successfully assisted elected lawmakers in crafting legislation to further legislative policy goals without creating unintended consequences for the agency’s hundreds of attorneys and staff.

Anna is fluent in Spanish and lives in Austin with her husband and their daughters.
