Madlin Mekelburg

I am a journalist for Bloomberg News based in Austin. I write about state and federal court fights across the country.

Previously, I covered state politics and elections as the chief politics reporter for the Austin American-Statesman/USA TODAY Network. I also truth-tested claims made by public officials for PolitiFact Texas and worked as the Austin correspondent for the El Paso Times. Prior to entering the workforce full-time, I completed fellowships at the Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle and the Texas Tribune.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin (hook ‘em), where I studied journalism and French. I currently serve on the board of the Friends of The Daily Texan.
