Kara King, Council member, City of Bee Cave
Kara King has been serving on the Bee Cave City Council since early 2013 and is in her second term. Previous to her election she helped draft the City’s Home Rule Charter. She has also served on the Economic Development Board.
Kara grew up in Plano graduating from Plano Senior High School. She is very proud to have then graduated from Texas A&M University, majoring in biomedical science, a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority, and served in many capacities with student government. After college she taught middle school science, then went on to medical marketing and medical telehealth sales, before returning to the classroom as a current secondary science substitute teacher for LTISD.
In addition to serving the city of Bee Cave, she serves in other capacities in the community. She started the Austin Stop the Clot Charity, a division of the National Blood Clot Alliance, after suffering a near fatal blood clot and bi-lateral pulmonary embolisms in September 2010. She also is the Texas Ambassador for the National Blood Clot Alliance, as well as serves on the Principal's Council for LTHS, on PTO committees at both LTMS and Bee Cave Elementary and she and her family are active members of Emmaus Catholic Church in Lakeway. Perhaps most importantly, she is a proud member of Leadership Lake Travis, class of 008!
She and her husband of 18 years, Ben, have lived in Bee Cave since 2008, and have a 10th grader, 6th grader and 4th grader, who are involved in way too many extra-curricular activities!
