Corbin Van Arsdale (born December 17, 1969), is an attorney in Austin, Texas, who is a Republican former state representative.[1] From 2003 to 2008, he represented District 130 outside of Houston in northwestern Harris County. He resigned a few weeks before the expiration of his last term in office.[2] In 2014, he was elected to a non-partisan position, the Place 2 seat on the city council of Cedar Park in suburban Austin. He won another two-year term on the city council in 2016, and in 2018, he was elected mayor of Cedar Park.[3]
A Dallas native, Van Arsdale, a fifth generation Texan, graduated from Newman Smith High School in Carrollton, Texas.[4] He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Texas at Austin, where he lettered in baseball, and a Juris Doctorate from the UT School of Law. He is the former general counsel of Boyer, Inc.[1] He is Vice President and General Counsel at Associated General Contractors-Texas Building Branch.[4]
In September 2020, Mayor Van Arsdale voiced strong opposition to Tim Kelly, a conservative serving on the city council, who proposed making Cedar Park a "sanctuary city" for the unborn. Van Arsdale said that since no abortions are currently performed in Cedar Park, there is no need for such a resolution. He called Kelly's proposal an "attention grabbing stunt." Instead Van Arsdale said that he is focused on "city business, passing a budget, keeping the tax rate low, and funding our police." A few weeks earlier, Kelly faced the threat of a recall election because of comments he made about educators on social media.[5]
Divorced from Jacqueline Van Arsdale, he resides with his second wife, Stephanie Leigh Van Arsdale (born 1972). He has three children from the first marriage and two step-children.
