Lisa Schmidt Cavanaugh said in a 2024 candidacy interview that she is looking to be reelected to continue being a voice for the residents and to continue serving the city with the same philosophy that she has since first elected, “putting what is in the overall best interest of the city first.”
Schmidt Cavanaugh said the biggest issues facing Cold Spring are ensuring the police department salaries are competitive with those of surrounding cities that are similar in size and securing long-term revenue so that the city is able to continue providing city services they are accustomed to.
Schmidt Cavanaugh faces Chris Ampfer, Steve Cunningham, Joe Heil, Paul Kloeker, Mason Meyer, Cindy Moore and Laura Vroegindewey in the Nov. 3 general election.
Schmidt Cavanaugh said her 12 years of city council experience sets her apart from the competition.
“Although I’m classified as a politician, I don’t consider myself one,” she said in 2024. “I’m just a citizen trying my best to serve the city. I believe in weighing the pros and cons of every issue and making decisions based on what is in the overall best interest of the city, not personal opinions or political agendas.”
Schmidt Cavanaugh said she also makes herself available to every resident and will continue to do anything she can regarding their concerns.
