Carson City Supervisor Lisa Schuette files for re-election
Carson City Supervisor Lisa Schuette filed for re-election Monday. Schuette represents Ward 4. “My goal has always been to do the best job possible and I do this by taking the time to learn about all sides of the issues that come before the board,” she said. “I strive to ensure the best possible outcome for our city and its residents.”
Schuette says while often challenging, she has also found her position in city government rewarding.
“Supervisors are tasked with voting on truly difficult issues with no easy answer and far-reaching consequences," she said. "My unwavering commitment to doing my homework, having honest and respectful dialogue, and doing what is right makes the challenge worthwhile.”
She also adds that going forward, it won’t be any less challenging. “Figuring out how to fund our roads is critical. Road related functions of pavement maintenance, access, mobility and safety, right-of-way, and reconstruction of failing roadways are costly but essential. High housing/rent costs are another concern.”
Lisa has also served the community as a Sheriff’s Deputy, Juvenile Probation Officer and Middle School Health Teacher, being named Carson City Teacher of the Year in 2013, and Nevada Department of Education HIV Educator of the Year in 2009.
Lisa founded Carson Animal Services Initiative (CASI), spearheading the effort to build and help equip the new animal shelter. Schuette has also recently been named one of Carson City's 2024 Women of Achievement by the Chamber of Commerce.
