Karen Snider
Mayor

Term Ends - November 2026 |
| My name is Karen J. Snider, Mayor of the City of Caro. I am serving in my second term as Mayor but I also served the City residents for over 20 years. I have been Clerk/Treasurer, Interim City Manager, plus many other duties. I am motivated to learn as much as I can and my mission is to always help others. I graduated from the Institute of Paralegal Studies and put my knowledge to work for Legal Services as a Paralegal for 13 years in Caro. My focus was on helping indigent individuals and I worked closely with the attorney so these individuals could achieve a better life. My vision for the City of Caro is to mare sure "all" residents get fair treatment and to serve them to the best of my ability. I want them to be proud of their thriving community and hear them say that the City of Caro is definitely their lifetime home. |

| My name is Charlotte Kish and I came to Caro when I was in the 4th grade. I became involved in Caro City Council around 2008 with my first experience being as an appointed official, serving out the remainder of a term. After being elected many times over I took a short absence in 2020 to pursue my BSN. I was re-elected again in 2022. Presently, I have the honor of having been voted in by the City Council as Mayor Pro Tempore. As I serve my term on Caro City Council my goal is to be a voice for our residents and to uphold a standard that allows harmony in our community. |
