The mayor of Cave City has been appointed to the National League of Cities (NLC) 2024 Information Technology and Communications Federal Advocacy Committee.
As a member of the committee, Mayor Jonas Anderson “…will play a key role in shaping NLC’s policy positions, and advocate on behalf of America’s cities, towns and villages before Congress, with the administration, and at home,” according to a release from NLC announcing the appointment.
Anderson (pictured above), who is also the current president of the Arkansas Municipal League, was born and raised in Cave City and has served as mayor since 2017. He served on the Cave City City Council beginning in 2010.

“It is such an honor to receive this appointment, and I am excited to contribute to the betterment of cities and towns across the country through this role,” Anderson said in a statement. “I will be an advocate for local decision-making, because local communities should have the authority to do what’s best for our particular people and place. I look forward to working with my committee colleagues and sharing from my perspective as an IT professional and a small-town mayor. I’ll be telling the good story of my hometown, and of our great state, as much as possible, too.”
