Columbia’s second ward city councilwoman says she will resign her seat effective Friday May 16, citing health reasons.
Lisa Meyer was elected in April 2024 on a law-and-order message and support of police. Councilwoman Meyer has e-mailed 939 the Eagle’s Gary Nolan, saying that when she ran and started serving, she had no idea what was ahead regarding her health. Councilwoman Meyer says after much time and reflection, she’ll resign effective two weeks from today (Friday) to focus on her health, well-being and family.
Her term still has almost two years on it. Meyer beat Robert Schreiber 1,349 to 998 in 2024. She has told 939 the Eagle News that her law-and-order message and support of the police during the 2024 campaign was the result of listening to constituents.
Lisa Meyer has lived in Columbia since 2005. She’s also chaired the Heart of Missouri’s United Way campaign and has served as the Columbia Northwest Rotary Club president.
