Mayor Cavanaugh has also been very active in Valley
transportation issues as a member of the MAG Transportation Policy Committee
and the National League of Cities Transportation Infrastructure &
Services Committee and is credited with leading a precedent-setting,
multi-city effort that achieved the four-year acceleration of the widening of
I-10 along an eight-mile stretch in the Southwest Valley.
He participates on the Arizona Consortium for Business and
the Environment, a grassroots effort that focuses in part on the remediation
of properties that have suffered previous contamination. His concern for the
environment is also reflected in the City's participation in the U.S. Mayors'
Climate Protection Agreement.
Mayor Cavanaugh is also active in efforts to protect Luke
Air Force Base. He served in the United States Air Force for more than thirty
years in command, management, logistics, and missile operations positions,
retiring in the grade of Colonel.
