Cape Coral residents have an opportunity Friday night to meet local candidates in the upcoming elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On June 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Brotherhood of Heroes Resource Center and Museum, all local candidates have been invited to participate in a meet-and-greet in which the hopefuls can chum it up with members of the public and speak about the platform on which they are running.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The event is sponsored by Chris Cammarota, who is a supporter of the museum and member of the Lee County Veterans Advisory Committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As to why Cammarota organized the event, he said, \u201cWell, to be informed. To get the public informed. There\u2019s nothing worse than a populous that are misinformed or uninformed. If you come, you can meet these candidates face-to-face, one-on-one, and get their views and opinions to help make the best choice for who will represent them.\u201d<\/p>\n
All local candidates running for office have been invited, including candidates for Cape Coral City Council including the mayor\u2019s race; Lee County School Board, Lee County Board of County Commissioners; Congressional District 19, and local judges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Admission to the event is free, and refreshments will be served.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cammarota said each candidate who attends will have a table set up for the public to walk up and hear from them directly. He also is asking each candidate to make a $100 donation to the museum to help its cause.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope the public shows up,\u201d Cammarota said. \u201cIt\u2019s worth your time. This is the right thing, to do your civic duty and be informed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Brotherhood of Heroes Resource Center and Museum is at 4522 Del Prado Blvd., S.<\/p>\n
