Each week through the Primary, The Breeze will ask the candidates for Cape Coral City Council an issue-related question. In the interest of fairness, each candidate is limited to the same amount of space, about 100 words, for their response.<\/p>\n
Cape Coral City Council races are non-partisan races. Council members qualify in their respective districts but are elected at-large. This means all registered city voters may cast a ballot in each race regardless of where they live and the party to which they are affiliated, if any. This year\u2019s Primary, on Aug. 18, features three Cape Coral City Council races: Mayor and the seats for District 1 and 6. District 4, with only two candidates, will be on the Nov. 3 General Election ballot.<\/p>\n
The candidates below are running for the District 6 Cape Coral City Council seat:<\/p>\n
Question of the Week: What message would you like voters to take to the polls? <\/p>\n
\u2022 Joseph Angrisano<\/p>\n
Vote for independent leadership with zero conflicts of interest and zero connections to City Hall insiders. My priorities are Respecting and Acting on Resident Feedback, Smart Growth, Accountability, and Taxpayer First. Elected officials work only for you, not developers or the \u201cgood old boy network\u201d currently running the city. Elections have consequences. We can achieve fiscal sanity, and most importantly restore trust in our representatives.<\/p>\n
savecapecoral.com<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 Jeffrey Huddleston<\/p>\n Basically I\u2019m asking the voters to please just because they might be a friend or a neighbor, do your research. Look at who is backing this city administration which has done nothing for the residents or the city. If we continue to go down this path we are going to be deeper in debt. We have individuals that can\u2019t even do a business plan and don\u2019t have the answers when the council says how much is this going to cost and you can\u2019t even stay within a budget on that certain project. I care about this city. I\u2019ve been here for 12 years. I see a lot of potential for this city. If you do it right \u2014\u00a0and the right way is to listen to the people \u2014 because I\u2019m getting really good ideas from residents and opportunities to meet with great people.<\/p>\n jeffsavecapecoral.com<\/a><\/p>\n Liza King<\/p>\n I want voters to know they have a choice for experienced, accountable leadership. As a lifelong Cape Coral resident with more than 30 years of public service, I understand the importance of protecting taxpayer dollars, supporting public safety, and planning for responsible growth. My commitment is to listen to residents, make decisions based on facts, and always put the community ahead of politics. We can keep Cape Coral safe, affordable, and financially strong while preserving the quality of life that makes our city such a great place to live, work, and raise a family. <\/p>\n Kingforcapecouncil6.com<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 Ray Mule<\/p>\n Residents are calling for decisive action to secure Cape Coral\u2019s future through fiscal responsibility, sustainable economic growth and continued public\u00a0safety. Rising Utility Extension Project costs require disciplined budgeting, competitive bidding, stronger oversight, and the elimination of wasteful spending to protect taxpayers. As the population grows, the city must ensure police, fire, and emergency services have the proper staffing, funding, and resources needed to keep residents safe. Cape Coral must also support local businesses, expand commercial economic opportunities, and attract and retain young families and workers to build a strong, resilient economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
