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\u00a0 Nov. 3 General Election ballot.<\/p>\n

I want voters to know that because there are only two candidates in the District 4 race, I will not appear on the August primary ballot. I automatically advance to the General Election on Nov. 3. So, please don\u2019t panic when you don\u2019t see my name in August! I will continue serving Cape Coral with the same passion, transparency, and common sense I bring to everything I do. I\u2019m a servant leader, nonprofit executive, wife, mom, and your neighbor,\u00a0and I\u2019m honored to continue working for the community I love.<\/p>\n
