Election 2026 | Question of the Week, Week 1, District 6
Why are you running? What are the planks of your platform? — July 10
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.
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’s 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.
The candidates below are running for the District 6 Cape Coral City Council seat:
Question of the Week: Why are you running? What are the planks of your platform?
• Joseph Angrisano
“I’m running as a political and social conservative to restore fiscal responsibility, end wasteful spending, and deliver zero-conflict, collaborative leadership, focused on smart growth, UEP affordability, and taxpayer priorities in District 6.”
• Jeffrey Huddleston
The reason why I’m running is because the people “citizens” of Cape Coral are tired of this stupidity of the city. I see a lot of stuff that not too many other people see, because I observe what goes on here in the city. The city is wasting a lot of money in many ways. The voters need someone that is on their level that wants to see the city grow but not become another Tampa, Miami or Naples. We are different and should stay that way. There are so many issues that needs addressed such as traffic, new businesses, wasteful hiring within the city, projects not getting done, shortage on traffic police and many more.
• Liza King
I’m running for Cape Coral City Council to provide experienced, accountable leadership that puts residents first. As a lifelong resident with 30-plus years of public service, I’ll focus on fiscal responsibility, public safety, and prioritizing infrastructure.
• Ray Mule
I’m running because Cape Coral needs an independent voice willing to challenge the status quo and the political establishment. For too long, the same insiders, special interests, and well-connected groups have had too much influence while residents have been silenced. City Hall should answer to taxpayers-not developers or political insiders. My platform is simple: transparent government, fiscal responsibility, strong public safety, controlled growth that protects existing neighborhoods, and accountability for every decision and every tax dollar. I’ll ask the tough questions, stand up to the establishment when necessary, and always put the people of Cape Coral ahead of politics.
• Annette Warren
I am running for Cape Coral City Council because this city has been my home for over 40 years. I grew up here, raised my family here, and care deeply about its future. As an Air Force veteran and longtime community volunteer, I believe in integrity, accountability, and service before self. My priorities are finishing our infrastructure projects, practicing fiscal responsibility, increasing transparency, supporting public safety, encouraging smart growth that pays for itself, and bringing better jobs to Cape Coral. I will listen, ask tough questions, make informed decisions, and always put the residents of Cape Coral first.
