Election 2026 | Question of the Week, Week 2, District 6
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: What are your top three issues and why?
• Joseph Angrisano
1) Fiscal Responsibility – Stop wasteful spending and investigate all present and future project bids.
2) Infrastructure – Lower the always rising punitive costs of UEP assessments for homeowners.
3) Public Safety – Law Enforcement and Fire and Rescue funding are a priority for the growing population.
• Jeffrey Huddleston
We need to stay in our budget limit, quit borrowing money every time someone decides to start some new project or wants to hire more people.
The biggest problem we have is the traffic issue; we need to reevaluate how we can look at the growing issue of traffic. Used to be able to drive 15 minutes to downtown now it takes 30 if you’re coming from Northwest Cape.
We need to try to get businesses here and spread them out within the city including Northwest Cape.
And to be honest with you one of my top issues is we need more traffic police meaning we need more officers on the road, not in the office. We need to reduce the speeding, the red light running, and one that’s starting to come a very popular problem, motorcycle splitting.
• Liza King
First, smart spending decisions and keeping taxes reasonable. Second, promoting public safety as it is the foundation of a strong community. Third, roads, utilities, and public facilities should be prioritized so development enhances our community instead of placing additional burdens on existing residents.
• Ray Mule
My top three priorities are restoring trust in City Hall, protecting taxpayers, and managing growth responsibly. First, residents deserve a government that is transparent, accountable, and listens before decisions are made-not after.
Second, every tax dollar should be spent wisely. I will challenge unnecessary spending, demand accountability, and ensure essential city services are delivered efficiently.
Third, growth must be planned responsibly, with roads, utilities, water resources, and public safety keeping pace with development so existing residents aren’t left paying the price. Elected officials should be committed to working for Cape Coral residents. Not the government.
• Annette Warren
My top three priorities are infrastructure, fiscal responsibility, and transparent government. First, we must finish the infrastructure projects we’ve already committed to because our growth has outpaced our roads, water, and sewer systems. Second, we need to be responsible with taxpayer dollars by asking tough questions, eliminating waste, and focusing on core services. Third, I believe residents deserve a government that listens, communicates openly, and earns the public’s trust through transparency and accountability. By staying focused on these priorities, we can build a stronger, more affordable, and better-prepared Cape Coral for current and future generations.
