Election 2026 | Question of the Week 13, District 6 | What city or council policy would you add, change or delete?
Each week through the General Election, 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 General Election, on Nov. 3, features four Cape Coral City Council races: Mayor and the seats for District 1, 4 and 6.
The candidates below are running for the District 6 Cape Coral City Council seat:
Question of the Week: What city or council policy would you add, change or delete?
• Liza King
I would strengthen the city’s policy regarding information provided with City Council agenda items. Transparency means more than making documents available; residents should have clear information to understand the decisions being made on their behalf.
I would like agenda items to include greater background, fiscal impact, available alternatives, and, when appropriate, forecasts of future costs and long-term consequences. Council members and the public should understand not only what is being requested today, but how that decision may affect taxpayers tomorrow.
Better information leads to better decisions, greater accountability, and increased public trust in city government.
• Annette Warren
I would change the way the city manager’s performance is evaluated. The city manager is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of our city, and I believe that position should be evaluated using clear, measurable performance standards. Council should establish specific goals and expectations, including fiscal management, customer service, project completion, employee management and responsiveness to Council and residents. Evaluations should measure actual results against those goals. This isn’t about personalities or politics; it’s about accountability. If we expect measurable results from our departments and employees, we should expect the same from the city’s top administrator.
