Election 2026 | Question of the Week 14, District 6 | Where do you see the city in 5 years? In 10?
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: Where do you see the city in 5 years? In 10?
• Liza King
I’ve lived in Cape Coral my entire life, and I’ve watched our city grow tremendously. In five years, I want to see us managing that growth responsibly: keeping up with roads and infrastructure, supporting police and fire, and being fiscally efficient with taxpayers’ money.
In 10 years, I want Cape Coral to still feel like home. I want our children and grandchildren to be able to afford to live here, raise their families here, and have opportunities to work and play here.
Growth is coming. We can’t stop it, but we can plan for it. My priority is making sure our quality of life grows along with our city.
• Annette Warren
In five years, I envision a City Council that truly listens to its residents, where elected officials and the community work together toward a common purpose: building a Cape Coral we can all be proud of. A city where residents feel heard, respected, and included in decisions shaping their future.
In 10 years, I see a thriving Cape Coral with more local businesses, good-paying jobs, continued infrastructure improvements, and opportunities for future generations. By making smart use of our limited commercial land, strengthening our economy, and protecting our neighborhoods, we can create a city where families and businesses prosper together.
