Cape Coral Politics

09/02/2026

FAIR QUESTIONS? Facebook is Ground Zero for Voters Looking for answers while CANDIDATES ignore their questions. WHY??? Cape Coral Politics is one of many active pages where TAXPAYERS are asking SERIOUS Questions. Do you want more Slogans and Lawn Signs or CANDIDATES that actually get their hands dirty? Who wants to CRUNCH the Numbers First?

**1.** If Amendment 3 passes, will you pledge not to replace the homestead savings with higher fire, stormwater, garbage, or utility fees?

**2.** The city says it could lose about $29 million in 2028 and $47 million after that. What will you cut first before you raise any fee on homeowners?

Lisa Cohen-Adkinson For Mayor Go easy on the DRAMA. We didn't single you out. Every candidate who avoids FB is a Coward. What are they afraid of? Accountability? Being held to smart, well thought out answers? You answered one question. We hope to see you on MULTIPLE Cape forums engaging with VOTERS. Daniel Purdon Dan, are you satisfied with Lisa's answer? Wes Cape Coral Data Book was not. Wes commented: Dan did not ask you to cut the pensions of city workers. He asked if you were willing to shift to FRS. Yes or No? Also, should the taxpayers fund a pension system that is significantly more expensive and generous than what is offered by the FRS?

**OK - You Love Cape Coral & Avoid the Hard Questions**
That’s not campaigning. That’s hiding in public.
If you have time for a 30-second reel, you have time to answer the people paying the taxes, fire, garbage, stormwater, UEP, fines, electric, and water bills etc.

Voters are questioning your silence. They’re talking. They’re crossing names off. Don’t pretend you’re “for the residents” while you DUCK questions. November is a hiring decision. **COWARDS DON'T GET THE JOB** Rick Erickson for Cape Coral Mayor Lisa Cohen-Adkinson For Mayor Liza King for Cape Coral City Council, D6 Annette Warren for Cape Coral City Council District 6 Tom Shadrach for City Council Jennifer Nelson for Cape Coral City Council District 4 James Vargas For Cape Coral City Council D4 Julia Ettari DAVE NEWTON (LINK DISABLED)

CANDIDATES: VOTERS HAVE TAKEN NOTICE.
You’re Ducking CAPE CORAL voters on Facebook who want answers. Why?

Do you prefer the sleepy GOP paddle forums… or an inept, biased moderator packing a small restaurant with obvious campaign plants?

Voters are on Facebook because it’s conversational and convenient. That’s where the action is.
