During a City of Cape Coral Budget Workshop, my opponent Tom Shadrach said that “user fees and impact fees need to be substantially increased” and even suggested that pickleball fees could be doubled. That worries me. I understand that reasonable fees may be necessary for upkeep and maintenance. But I do not agree with substantially or significantly increasing fees for our parks and recreational activities. Cape Coral residents already pay taxes that help fund these facilities, and they deser

🚨 A public-records email from my opponent, Tom Shadrach, included the recommendation: “Cut EMT services. This is duplicate of Lee County EMS that we pay for.” Not every fire station has a Lee County EMS ambulance, and when ambulances are tied up transporting patients or responding elsewhere, Cape Coral firefighters and EMTs can provide another layer of emergency response. Budget discipline matters, but before Cape Coral reduces or would cut EMT coverage, residents deserve clear answers about

🏖️ Cape Coral’s Yacht Club belongs to ALL of us. Let’s protect it and plan for its future responsibly. Four years after Hurricane Ian, our beloved Yacht Club is still waiting for a new beginning. And I believe Cape Coral deserves a better plan than selling off a piece of our history. My opponent, Tom Shadrach stated he believed we needed a Westin type of hotel or something similar to Cape Harbor in the Yacht Club area! My approach is simple: ✅ Get the Boathouse Restaurant and marina operat
