  • #Restore the #capecoral #yachtclub. Get it back to functional, fiscally sound, and open the boat ramp. Stop making this harder and more expensive that it needs to be. I am a vote to reopen it to the people fast. #ericksonformayor #rickerickson #LeadwithHonor

  • We need city leaders who will fight for the #taxpayers. #Capecoral is craving for #commonsensespending. I am voting for Amendment 3 and will work to cut the waste to make sure you don't spend more than you have to. #ericksonformayor #rickerickson #commonsensespending #veteransforerickson #SGM #Sergeantmajor Americans for Tax Reform

  • Let's clarify this issue. I am for a "cut" into Charlotte Harbor, just not from the #7Islands area. I think it makes more sense near #crystallake. We need resident feedback, environmental studies, and full transparency. I would only be one vote but will always fight for what is right for the taxpayers and residents of #capecoral and #LeadWithHonor. - #rickerickson #ericksonformayor #GOTV Take Out The Trash Committee of Cape Coral Inc.
