Rick Williams qualifies for Cape Coral City Council election by petition of registered voters

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Aug. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Rick Williams has completed qualifications to be on the 2013 ballot by voter petition for the Cape Coral City Council, District #6 November election. By submitting petitions from at least 1% of the residents of his home District 6 who voted in the 2012 election, Williams avoided paying the filing fee to appear on the ballot, demonstrating he is a true fiscal conservative with support from residents in his district.

“I want to thank all those registered voters in Northwest Cape Coral who have rallied to support my candidacy for Cape Coral City Council and look forward to a vigorous campaign on the issues affecting our city,” said Williams. “We’re on a path to economic renewal, but we still have many challenging issues ahead on how to plan effectively for our future growth, curb unnecessary spending, and manage effectively without over burdening taxpayers. I’m a consensus builder with fresh ideas, and I want to be a part of that solution.”   

The Cape Coral City Council race is a nonpartisan election and all voters in Cape Coral can cast votes in each of the Cape Coral City Council races, regardless of district.

Rick Williams is a 22-year retired Navy veteran and biomedical engineer originally from Connecticut who has resided in Cape Coral for nine years. He is a double graduate of Cape Coral Citizen’s Academy and has been active in city and county government affairs, including serving on the Metropolitan Planning Organization, Citizen's Advisory Committee (MPO/CAC) and helping to craft the Commercial Activity Center (CAC) land use regulation and Marketplace Residential (MR) zoning ordinance for Cape Coral.
