Stop the Stipend,
Rebuild Trust

I am tired of not trusting my elected council members. The stipend is a direct violation of the Cape Coral charter and we must elect a new City Council to give a voice back to the people. I am that candidate in District 5. Click below and get to know me, Joe Kilraine.

My Priorities

As your next City Councilman, I will work to end wasteful spending, negotiate better contracts, protect the paradise we all cherish, and manage the city's growth in a responsible way. Here are my priorities to rebuild trust. 

Stop the Stipend

I pledge here that I will not accept one penny of the stipend and will lead the way on rescinding it. The people deserve a ballot referendum or nothing at all. 

Cut Wasteful Spending

The wasteful spending in Cape Coral is out-of-control. I will work to eliminate unneeded costs and programs to reduce the burden on each taxpayer.

Support First Responders

We cherish our police, fire, charter school employees, dedicated city workers and those providing healthcare access deserve nothing less than top level support. I will work to make sure they are appreciated and supported.

Community Conversations

This council has taken you for granted for far too long. Even going so far as to remove your voices from long-standing committees. I will restore the open lines of communication and welcome your ideas and solutions to our city's problems.

Hyper Growth Strategic Plan

Cape Coral is on its way to being in the top five largest cities in Florida by population. The hyper growth we are experiencing must be smartly executed with a focus on infrastructure development. I will prioritize these and not pet projects. 

Finally,
Rebuild Trust

Everything leads to this. The stipend, wasteful spending, disrespectful actions at council meetings...I will take these priorities to the council and make you the people heard and make it my personal mission to rebuild the trust that was broken by this and previous councils. 

Join the fight.

I cannot do this alone. We are at a tipping point in Cape Coral and it is time to take action before we lose everything. The stipend has created distrust and division. I will NOT take one penny of the stipend and will immediately work toward its repeal. Please support this cause, click below to donate.
