Subject: Pete Brandt Announces Council Run in District 2
Date: Saturday, February 10, 2007 12:07 AM

Today Pete Brandt announced he will be a candidate for
Cape Coral City Council to a large group of happy
friends.  He has been urged for over a year to run for
office.  He will be running for the District 2 seat.  

Pete is a retired aerospace engineer who has owned
property in Cape Coral since 1986, and relocated here
from California in January, ’03.  He is active in the
Cape Coral Power Squadron and the Cape Coral
Engineer’s Society, and has served on the Board of the
Children’s Science Center.

The issues Pete will stress in his campaign are: 1)
smaller, more efficient and cost conscious city
government that will abandon the runaway increase in
budget and spending, thus promoting lower taxes; 2)
more effective use of public input and opinion; 3)
putting decisions on major projects before the voters
in the form of referendums; and 4) making sense out of
the Utility Expansion Program by finding the most cost
effective solution to our needs consistent with health
and safety standards.  Pete believes he can help
provide common sense for Cape Coral.
