Our fellow Republican Men’s Club of Collier County member is endorsed by Naples Better Government Committee.

See News Release Below:

As part of its mission to promote better government in the City of Naples, Collier County and the State of Florida, Naples Better Government (NBG) meets individually with each candidate to discuss their qualifications and platform statement requested and provided prior the interview and endorsement.

Three of the five candidates running for a seat on City Council were interviewed on Thursday, January 6–incumbent Raymond Christman, John Dugan and Ian Robert Rudnick. It is important to note that two candidates, current Councilman and Vice Mayor Terry Hutchinson and Beth Petrunoff, did not participate in the interviews. Hutchinson withdrew from the interviews about two weeks prior indicating an inability to attend. Responding late to the invitation, Petrunoff indicated a fundraiser conflict making it difficult for her to attend unless a time adjustment was made.

Christman, Dugan and Rudnick impressed the Directors with their grasp of the issues facing the City and willingness to do whatever they could to get the City running efficiently under the leadership of a new City Manager. According to NBG Bylaws, candidates are to be interviewed and a ballot containing the names of all candidates in that race issued to each Director. A voting Director can vote for one or more or for no candidate, with an endorsement requiring a 60 percent majority vote by a quorum of the Directors.

Naples Better Government is pleased to endorse Raymond Christman, John Dugan and Ian Robert Rudnick, all of whom received 60 percent or more of the vote
