"I am very happy to be able to endorse Deborah Lux in her candidacy for Punta Gorda City Council. I have found Debi to be persistent in her endeavors and think she will use this energy to improve the Punta Gorda community. Debi has my full support to be your next councilwoman as she will bring her many life experiences and skills to better our community."
C. Michael Polk, III
Attorney, Property Appraiser
"Dr. Debi Lux is the only candidate with the courage, strength and ability to make intelligent and informed decisions that will impact our city’s future. She has studied and is knowledgeable about the land development regulations (LDRs) and is able to apply those to any development plans being initiated. These codes affect the everyday lives of the people who reside in our city, and we need leaders at the helm who can make rational decisions that will have an everlasting impact on the health, safety and welfare of our citizens. Debi Lux is that person!
While other municipalities are limiting building heights and densities (Estero, Venice, Stuart, Palm Beach County, Bonita Springs and Fernandina Beach), the City of Punta Gorda is raising the building height and density to an unprecedented level.
Punta Gorda has experienced the success it has had for decades, due to its small-town feel and charm. While our current city council is encouraging 100’ buildings and incompatible densities, Debi Lux is committed to maintaining the small-town feel we all fell in love with when we decided to live in Punta Gorda. She is determined to implement the will of the people, rather than the will of land developers.
I am honored to endorse Dr. Debi Lux for Punta Gorda City Council. Her unwavering commitment to preserving Punta Gorda is exactly what we need in our leadership positions.
Sincerely,
C. Michael Polk, III
C. Michael Polk & Assoc., MAI, SRA, CCIM, Esquire"

C.J. Metcalfe
Veteran Advocate / Liaison, Punta Gorda
"As a veteran advocate in the local community, it is always a special pleasure when local veterans stand out in our community. Not only have they served our country well, but they continue to give after their military service. Dr. Deborah Lux is a shining veteran, who not only had an admirable career in Florida, but after retirement she continues to give to her community. Her creation of Honor Flight in Lee-Collier county is an admirable feat. It shows her willingness to give of her time to support those veterans around her. I have watched her get involved in our Punta Gorda community. She cares about the people and wants their voices heard. She studies and researches issues in city government so she can confidently speak to our leaders. I totally support Dr. Deborah Lux in her ongoing efforts, including running for a City Council position. It is people like her that we need to channel through."
Sue Randall

"I have finally encountered an individual who possesses astute comprehension of small business affairs, allowing them to consider the complete perspective before arriving at logical conclusions. I wholeheartedly support Debi Lux as she intends to utilize her expertise to ensure appropriate decision-making for the betterment of both our business and residential communities."
Richard Wobbe
Local Artist and Entrepreneur
"Why do I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Deborah Lux?
Authenticity is sorely lacking in the world of politics. However, when I gaze at the photo featuring myself alongside our dear friends Byron Donalds, Drew Steele, Doc Debi Lux, and Jeannine Polk, I am struck by the genuine nature of these individuals. Throughout all the years I have known her, Doc has consistently emanated a radiant light, unwavering in her true self.
To Doc, I convey this message: remain steadfast in your authenticity, for we all recognize and deeply appreciate you for it. Regardless of the circumstances, never compromise your morals for the sake of recognition or self-indulgence. Your gift is truly remarkable, and it is important that you embrace it wholeheartedly.
Pride stands as the greatest transgression of humanity, and we are all susceptible to its grip to some extent. I, more than others, am guilty of it. These honorable men and women, including yourself, will never forsake their faith, and I have no doubt that you share the same unwavering commitment. As you ascend to the role of councilperson, which I firmly believe you will, you will face numerous challenges and trials. Stay dedicated to serving the people, as you have always done. Strive for the highest pinnacles, for we truly need your presence in this ongoing battle.
Rest assured that I am praying for you, as you hold a special place in my heart."
Sean Lux

"Debi is an amazing woman who always follows through on what she says she is going to do, which is a difficult quality to find in a person. When she puts her mind to something she accomplishes it. She is beyond dedicated to do what she can to serve the residents of Punta Gorda."
