There are less than 8 weeks to go before election day. In the final days leading up to November 8th, you can expect to see a mailbox full of flyers claiming the photo of the person you see is the best candidate in the race. Those flyers cost big money. Here’s how the Fort Myers Beach town council candidates stack up in the money race.
