Naples Reagan Club Hosts State House Seat Forum

The two Republican candidates, Yvette Benarroch and Gregory Folley, running for Florida District 81 House Seat being vacated by State Rep Bob Rommel due to term limits, answered questions regarding their respective views on a number of different issues. Although being term-limited in the House seat he has held the last eight years, Rommel is running for the District 28 State Senate Seat presently held for the last eight years by outgoing Senator Kathleen Passidomo, who herself is term-limited.

The forum was hosted by the Naples Reagan Club at the Stix Sushi and Seafood Restaurant in East Naples on Tamiami Trail. Attendees were welcomed by the club’s President Priscilla Grannis and was moderated by State Senator Kathleen Passidomo.

The event itself was attended by approximately 50 members of the organization and questions touched on a number of subjects, ranging from immigration issues to affordable or workforce housing and protecting the 2nd Amendment. 

The winner of the Republican Primary will go on to face the sole candidate on the Democratic side in the general election.
