Welcome and thank you for being civic minded!
LkldNow’s 2025 Voter Guide is intended to make it easy to research the candidates who aspire to serve on the Lakeland City Commission and to help demystify how city elections and local government work.
Using LkldNow’s Voter Guide:
The Voter Guide is separated into four sections:
- Key Dates
- On The Ballot: Candidate Profiles and The Ballot Amendments
- Newly Added: Candidate Campaign Financing Reports
- Explainers to answer some of the most common questions about city elections and government
- LkldNow’s earlier coverage of this year’s city elections.
For the candidate profiles, we’ve worked to keep the answers true to exactly how the candidates submitted them with only the lightest editing for fit and format. While we asked candidates to submit any third-party endorsements they’ve received, one of the things you won’t find in here are endorsements from LkldNow. Our role is to report and let you decide.
