My name is Alan John Farquharson, just like my father. For this reason, my grandpa called me AlJohn — and so can you.
1. Why are you running for this seat in Palmetto Bay government?
“I am running for the seat of mayor in Palmetto Bay because we need to start making decisions based on what is good for residents, instead of any other factors that may come before that. All of Miami is going through a phase of redevelopment, and Palmetto Bay is not exempt. The decisions of today will have a lasting effect on not only us, but future generations of people who live here.
“We need people in office who are in tune with the times and care about what residents truly want enough to push for it to become reality. I am running for mayor of Palmetto Bay to give the village a third option — a voice in the center. No more right vs. left. Decision making with no strings attached, only what’s best for residents. Period.”
2. What do you consider the most urgent issue for village residents? How will you tackle it?
“The biggest issue for our village at this moment is the election itself. Being on the ballot is how I plan to take care of it. It’s not about me; it’s about us. We need three new people in office so that we can, thankfully, cut ties with the past in order to create for ourselves a future we can all be proud of. This future must preserve the fundamental that made us great in the first place — the single-family home.”
3. Why do you consider yourself to be the best person for the job?
“Because I am raising a family here right now. I know how great this place already is, and I can see the vast amount of untapped potential which could benefit us all. This will take a person of hard work and honesty at the helm.”
4. What closing statement do you want to make to our readers?
“It’s not often you get the chance to change the status quo. We have that chance. We must take it, Nov. 8. Three out, three in — Farquharson, Gorman, Jones.”
