Candidate: JOHN A BENNETT

Friends and Neighbors of Ft Myers Beach,

I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Fort Myers Beach Fire District Seat 5.  As a 15 year resident & business manager/owner on FMB, I feel that I’m uniquely qualified to serve on the Board of Commissioners.   I seek office with one motivation, public service to our community. 

As a proud Navy Veteran and former First Responder, I have experienced firsthand the challenges of the men and women who serve our communities.  My basic philosophy of government is simple; maintain a safe community, with efficient public services, while being fiscally responsible. Anything less does a disservice to the citizens, business owners and tax payers.

Like many of you, I enjoy the island life.  I’m an avid fisherman, boater and beach walker.  My wife and I have called FMB our home for longer than either of us has lived anywhere.  We are also proud puppy parents to our Golden Retriever “Finley”, our only son :).

I look forward to the opportunity to serve our great community.
