John Elizabeth Alemán... A Girl Named John
John Elizabeth Alemán has been a resident of Miami Beach for more than twenty years. Married to José Braulio, or J.B. for short, the Alemáns have two sons who are fourth-generation Miami Beach residents.
John is a business professional and an active member of our community. Her corporate career was in information technology that provided strategic technology consulting to Ryder System, Inc., a Miami-based Fortune 500 company. John has been active in the Miami Beach public schools, including serving as President of the North Beach Elementary PTA, and is a strong supporter of public education.
John was born in Tampa and raised in Sarasota. She has two sisters. John’s father was born in Panama City, FL at Tyndall Air Force base. Her paternal grandfather was an Air Force instructor pilot who retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. Her father and stepmother live in Palmetto, FL.
John’s mother is the original “Girl named John.” Her mother was a special education teacher who died unexpectedly when John was 14 years old. John’s maternal grandfather, Dr. William Fitts, promised his World War II buddy and fellow Army medic to name his second child in his memory.
John’s parents chose to continue this legacy and named their second child, also a girl, the same way.
John is proud of her name as result of this tradition, and she and her husband continue the legacy.
My Priorities
Fiscal Responsibility
Responsible decision making that includes future impact and sustainability.Quality of Life for Residents
There must be a balanced approach to keep the unique charm of our community, while supporting great new ideas and progress.
Environment and Flooding
Traffic and Transportation
Casino Opposition
Miami Beach is both an exciting place to visit and a fabulous place to live. Casinos would cheapen Miami Beach and degrade our quality of life by upsetting that balance and degrade residential property values.Education Innovation
Strong schools make Miami Beach an all-around great and attractive place to live. Although education is a state and school board responsibility, we must find innovative ways for our City to encourage excellence in Miami Beach schools. Good schools are good for business.Media
Watch important Commission items and stay up to date with campaign updates.
