John Harber announced his candidacy for mayor of Atoka on Friday, seeking the seat currently held by Mayor Barry Akin.<\/p>\n

Harber, who has served two terms as an Atoka alderman and owns a local construction company, said his campaign will focus on board unity and resident-centered governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy priority will be bringing the board together and keeping our focus on where it belongs: on the residents of Atoka,\u201d Harber said in a statement announcing his candidacy.<\/p>\n

Harber cited 17 years of managing his construction business and his time as alderman as preparation for the mayor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a two-term alderman and 17 years of managing a successful company, I have the experience to lead our town forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

To support the campaign, Harber said his wife, Rebecca, is leaving her position as academic coordinator for Cultural Homestay International in the West Tennessee area. He said she will take over day-to-day operations of the family\u2019s construction company beginning next month, handling client communication, scheduling and administrative management.<\/p>\n

Harber said the arrangement will allow him to dedicate his full attention to the campaign and, if elected, to Atoka\u2019s residents.<\/p>\n

Incumbent Mayor Barry Akin has not yet announced whether he will seek re-election.<\/p>\n

Harber\u2019s announcement comes more than six weeks before candidates can formally enter the race.<\/p>\n

According to the Tennessee Secretary of State, the petition pickup window for municipal candidates on the November ballot opens June 22. The qualifying deadline is Aug. 20 at noon, the date by which all candidates must file to appear on the ballot.<\/p>\n
