David Bronson (born June 26, 1958)[1] is an American politician, pilot, and retired Air Force officer.

[4] After graduating, Dave was involved in the creation of Alaska Family Council, a nonprofit organization that promotes traditional Christian values and is against same-sex marriage and abortion.

In addition, Bronson emphasized the importance of funding necessary public health and safety services in an attempt to prioritize the needs of Anchorage residents.

Another policy was revoked that allowed non-unionized city workers to bring their young children (up to six months old) to the office.

Bronson cited the lack of research on the policies prior to implementation and their rushed nature of approval as reason for their dismissal.

[16] During an Anchorage Assembly meeting on September 29, 2021, he defended the use of Star of David holocaust imagery worn by those opposed to a municipal mask mandate.

Mayor Bronson initially advocated for the symbol's usage, calling it a “credit to [Jews],” but later recanted the statement after public criticism.

[18] On October 1, he ordered a stop to water fluoridation in Anchorage based on reports of dangers, such as burning eyes and throats of workers.

He allowed it to resume when he discovered that it is mandated by Anchorage's municipal code, and no significant impact on the water fluoridation level was caused on October 1, 2021.

Bronson said that the Arena should go back to hosting concerts and hockey games, and suggested sending the homeless people to Los Angeles and other cities in the contiguous United States.

[24][25] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bronson accepted an early retirement package from Delta Airlines, where he had been a commercial pilot.
