Charleston attorney Stephen Bowden today filed paperwork to officially become a candidate for Charleston City Council. Bowden, an attorney with the Charleston County Public Defender's office has already raised over $20,000 in his effort to defeat incumbent Harry Griffin.
Bowden made the following statement regarding the filing:
“West Ashley deserves serious, mature representation on City Council. We need a respected advocate for our community who shares our values and will work to slow development, ease traffic congestion, protect our natural resources, and solve flooding issues. Unfortunately, my opponent has been completely ineffective at addressing the issues that matter yet consistently effective at humiliating himself and embarrassing his constituents.”
Bowden lives in the Shadowmoss neighborhood with his wife June, who is a Charleston County public school teacher. He was interviewed on Holy City Sinner Radio, this website’s companion podcast, in March. You can listen to that interview here.
