Dear Neighbor and Friend

We are writing this letter to tell you about a young man, born and raised in Washington, D.C. who has made an important decision. His name is David Bowers. His decision is to seek election in the Democratic primary as the At-Large Councilmember of the District of Columbia in 2006. David has filed his papers and is an official candidate.

David is a young man who we know and believe is one of the new young leaders for our great City. We support him and believe that as you get to know him, you will also enthusiastically support David. We -bid- ;- - --- -

David is "home grown". Born and raised in the city. He graduated from the DC Public Schools - Lafayette Elementary, Alice Deal Jr. High and Woodrow Wilson Senior High School. At the age of 15 as a member of the Mayor's Youth Leadership Institute, David was elected Youth Mayor. He continues with his work with NO MURDERS DC, a volunteer movement he began in 2000. He received a BA degree from the University of Virginia and a Masters of Divinity from Howard University. He is an ordained minister and currently lives in Ward 6.

David's professional career includes experience as a Senior Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, where he provided policy recommendations and budget analyses on housing and community development issues. He also served as a Financial and Programs Advisor for the U.S. Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. This experience was followed by his work managing a homeownership program in Washington for the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust. He presently serves as the Director of the Enterprise Foundation's Washington, D.C., office where he directs the local office's work to increase the supply of affordable housing in the D.C. area.

As a native Washingtonian, David has a genuine understanding of the issues that have plagued this city far too long and prevented too many of its citizens from enjoying the best that the city has to offer' With his keen intellect, decisiveness and ability to foster consensus, we believe that David will bring people together to focus on a common objective - to make DC the "best that it can be".

David has a bold vision and a sense of urgency to get things done. It is time for this kind of exciting new leadership. Over the next months, you will hear from and about David. We believe you will come to know and support David Bowers as someone who will bring to the D.C. Council new energy and a commitment to improving the quality of life for every resident of the District of Columbia.

We are excited to introduce David to you. We ask for your support as he seeks to represent the residents of our great city.

Sincerely,
Supporters of David Bowers
