This week’s newsletter is dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Joseph L. Bowser, a beloved leader in Ward 5 and a dedicated advocate for North Michigan Park. Joe, who passed away last Friday, wore many hats: devoted husband to Joan Bowser, father to Mayor Muriel Bowser, reliable neighbor, ANC commissioner, community leader, and passionate activist for his hometown—just to name a few. His unwavering commitment to our community and his tireless efforts to make a difference will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
I share additional reflections on the legacy of Mr. Bowser in this week’s episode of The Ward 5 Wave. The podcast also features a conversation with my office’s summer intern, Faith Hutson. I am grateful for all of Faith’s hard work and the many insights she brought to our efforts of building healthy communities across Ward 5. Tune in to the podcast and hear directly from Faith about what she worked on and how she experienced her time in the Ward 5 Council Office.
