gree from Southern Wesleyan
University, and a master’s degree
from Clemson University. Bowers
is married with one son and one
granddaughter, and an active
member of Grace United Methodist Church.
Bowers says he’ll promote conservative principles like faith in
God, love for American, ethical
behavior, and a Biblical view of
marriage and sexuality. On the
prayer issue, Bowers said, “Prayer
at school board meetings is a tradition and the board should not
have coward to outsiders, and if
elected I will stand against antireligious extremists, and insist
prayers be reflective of our Christian community.”
He believes we are allowing liberal influences to overtake our
schools and conservatives must
get involved to stem the tide. He
has opposed Common Core since
first introduced and was one of
only four State Board of Education members to vote against
adopting Common Core. “I will
continue to stand against outsiders trying to control our educational system”.
Bowers has over 30-years private sector business experience.

He points out that all his opponents get significant household
income from the government, either from employment with the
school district or other government agencies. “I believe we need
folks from outside the government
for real reform and solutions to
financial and management problems on the board.”
In addition to a focus on values, Bowers also wants to increase emphasis on elementary
reading, Career and Technology,
and cost management focusing
dollars on the classroom. Bowers
says students must read well to
succeed in life. He believes we
should teach children how do
build and repair things and our
career and technology program
does that and must be supported.
He says the board must do a better job of planning and use financial resources effectively.
“There is not an unlimited supply of money, and the board must
prioritize spending on the classroom”. If elected, he said his spending priorities will be competitive
teacher pay, reading programs, and
career and technology. Bowers can
