“My background of 25 years in real estate has taught me to work with a variety of people,” Sowers said. “It’s my nature to be cooperative and to listen and understand before being understood.” These are skills Sowers said would benefit him as a commissioner in working toward solutions that are a win-win for all involved.
1. What are the challenges in your district?
“I think it’s the communication between the commission and the citizens. There is a challenge to improve that communication so citizens know what’s being voted on before it comes out in the newspaper. I don’t know if the voices of the First District are being heard.”
2. What does the relationship between the commission and the county officials need to be?
“It needs to be open and honest. They need to work hand-in-hand and be open to suggestions in order to accomplish the agenda.”
