The upcoming general election offers us the opportunity to select a Council Member to represent the Fourth Ward. I am enthusiastic about the candidacy of a proven community leader, Sandy Rowland.
We are fortunate that Sandy has once again offered herself for public service. Having served for the past 10 years as a member of City Council as an At-Large representative Sandy will bring experience and perspective as a representative of the Fourth Ward. Over the course of her service, Sandy has consistently demonstrated her civic pride and dedication to the betterment of our community.
Sandy is dedicated to her Council responsibilities and has worked tirelessly to listen to the community and advocate for Bowling Green. As long-serving Chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee Sandy has supported and been involved in numerous efforts to maintain and enhance our parks, recognizing the importance of Parks and Recreation to all ages of our citizens. Additionally, she has been a member of the Planning, Zoning and Economic Development Committee and currently serves on Council’s Finance and Sustainability Committees. The work of both of these committees is critical to government operations.
In addition to her extensive experience, Sandy has long been – and continues to be – a consistent supporter and active volunteer in many civic organizations. This work has included the Black Swamp Arts Festival, Brown Bag Food pantry, and Welcome BG, among many others. Sandy is one who is proud of her community and seeks to be a supporter of Bowling Green businesses and people. Her kindness and approachableness make her stand out as a genuine person who truly cares for her community and wants to work in support of Bowling Green.
I hope that you will join me in supporting Sandy in her effort to represent the Fourth Ward on City Council. I am grateful for her past service and excited by the opportunity to continue working with her.
Mike Aspacher
Mayor, Bowling Green
