In the aftermath of the tragic and untimely passing of Council Member Jim Stowe on August 4th, the City Council has unanimously appointed Jim’s widow, Roxie Stowe, to represent District Three for the remainder of this calendar year. Mrs. Stowe, now Councilwoman Stowe, worked closely with her husband and is uniquely qualified to provide advocacy for District Three. I am deeply grateful for Roxie’s willingness to serve, especially in the wake of such a difficult personal loss.
