DISTRICT 1
George Bowers: Recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that racism is directly correlated to exposure. I have long been grateful to say that my past has afforded me exposure to many cultures, which I feel has shaped my understandings and tolerance that are inherent to my world view. As a potential commissioner, I seek to gain further exposure to our Native neighbors, their culture, and their needs as a community. I do not see the issue of race as a partisan one in any way. To view it as such is a setup for failure. I think it is reasonable to state that none of us had any say in how, where, nor what color we were born. Whether one is Black, White, Brown, Yellow, Red, Male , Female , or Other – we all need to find a way to work together to make the world a better place.
