Honk if you like democracy
Tim Adams waves to a passing car that greeted him with honks in front of Bowie City Hall the day after he won the city’s mayoral election. Adams, who founded Department of Defense contractor Systems Application & Technologies, Inc. three decades ago, is Bowie’s first black mayor. “It’s something that should be inspirational for many, considering where Bowie’s history started,” Adams said. “But I think it also is a moment where we have to reflect and say, you know we’re still talking about the first, and it’s 2019.” This is the first elected office Adams will hold.
