David A. Bowers was the mayor of Roanoke, Virginia from 1992 to 2000. A Democrat, he was elected mayor after serving on the city council. Bowers' service as mayor fulfilled a lifelong ambition for the Roanoke native. He was also the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for the 6th Congressional District seat in 1998, losing to incumbent Republican Bob Goodlatte. Bowers is a lawyer who has continued to serve in private practice both during and after his term as mayor. Bowers attempted a comeback in the May 2, 2006, election for city council, but he finished in fourth place out of ten candidates in the race for three seats.
