Muriel Elizabeth Bowser is an American politician serving as the eighth mayor of the District of Columbia since 2015. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously represented Ward 4 as a member of the Council of the District of Columbia from 2007 to 2015.

Elected to the Advisory Neighborhood Commission in 2004, Bowser was elected to the council in a special election in 2007, to succeed Adrian Fenty, who had been elected Mayor. She was reelected in 2008 and 2012 and ran for mayor in the 2014 election. She defeated incumbent mayor Vincent C. Gray in the Democratic primary and won the general election against three Independent and two minor party candidates with 55% of the vote. In 2018, she won a second term with 76% of the vote.

Early life and education

The youngest of six children of Joe and Joan Bowser,  Bowser was born in Washington, and grew up in North Michigan Park in northeast D.C.  In 1990, she graduated from Elizabeth Seton High School, a private all-girls Catholic high school located in Bladensburg, Maryland. She received a college scholarship due to her above average grades. Bowser graduated from Chatham College in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a bachelor’s degree in history, and she graduated from the American University School of Public Affairs with a Masters in Public Policy.  In 2015, she bought a home in Colonial Village, moving from a Riggs Park duplex  where she had lived since 2000.  She is a lifelong Catholic.[10] Bowser says she never envisioned herself as a politician or mayor, but possibly as an agency administrator.
