Bowman provided the following responses to Ballotpedia's survey of port commission candidates:

“

What about your professional experience should encourage voters to select you for the commission?
I have worked as the Port of Seattle Commissioner for the past three years achieving success in combining the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, as well as tripling the number of youth job training opportunities through internships partnered with Seattle Public Schools. During my time in office I have invested in local communities by creating a countrywide economic development program that provides recourse for every city to invest in local projects.

Focusing on the environment, I have spearheaded numerous efforts to expand environmental initiatives at Sea-Tac international Airport to reduce the carb footprint of airport operations.

Identify one public figure, past or present, whom you admire.
Bowman did not provide a response to this question.
