Special Offer

  Any contribution would be greatly appreciated, but I am offering a gift certificate to anyone who contributes $200.00 or more to my campaign, while supplies last. I have gift certificates ranging from $10-$30 from various food and retail businesses around the Shreveport-Bossier area.

  Are you ready to be represented by someone who understands your realities and daily struggles?
  Welcome to my campaign web site. I decided to run for office for two main reasons. 1. If we keep sending the same type of people to Congress we will keep getting the same results. 2. I have always loved my country and my state and since Hurricane Katrina I have an even deeper appreciation of the things about Louisiana that are so unique. I want to help preserve these things and make Louisiana even better for our future generations.
  I don’t have political connections, I don’t have deep pockets, and I don’t have political “experience”. Some people will have you believe that these things make me a poor choice as your Congressman, however, to you and I it means that I owe no one any favors, my loyalties are to my convictions and my only obligation is to the people of Louisiana.
  Please consider helping me win this election by volunteering or donating. I pledge to use your funds frugally and conservatively. This is the same mentality I will use to protect your tax dollars from being overspent. I will always look for ways to save as much as possible. But even the most conservative of campaigns needs at least a few thousand dollars to get the word out. I can’t get elected if no one knows that I am running. It costs about $50.00 to run a single 30 sec. radio commercial, and we all know how much I could spend on gas to travel around the 13 parish area that makes up Congressional District 4. You can follow the donate link to contribute, any amount would be greatly appreciated. Please join me in our efforts to provide Louisiana with a Congressman that understands you because I am you and I will be your voice.

Sincerely,
Gerard J. Bowen Jr.

Breaking News:


  After previously announcing that I was running as a republican, I’ve now decided, after careful prayer and consideration and lengthy discussions with my wife, supporters, and potential-supporters, to run in this race as an Independent. I realize that this may ruffle a few feathers of some, but I feel that the vast majority will understand. There were several factors that led to this decision. What is important to note here is that you will NOT see my name on the September 6th party primary ballot nor the October 4 party runoff ballot. I WILL be on the ballot for the November 4 General Election. (please see press release regarding this subject for more on the reasons why).
