Bert Cunningham
By BARBARA GREEN
Why would someone who could easily move into retirement from a highly successful career running his own business want to jump head first into a new career in the rough and tumble world of city politics?
Bert Cunningham, who has accepted the job as Bowie city manager, says he wants to help fix the problems in his hometown.
While he has operated his own business for more than 40 years this 70-year-old is no stranger to small town politics. A former mayor, city council member and longtime member of Bowie Economic Development Corporation he has a passion for government and a desire to see his community thrive and develop.
“I can handle the rough and tumble, but I wanted to get into it because I saw the problems of the three previous administrations and they need to be fixed,” he said.
