                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 7, 2025

  Mr. MURPHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of Mr. David 
``Dave'' Fowler, who dedicated much of his life to serving the people 
of North Carolina. Dave was raised in Greenville and after his 
graduation from Western Carolina University, stayed in Jackson County 
to work in the local community.
  Dave started his career as an educator in Jackson County in the 
public school system, where his efforts inspired the next generation of 
learners. His desire to serve the public good took him to work for the 
Jackson County Government. He also assumed numerous volunteer roles 
including acting as the Chair of the County Board of Elections and 
Chairman of the Jackson County Republican Party.
  After Dave and his wife, Wanda, resettled in Eastern North Carolina, 
and in his role as a servant leader, he represented his community as a 
dedicated member of the Noon Rotary Club. Given his dedication and 
civic minded competence, he was appointed to the Coastal Regional Solid 
Waste Authority and the Carteret County Board of Equalization and 
Review. Given his desire to also lead in the political arena, he was 
later elected as Chairman of the Carteret County Republican Party. His 
election as a Carteret County Commissioner further paved the way for 
his later roles as Town Commissioner and, ultimately, Mayor of Cape 
Carteret. Dave's commitment and service to his communities is 
remembered for his selfless desire to better his community and serve 
all his constituents. His service has led many Eastern North 
Carolinians to live a better life with a brighter future.
  Mr. Speaker please join me in remembering Mr. David ``Dave'' Fowler's 
life and legacy.
