made public, as well as Ms. Jordan, to let
them know about my decision, the fact that
I had to make it and how I got there. I don’t
have any idea about what Mr. Stephens is
referring to as a violation.”
Stephens wasn’t the only candidate to
raise concerns. Candidate Kevin Dillard
[Ward 3] stated at the Feb. 12 meeting that
a letter had been sent to his employer by
Bowlin requesting that Dillard cease his
candidacy.
“The mayor, through his attorney, sent a
legally threatening letter to my employer
about a week after I filed my papers to run,
demanding that I cease making comments
critical about him and his administration,”
Dillard said. “The letter also demanded
that I cease running for city council, as
doing so, and I paraphrase, will practically
assure that further additional critical statements
will be made about his administration.”
Dillard said he was not informed as to
what statements could have prompted the
letter.
“While I wish it was the case that I could
spend more time and energy talking about
the need for a Village Green, the need for
responsible and citizen-driven economic
development and following the Master
Plan, among other such issues, the issue of

official abuse of power is quickly rising in
importance,” Dillard said.
Dillard is employed as an attorney for
a healthcare organization that previously
employed Bowlin.
According to Bowlin, the specifics of the
letter weren’t discussed due to an ongoing
confidentiality agreement.
“I thought that it was an unfortunate outburst,
and what occurred was a potential
breach of an existing confidentiality agreement
with one of my former employers,”
Bowlin said. “Because that agreement is
in place, I must honor that agreement and
can’t speak to specifics. What I can say is
that I have no intention of having an impact
on who decides to run for office. I specifically
delayed having the letter he referenced
sent until after filing for the election
had closed, and the ballot form had been
submitted to St. Louis County, so it’s just
not the case that there was any effort to
deter someone from running for office.”
The evening also saw concern from
residents regarding the involvement of two
local political organizations: We Are Wildwood
and the Progress for Wildwood PAC.
Rull and Meinert are endorsed by Progress
for Wildwood, which also is supported by
Bowlin. In reply to an inquiry by Shea, Rull
said he accepted no campaign funds from
the PAC, while Meinert said he accepted
$300, which is the contribution limit.
