New Georgia Encyclopedia: Wyche Fowler (b. 1940) |
 | | Fowler ran for city council in 1970 under the banner "Night Mayor Runs for Alderman." At age twenty-nine and still in law school, he won his first bid for office, defeating a thirty-year incumbent. |
| | Fowler seemed to lack the same enthusiasm he had displayed in 1986, and some observers found the campaign devoid of a unifying theme. |
| | The substantial federal money Fowler had brought to Georgia and the work he had done in the Senate on such issues as health care, education, jobs, intelligence reform, the environment, alternative energies, and historical preservation seemed to matter little in the absence of his own personal zeal for the campaign. |
