Former councilman David Bauer, one of the most active and dedicated persons to ever serve on the Common Council, failed to win reelection.  During his four terms in office, Bower served on the Finance and Government Operations Commission, the Public Works Commission (which conducted the first study in years of city parks, trails and open spaces), Water Polliution Control Authority (where he and councilman Hope Kasper worked to promote water and sewer options for the Middle Street area), the Mattabassett District Board and several other committees.

Outside of his council duties, David hosts a radio show Mondays on WESU featuring matters of public interest that affect greater Middletown.  He also hosts a show on Comcast Cable Television Channel 15.  He is an amateur photographer and has shown his photographs at the Buttonwood Tree.
