About Bill Bowles

I am the oldest of five children, was raised in Hudson, MA, and grew up on a small eight acre farm where I learned the value of hard work starting at a very young age.

I graduated from Hudson High School in 1967, and joined the Army. My training was in Helicopter maintenance. Following this training, I was deployed to Vietnam for one year, where I was a Crew Chief on a UH-1 Huey Helicopter, and served as door gunner where I logged over 1,000 flight hours. After my tour of duty, I then served as an instructor on Helicopter maintenance until my honorable discharge in 1970 as an E-5.

I have a son and two wonderful grandchildren. I moved into the Attleboro area in 1973.

I graduated from Wentworth Institute in 1972, and then graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelor Degree in Electronic Engineering in 1976. I have worked for a number of Massachusetts companies in a variety of positions of increased responsibility. I have also taken several Management, Business, Finance, and Statistics courses as my career moved more in the management direction. I have worked for Raytheon Company for 20 years, and currently have Quality Management responsibilities, including technical and financial performance.

I have always cared deeply about my community, and first entered the political arena in 1990. In 1993, I was first elected as an Attleboro At Large City Councilor, and have a solid record of accomplishments with my 13 years of service. I am well known for my advocacy of the taxpayers by keeping costs and fees reasonable. I have successfully sponsored several water, sewer, and trash fee reductions, as well as cuts in wasteful spending. I have always been a solid supporter of education, Public Safety, and Recreation. I am also not afraid to tackle tough issues to benefit the citizens of Attleboro.
