Jack Bowman

Jack Marcus Bowman (born June 12, 1974) is a Constitutionalist Carolinian Senator from the state of Mississippi.

Born in Chaumont, Mississippi in 1974, Bowman grew up to middle-class parents, however, attended Sacred Heart Catholic School with the help of a scholarship. Bowman later attended the Mississippi State University for his Bachelor's of Arts and then Tulane University in New Orleans for law school. Bowman returned to Chaumont following law school and worked as a lawyer for the city government. In 2004 he ran for Mississippi state senate as a Democrat, however, was set apart from his center-right colleagues because of his more aggressive conservative nature. In 2014 he returned to his original party, the Constitution Party, and subsequently ran for Senate in 2016 as a Constitutionalist. In his short time in office, he has been vocally against gay marriage in Carolina and has opposed Democratic President Nikki Haley.

Controversies
On October 9, 2018, Bowman made several controversial remarks regarding the 2018 Barcelona Terror Attacks at a campaign rally in Biloxi. During the rally, Bowman said that he believed the attacks were a punishment from God against the Aranese for removing God from their government and society. He went on to say that he had prayed that further attacks against the Aranese would occur, and speculated that the same would happen to Carolina should Progressives win a majority in either house of Congress in 2018. The comments were met with harsh criticism from all three parties, including President Nikki Haley. Bowman has refused to apologize for the statements.
