Lack of Experience and Bad Judgement by Dowell

Christine Dowell has only lived on Marco Island 2 years yet she has called the Marco Police 18 times on 12 different neighbors, none of which were next to her home. She drives around our island like a self-appointed vigilante looking for trouble and burdening the police force with her unfounded complaints. She doesn’t represent the small-town culture of Marco Island and does not deserve the opportunity to represent us.

In one case, she called the police on a 20+ year resident of the island making false claims to the police. There were no violations. It was a resident hosting a birthday party for his cancer survivor wife, only to have the event disrupted when the police arrived. Dowell also had to be escorted out of a recent City Council meeting, for refusing to leave the podium after her time was up and she was repeatedly asked to sit down.

She is not the type of person we want representing Marco Island. There are better choices for city council. Her lack of knowledge of our community along with her vigilante behavior is not acceptable in a community where we pride ourselves on being good neighbors and a welcoming tourist destination. 

As you go to the polls remember these actions and don’t vote for Dowell.
