"I just wanted to show that there is life after being quadded," quipped Bowles, a former Quadling, to lead off the night's "Pizza and Politics" discussion which attracted an audience of 25.
Bowles, 30, was 29 when he began his uphill battle for Massachusetts' District 10 congressional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
A underdog from the start, Bowles garnered 23 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary held Sept. 17, finishing second in a district which includes Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and other coastal islands.
"I grew up on the Cape, and that seat had been occupied by the same man for 24 years," said Bowles. "When it finally came open I said to myself, "When else will that seat be open and there will be no Kennedys running?'"
Bowles offered guidance to a crowd full of political aspirants.
