ST. PETERSBURG — City Council member Lisa Wheeler-Bowman resigned Thursday after she was accused of not living in the district she represents, a violation of the city charter.

Council chairperson Gina Driscoll announced Wheeler-Bowman’s resignation late Thursday shortly after former mayoral candidate Vince Nowicki made the accusation.

Wheeler-Bowman has represented District 7, which includes southern St. Petersburg neighborhoods of Childs Park and Bear Creek, since 2015. She was in her second term, which ends in 2024.

Nowicki appeared at the City Council meeting Thursday to level the claim against Wheeler-Bowman. He noted that she purchased a house in July in District 6 with a Veterans Affairs loan, which requires the home to be the buyer’s primary residence. Nowicki also filed a written complaint with the council. Read more: https://www.tampabay.com/news/st-petersburg/2022/09/16/st-petersburg-city-council-member-lisa-wheeler-bowman-resigns/
