About Michael Estève
A lifelong resident with a love of service.
I’m a lifelong Bowie resident, raised by a Prince George’s County Public School teacher and a U.S. Army officer.
I graduated from DeMatha and Loyola University Maryland, am a proud Eagle Scout, and longtime Wounded Warrior Project, University of Maryland Medical System, and Special Olympics volunteer.
I started working in local politics at age 15 for State Senator Douglas J.J. Peters and have been involved in public service ever since.
After college, I worked as a loan officer serving families and small businesses in and around Bowie. I was elected to the City Council in 2015 and moved into the non-profit sector during the day, working for a group that advocates for kids and adults with intellectual disabilities. Most recently, I served as Deputy Communications Director for a large state agency.
No Excuses. Real Results.
In 2015, I was elected the youngest member of the Bowie City Council. In my 10 years serving District 1, I never missed a meeting or vote, and with my council colleagues led the work to:
✓ Improve city communications
✓ Preserve hundreds of acres of green space
✓ Stop a Maglev displacing Bowie neighborhoods
✓ Establish new local parks and trails
✓ Pilot a safe streets program to fight speeding
✓ Protect Bowie’s AAA bond rating
In 2026, I was elected Mayor in a special election, winning over 50% of the vote in an eight-way race.
