In 2015, Fowler was criticized by media outlets and fellow members of the Virginia Assembly for sharing a meme on social media that some considered racist.[2]

During the 2019 session of the Virginia General Assembly, Fowler voted to "pass by indefinitely" the Equal Rights Amendment while it was in a House Privileges and Elections sub-committee.[3] This vote prevented the resolution from being considered or voted on by the full committee and effectively ended the resolutions progress through the House of Delegates for the remained of the session.

In September 2019, Fowler accepted a campaign contribution from the low-speed internet service provider CenturyLink, the only wired internet service provider that provides service to most parts of rural Hanover County. Most of rural Hanover County lacks high-speed internet access and since taking office Fowler has taken no actions to remedy that.
