Bay Area Houston

It’s Lowry. Again.

Joseph Lowry might be in a pickle. Ever since becoming politically active in La Marque he has been nothing but a pain in the ass for the city. I am sure many would love to see him resign from Council ending a period of embarrassment for the city. Resigning to stop any further digging into his past is the easy thing to do but do not count on it. Unfortunately another document filed with the King County Court might add fuel to the firing of Lowry.

Quick Background:
When Lowry applied to run for City Council in 2024 he checked the box “I have not been finally convicted of a felony.” That isn’t exactly true. He pled guilty to two separate felonies concerning the possession of meth in Washington State. He should have checked the box  “I have been finally convicted of a felony, but I have been pardoned or otherwise released from the resulting disabilities of that felony conviction and I have provided proof of this fact with the submission of this application” and then provided the proof. If he had checked the second one he would have had to provide a copy of the proof, but according to the following document he couldn’t.

New Damning Evidence:
This new document, “STATE’S MOTION AND ORDER VACATING AND DISMISSING JUDGMENT AND SENTENCE FOR POSSESSION-ONLY OFFENSE(S) PURSUANT TO STATE V. BLAKE” was filed with King County Washington CASE #: 99-1-08852-9 KNT but it was filed in May of 2025, a full year AFTER he was elected. What I do not understand, because I am not an undercover investigation reporter or an attorney, is why this is not signed? Why was it posted in early May of 2025? Maybe it is because the question about his eligibility was called into question at an April 28, 2025 meeting. You can watch the meeting here starting at 2:21:38.

Past Evidence:
Now realized in 2021 he had a document posted to his case titled “ORDER VACATING THE JUDGEMENT UNDER CrR 7.8 AND DISMISSING THE CASE PURSUANT TO STATE V. BLAKE”. This one is signed and was filed 3 years prior to Lowry’s election.

In Conclusion:
So what does all this mean? That is a good question and I’m just asking questions. I am going to speculate here. This unsigned document is a motion to vacate and dismiss his case which will be signed at a later date. Once signed it will be posted. I wonder if Lowry, after the April 28th meeting, realized his “vacation” wasn’t actually finalized and then petitioned King County to do so.

As I said, this will probably end up in court.
