Bay Area Houston

City Councilman Joe Compian and his challenger Sade Williams will be in a run off for La Marque City Council District B. Both received 56 votes. The runoff will be sometime in June. Compian, a sitting Councilman, only received 35% of the vote with 65% of all voters supporting someone else. The next election will be between two candidates, not four. This should concern Compian. If I was going to advise Compian I would tell him to put some distance between himself and Councilman Lowry. As I have said in the past Lowry and his wife are as popular as herpes at a hot tub party. Speaking of his wife…

La Marque has a runoff in June, but on May 2 voters ran off Sarah Lowry, the wife of Councilman Joseph Lowry. Lowry was a candidate for District D and was crushed by 53 points with 55 voters in District D voting for her. 55?!?!? Really? Getting runoff by 53 points is sad but getting 55 votes for someone with the baggage of her husband’s child like attitude is really sad!

But the good news is that Tonia Griffin returns to Council. Good luck to Compian and Williams in the runoff.

It’s Joseph Lowry. Again in an expletive exchange with a citizen.

You can watch the videos of Lowry and his wife approaching Harvey Freebird, a 1st Amendment Auditor. Decide for yourself if this man and wife are worthy of being elected officials. Joseph is currently on city council. His wife is running for council. That election is May 2. She puts her two cents in the third video. This is not the first time he was recorded spewing profanity. Actually this isn’t even the second time. It is his third. From Galveston County Daily News:

Some on city council say Councilman Joseph Lowry failed to embody the spirit of his constituents Monday night when he was caught on camera hurling insults, obscene gestures and threatening to fight a man who was recording police at a crash scene.

He then attacked a reporter from the Houston Chronicle after being questioned about $43,000 in back taxes that he failed to pay. He eventually paid most of his taxes but he has been sued again for back taxes, case # 26-TX-0085.

“I don’t owe anybody any money,” councilman Joseph Lowry said to the Galveston County Daily News. “But good job. You’re a piece of s—. You’re a f—— maggot. And you’ll get what’s coming to you.”

And once again, he has been caught on video. These are posted to Facebook:

Part 3:

BTW. Lowry does NOT like people who impersonate others online such as Derrick Miller in Texas City who was charged with creating a fake Joseph Lowry Facebook page. All charges were eventually dropped. Let’s connect some dots.

Filing fake DBA’s. In October of 2025 I wrote “La Marque Councilman Files Suspicious DBAs” about Joseph Lowry filing an official county document “Assumed Name Record Certificate of Ownership for Unincorporated Business or Profession”, in other words, a DBA (Doing Business As). He filed two DBA’s. One under K Yancy (as in Councilman Kimberly Yancy) and one under M Salazar (as in Mandalynn Salazar). He filed both of these on 2/24/22. Lowry has a history of harassing both of these individuals.

Filing a Tax Rollback petition and PAC. In early 2022 Lowry filed a tax rollback petition. Also during that time an employee of his, Sarah Daugherty, now his wife, created a Political Action Committee titled Galveston County Connects PAC (Filer ID 00086188) to raise money for the rollback effort. What is interesting is that Mandalynn Salazar had created a Facebook page conveniently titled Galveston County Connects in June of 2019. It seems that Lowry did this on purpose to hijack her page.

Raising Money. During the tax recall drive Galveston County Connects PAC raised about $11,000. $5000 came from MSW Investment Group and $5,000 came from former Council Member Robert Michetich. Filing DBA’s with someone else’s name and without the consent of the individual is against the law. Intentionally or knowingly filing a fraudulent official document with the county is against the law. (see pic to the left) Salazar filed a complaint with the police concerning the fraudulent DBA.

Using the DBAs of K Yancy and/or M Salazar to raise money is against the law. Creating a PAC that just so happens to look like an active Facebook page to raise money may be cute, and funny, but coupled with the above, might be quite interesting to County Officials. What it looks like is that Lowry was attempting to confuse voters claiming K Yancy, M Salazar, and Salazar’s Facebook group was in support of the tax rollback. Is that legal?

Come on La Marque voters. You are better than this.

There are two City Council Members up for reelection, Council Members Joe Compian and Tonia Griffin. Compian is challenged by Felix Brown, Jody Richards, and Sade Williamsby. Council Member Griffin is being challenged by Sarah Lowry, yes, that Sarah Lowry, bride of Chucky Council Member Joseph Lowry.

As of today only Griffin has filed a campaign finance report. Those reports are posted on the La Marque website. Reports are required even if you are self financing. There are few exceptions for not filing.

Lowry hasn’t filed but has spent money on some of the worst campaign signs ever made in direct violation of Campaign Signs 101. Besides have a gawd awful sign the citizens of La Marque need stability and restored faith in their government. Lowry will just bring more chaos to the Council sitting next to her fucked up husband, Joseph Lowry. Joseph should be run out of office and Sarah should not be running for office. Both are not qualified to represent the citizens of La Marque and both are just filthy human beings. Her running on god, faith, and family is just fucked up.

La Marque, you can do better. Don’t fuel the chaos. Elect an adult.

Anyone want to attend? Harris County Civil Courthouse 333rd Court 201 Caroline St 14th floor, Houston, TX 77002. I would expect the first day will be for seating a jury and other overhead. (I’ll find out more tomorrow)

The Civil Case #202107817 TOMCZAK, MARTIN vs. SIX BROTHERS CONCRETE PUMPING LLC filed in Harris County  concerns a non compete clause signed by Martin Tomczak. According to the court documents Martin claims Lowry threatened him and potential employers with lawsuits based upon this non compete document leaving Tomczak unemployed. One of the documents submitted to the court is a list of texts and correspondence from Lowry. You can read the entire 27 pages here. 

It’s getting old.

Galveston County has filed another lawsuit against La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry for unpaid taxes. The case # 26-TX-0085 seeks over due taxes for 2024 of $11,474.03. He is also delinquent on his 2025 taxes for a total of $14,608.15. Recently Lowry paid for a large poster to harass a local activist but can’t seem to find money to pay his damn taxes like everyone else does.

This isn’t the first time he has been sued for back taxes. Last year a suit was finally dropped after he paid for his 2021, 2022, and 2023 taxes for over $22,000. He has had liens against his property by the City, State, and the IRS. In an interview with Ch 13 he claimed he owned no back taxes. which was not true. Things aren’t going well for Lowry. His Facebook pages have been removed. His Lousy News Network has been deactivated, and he isn’t a Texas Ranger. Womp Womp.

My bet is he is getting his ass sued.

La Marque City Councilman Chicken Little Lowry has had his Facebook page LowryNewsNetwork removed. His so-called independent news outlet, LowryNewsNetwork.press has also become inactive. . I’ve seen this before. My guess he is being sued by a number of possible individuals and has been told to preserve all content on his Lousy News Network. He hasn’t posted anything since early January and he hasn’t removed comments left by anonymous visitors such as this one below.

This is the second time Facebook has removed his site probably due to his constant harassment and baseless allegations of criminal activity by members of City Council and city employees. Or maybe it was his sexual harassment of city employees. Or maybe the empty threats of legal action against various individuals, including me. By the way, after last Monday’s council meeting Lowry issued another empty threat to City employees. Much like the threats he made to the Texas City employees who were no billed in their felony charges of impersonating Lowry. You can see the email he sent below.

As I have said before. Lowry is like a constipated two year old. He is full of shit and he ain’t gonna do shit.

At a time when the city can least afford it.

Once again it is Council Member Joseph Lowry. Lowry continues to run around like Chicken Little with his baseless allegations of criminal activity against elected officials and La Marque employees. In his recent “Facebook Live” video, where he looks like bum in a wife beater shirt, Lowry again alleges the Deputy City Clerk is a criminal and is leaving her position. City Council Members probably can’t file suit because of their office but city employees can and probably will.

If she is really leaving I smell a lawsuit coming against Lowry for harassment and workplace hostility. Unfortunately that suit might also target the City at a time when the taxpayers can least afford it, literally. While everyone on Council and employees are working to restore La Marque’s financial security, Lowry is running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off talking out his ass and making empty threats against the City, the Mayor, Council Members, city staff, Texas City staff, and anyone else he can. (Including me) Yet he never follows through. He probably has a direct line into the La Marque Police Department so he can file baseless complaints. So far nothing has stuck.

BTW. Lowry is facing a lawsuit from multiple people with a court date in May. He also has a suit in Harris County with a court date coming soon. It will be fun to watch Lowry take the stand under oath.

I think it is going to be great ass kicking.

Well it looks like the only person actually breaking or bending the law is Council Member Joseph Lowry.

Lowry still owes taxes for 2024 and 2025 and he recently paid off liens against his company by the IRS and the State. This is a sitting Council Member, one that runs around calling everyone a criminal. It’s getting old. Now his wife is running for City Council, or so he says. He has enough money to run a campaign but not enough to pay his damn taxes.
