“Thank you for the opportunity to speak on behalf of an incredible leader and a dedicated public servant, who we lost yesterday. Mark Lowery committed much of his life to serving Arkansans as an elected official, educator, and journalist. During his time as State representative for 10 years, he had Arkansas youth and families top of mind. He brought significant reforms to the education system and fought hard for fairness in elections. Most recently, he was elected the Arkansas State treasurer. Although Mark will be deeply missed, his legacy lives on. My prayers are with Mark's family and friends as they navigate this incredibly sad and difficult time. I offer them my sincere condolences. My hope is that we can all find solace in knowing Arkansas is better off because of Mark Lowery's dedicated work for the people of Arkansas. ____________________”
