Kathleen Flatley
Special Agent in Charge, US Secret Service [RET]



I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Mark Lowery for the position of County Judge, Hood County, Texas. I have known Mark for the past 30 years and can personally and professionally attest to his integrity, ethics, faith, values and strong moral compass. He brings dedication and honor to every aspect of his personal life and professional work.

Mark possesses a deep and unwavering commitment to truth and justice. Having served alongside Mark in the United States Secret Service, I can vouch for his exceptional leadership and compassion for the men and woman under his guidance. During his tenure, Mark successfully oversaw complex investigations, protective intelligence case work, and oversight of enterprise employee security clearance access. In addition, Mark's accomplishments include major event protective security assessments, and the protection of world leaders.

Mark held leadership positions in Secret Service Headquarters, Presidential Protective Division and field offices. Notability, Mark and was appointed Senior Executive Service as Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas District.

Mark will be an outstanding judge and holds a genuine passion for public service. I am confident that he will bring the same level of dedication, expertise, and enthusiasm to Hood County, as he did in government service. Mark makes thoughtful, fair decisions which are always in the best interests of everyone involved.

Mark will serve as County Judge with impartiality and wisdom. I am honored to call Mark Lowery, my friend and colleague. The people of Hood County will be well represented.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Flatley
