His professional experience includes owning a construction/development company, Ruidoso Mountain Builders, as a chiropractor, as a sports doctor for the All-African Games in 1995, as a chiropractor in the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, as Chef de Mission for the Mediterranean Games in 2001 and as co-Chef de Mission for the 2002 Olympics in Utah.[1]

Campaign themes

2014

Lowrance's campaign website highlighted the following priorities:[2]

I will uphold the Constitution of the United States

  • Excerpt: "The constitution is NOT a living document. The government we have today is a far cry from the government our forefathers envisioned. Our forefathers had a vision of independence. That vision has not changed for those of us living today. The constitution and its amendments are sacred and must be upheld and never changed. We must wage war on the liberal socialist agenda that has plagued our country for many years."

I will support Governor Martinez in:

  • Excerpt: "Pushing for Drug Testing for anyone on government subsidies. (Social Security and Medicare are NOT government subsidies.)"
  • Excerpt: "No driver’s licenses for illegals."

Water must be one of the top priorities on our agenda.

  • Excerpt: "I have already been in meetings with county commissioners of Lincoln and Otero counties. There are some interesting possibilities on the horizon. I will work diligently to make sure we have water for not only our present problems, but for our future needs."

I will fight to reduce the regulations that suffocate business

  • Excerpt: "I believe one person can make a difference! As a small business owner for most of my life, I realize the difficulties of the average New Mexican. I have witnessed first hand the poverty and impediments facing New Mexico. I believe the government has become too big. Its agencies place too many barriers for small business to thrive. Without the backbone of small business, New Mexico will continue to rank among the worst states in many categories."

I will stand against any new taxes and diligently find ways to lower taxes

  • Excerpt: "We have 100’s of businesses that deliver jobs to all of us. We need to stand behind those businesses while encouraging new business and job growth. Let’s proceed with the Governor’s Plan, and lower cooperate taxes… New Mexico is OPEN FOR BUSINESS. Let’s help New Mexico prosper."
