Press Releases

Congressman Steve Womack released the below statement on the sudden passing of Lowell Chief of Police, Joe Landers. Landers died this morning after suffering injuries from a motorcycle accident last week in Panama City, Florida.

    “I’m saddened to learn of Chief Landers’ passing. He was an example of the quality and dedication of those committed to public service. His impact on law enforcement and his community was felt throughout the region, and he was one of those people who made Northwest Arkansas such a special place.

    “Today, I join the people of Northwest Arkansas as we say goodbye to both a friend and a leader. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Landers family at this time. Joe will be sorely missed.”
