Lowe was sergeant at arms at the 1980 [[Republican National Convention]] in [[Detroit]], [[Michigan]]. The Arkansas delegation included [[Ada Mills]] of Clarksville, who had received national attention for having been the only delegate in the country initially committed to former Governor [[John Connally|John B. Connally, Jr.]], of Texas for the presidential nomination that year. As state party chairman, Lowe had been technically neutral at the convention, but Lowe and the entire Arkansas delegation routinely voted to nominate [[Ronald W. Reagan]], who would then tap [[George Herbert Walker Bush]] of Texas as his vice-presidential choice.<ref>''Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report,'' July 12, 1980, p. 1928.</ref>
