Governor Kay Ivey on Monday appointed Anthony Lowery as sheriff of Baldwin County. He will replace Sheriff Hoss Mack, who is leaving office to serve as chairman of the Alabama Sheriffs Association.
“Baldwin County continues to serve its residents and welcome record numbers of visitors each year, and we are proud to make it a safe place to live, work and visit,” Ivey said. “Sheriff Hoss Mack leaves big shoes to fill, but I am confident Anthony is more than ready to take the lead.”
Lowery is currently a deputy sheriff with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office and has worked for the office for nearly 20 years. He is a graduate of Auburn University, the FBI National Academy, and an FBI Law Enforcement Development Session.

“I want to thank Governor Ivey and her staff for this appointment,” Lowery said. “It is a great honor for her to call me this morning and tell me the news. I also want to thank Sheriff Mack and all the men and women of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office for their support in this process. I look forward to serving the people of Baldwin County.”
Lowery’s appointment will be effective September 1.
