Elected Official of the Year

I was very surprised and honored to have been recognized as the Elected Official of the Year at the annual meeting of the Rio Grande Council of Governments! It is a very special honor for me because I was recognized for the work that I do to make sure that the unincorporated and rural areas of the county have access to the same services and opportunities as everyone else. Thank you, RGCOG!

A very special thank you to everyone who works hard every day to protect workers’ rights! It was wonderful to see so many labor supporters at this past month’s Central Labor Union Labor Day Breakfast after so many years of not being able to come together to celebrate this wonderful day!

Mission Trail Association

The Mission Trail Association held a ceremony this past September to present a check for roof repairs to the Socorro Mission. The funds were raised as part of the Mission Trail Specialty License Plate program, which raises funds for the restoration of the three missions on the Mission Trail. Thank you to the Mission Trail Association for these much-needed funds!

Bicultural History Conference

Thank you to Pistoleros del Adobe in San Elizario and to the Moonlight Adobe Hall in Socorro for hosting this year’s Bicultural History Conference! This two-day event was filled with lots of information and so many awesome activities! Thank you to the Cultural Heritage Society for another great conference!

Christmas Trails for Toys Fundraiser

I am truly grateful to everyone who donated to this year’s Christmas Trails for Toys fundraiser! And a very warm thank you to everybody that participated in the car show! Thank you, Margie and Marie for all of the incredible work that you do to help children in our community!

Safety Fair in Tornillo

Thank you to all of the organizations that participated in the Safety Fair held at Tornillo Intermediate School this past September! A very special thank you to the County’s Animal Welfare Department, University Medical Center and the Public Health Department of the City of El Paso!
