Thank you for your interest in El Paso County's Precinct #3! We hope this newsletter provides you with helpful information about our diverse and growing precinct. Although this newsletter is published once per month, you can always learn about what is going on in the precinct by following Commissioner Holguin on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

Happy 4th of July,

El Paso!

Happy 4th of July, El Paso! As we celebrate our country’s independence, please remember the values that make us the greatest country in the world: equality, inclusion and justice for all. I hope everyone had a safe holiday!

Fabens Airport Hangar Expansion

The Fabens Airport has been an important part of the Fabens community for decades. In July, we broke ground on a project to build more hangars at the airport, which will allow us to provide more services to local pilots and the agriculture industry, as well as allow our collaboration with UTEP to grow for the benefit of all local students. A special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Olivas for all of the love and care they’ve given to the airport throughout the years!

ESD#2's New Fire Station in Fabens

Congratulations to ESD#2 on the grand opening of their new fire station in Fabens! Our firefighters now have the state-of-the-art facility that they need to keep Fabens safe! Thank you for all that you do!

New Wastewater Projects in Pct. #3

This past July, El Paso County celebrated a very exciting event in our community! I am proud to announce the beginning of construction on four new wastewater projects that will result in sewer connections for hundreds of families thanks to funding from the American Rescue Plan Act!

Kids v. Lawyers Chess Tournament

It was wonderful to host the Kids v. Lawyers Chess Tournament at the County Courthouse! Congratulations to all of the kids who participated and a huge thank you to all of the lawyers who came out to play with them!

Fabens Pool Party

Thank you to everyone who donated to make our 3rd Annual Fabens Pool Party a huge success! Because of everyone’s efforts, 200 Fabens children were able to enjoy the pool, eat great food, and have tons of fun before the start of the next school year! Thank you to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Peter J. Herrera Patrol Station, Constable Pct. 6 Javier Garcia, Fabens Veterans Park Committee, Fabens Neighborhood Association, County Judge Ricardo Samaniego, ESD #2, Fabens Quick Lube, La Hacienda Adult Day Care, Carrera’s Groceries, Pop’s Better Burgers and Greenbacks Financial Services!

Catholic Diocese of El Paso’s 25th Annual Volleyball Tournament

It was wonderful to see so many teens and young adults participating in the Catholic Diocese of El Paso’s 25th annual parish volleyball tournament! Thank you to all of the priests who came out to cheer on the youth from their parishes, especially Father Fabian Marquez for helping to organize this event for 10 years!
