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!
ALWAYS remembered, NEVER forgotten!
This month’s memorial events in remembrance of the 23 victims of the August 3rd Wal-Mart massacre were beautiful and deeply moving. Thank you to Border Network for Human Rights for reminding us that we must never stop fighting against racism, hatred and xenophobia. Thank you to all County of El Paso staff for our beautiful Healing Garden and to County Judge Samaniego for reminding us that we must never forget to honor the memories of the 23 innocent lives lost.
Horizon View Estates
Thank you to the residents of Horizon View Estates, volunteers from DECorp., JPD volunteers and our own Public Works Department for coming out to finish cleaning up the site of the new park! It looks beautiful!!
El Paso County continues to work hard for our communities!
One of the accomplishments that I will always be most proud of is bringing a park to a community that had been asking for one for over 30 years. Thank you to Horizon Communities Improvement Association for donating the land for the park, to the County’s Parks Department for working so hard to secure funding for the park, and to the County’s Public Works Department for removing all of the weeds, brush and trash. Most of all, thank you to the residents of Horizon View Estates for never giving up hope for their park! I can't wait until we are able to start construction!
School Supply Giveaway at
Escontrias Elementary School
Thank you Rep. Rudy Cruz for organizing this year’s school supply giveaway at Escontrias Elementary School in Socorro, TX! We are truly grateful for our incredible community partners Constable Javier Garcia, and Revive Mobile Health, as well as everyone else who donated supplies and food for this event! A special thanks goes out to Escontrias Principal Jesse Aguirre for giving us the opportunity to visit with and meet his incredible students!

Visiting Precinct 3
We were blessed with beautiful weather for a kermes this past month! Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us at San Lorenzo Catholic Church Kermes in Clint! I appreciate everyone who took the time to stop by to say hello. And a special thank you to everyone who took the opportunity to register to vote. If you didn't get a chance to try the gorditas, you'll have to join us next year!
Thank you to the Ysleta High School Alumni Association for organizing so many wonderful events in celebration of Ysleta’s 95th anniversary! This year's celebratory dinner and dance were so much fun! It was truly my honor to present a resolution in Commissioners Court celebrating such a momentous occasion!
