A former Mesilla town clerk has announced her candidacy for Doña Ana County clerk.
Yolanda G. Lucero, a native of the area, owns and manages residential and commercial properties throughout the county. She was the Mesilla town clerk from 1978-1982.
“Dona Ana County residents expect their elected officials to be fair and ethical; I too believe that government should serve the people openly and maintain integrity in the election process,” the Democrat said in a news release announcing her candidacy. “I will work diligently for the voters and residents of this county who look to the county clerk’s office for the many services it provides.”
Lucero attended New Mexico State University from 1991-1993. She was born and raised in Old Mesilla and is the daughter of the late Andres “Nick” Lucero and the late Magdalena Gamboa Lucero of Mesilla. She has nine grandchildren from three sons – Frank, who is currently serving in the Air Force; Michael, who is active New Mexico National Guard; and Rudy Acosta; who is a local business owner.
