Activists host candidate forum, urge early voting

A group of activists from throughout Doña Ana County are making a bipartisan effort to encourage early voting on Saturday by hosting a forum for local candidates and offering rides to polling places in a limousine.

The forum will be held from noon to 5 p.m. at the Dream Center, 1400 6th Street in Las Cruces. From there, anyone who wants will be given rides to early voting sites in a limo.

No single group is sponsoring the event, said Arturo Uribe, a south-county activist who is helping organize the event. He said individuals and groups from throughout the county are coming together to donate money and time to make the event a success.

For more information, call Uribe at (575) 233-3084 or (575) 621-0268.

Two other forums for local candidates will be held Friday and Saturday. Click here for info.
