Gil Jones
Outgoing District 5 Las Cruces City Councilor Gil Jones says it’s not for him to analyze why he lost his re-election battle on Tuesday.
Progressive-backed candidates were successful in winning all three city council races on the ballot. Jones lost to Gill M. Sorg by about 30 percentage points.
“Everybody will have different opinions as to what transpired, and I don’t know that it’s for me to say,” Jones said.
“I’m going to miss my opportunity to work with my city councilors, the good staff of the city. … It’s been a pleasure to work with the public,” he said. “But how do we dissect this? I’m not sure that’s for me to say.”
