Phillips has strong lead in LCPS District 4 race

Connie Phillips has an early but commanding lead in the Las Cruces Public Schools District 5 race.

At Highland Elementary School – one of five polling places in the district – 174 votes were cast today. Phillips received 140 of those votes, or 80 percent. David Morgan received 21 votes, or 12 percent, and incumbent Sharon Wooden received 13 votes, or just under 8 percent.

“That’s very good news,” Phillips said.

I don’t yet have results from the other polling places, other districts, or early voting totals.
