County Dems to host forums for primary candidates

Two upcoming forums will allow Doña Ana County Democrats to compare candidates who will appear on the ballot on June 3.

On May 30 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Democratic Party of Doña Ana County will host a forum for state Senate and House and magistrate judge candidates. On May 31 from 10 a.m. to noon, the party will host a forum for candidates for county clerk, treasurer and commissioner.

Both forums will be held at the party’s headquarters, 139 North Downtown Mall in Las Cruces. It’s the old Popular Dry Goods building, and the entrance is on the north end at the corner of Water Street and Organ Avenue.

Any registered Democrat in the county can submit questions for the candidates to Melinda Whitley, chair of the county party, at P.O. Box 16144, Las Cruces, NM, 88004-6144 or by e-mail to whitleylaw@zianet.com.
