U.S. Rep. Harry Teague had a ceremonial swearing-in on Saturday in Las Cruces to commemorate the opening of his third office in the 2nd Congressional District.
The Democrat’s open house was attended by more than 100 people, according to a news release from his office. Teague was sworn in by state District Judge Jim T. Martin.
“Every day that I am in Washington I work hard for the people of Doña Ana County and southern New Mexico, so it was important for me to come back and share my swearing-in with the people I represent,” Teague said in a news release. “Having an open and accessible office is a top priority for me. … I want people to know they can stop by anytime when they have an issue or just to visit.”
Teague’s Las Cruces office is located at 135 W. Griggs Ave. He also has offices in Hobbs and Socorro.
