The Las Cruces Sun-News continued its profiles of upcoming city council races today, taking a look at the District 5 contest between incumbent Gil Jones and challenger Gill M. Sorg.
“It’s experience vs. independence,” the article’s headline states.
From the article:
“Jones’ underlying theme in his re-election bid is his four years of experience serving on the Las Cruces City Council and his knowledge of the community, where he has lived for the past 37 years.
“‘I benefit from a wealth of experience in several areas including knowledge of our historical challenges, a career in the business world and four years on the city council,’ said Jones, 49. ‘As such, I understand the scope of our issues and the challenges associated with addressing them.’
