Democratic primary voters on Tuesday ousted Wayne Hancock, the commission chairman and District 4 representative, and David Garcia, who represents District 2. Their terms will expire at the end of 2016.<\/p>\n
Democrats nominated Isabela Solis instead of Hancock in a three-way primary. With all voting centers\u00a0reporting, Solis\u00a0had 54 percent of the vote to Hancock’s 36 percent and 10 percent for David Bonner.<\/p>\n
Solis will face Republican William Webb in November, who won his own primary against Roman Jimenez\u00a0on Tuesday with 68 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n
“I am honored that the people of Do\u00f1a Ana County came out to vote,” Solis told NMPolitics.net. “… This win belongs to the people of Do\u00f1a Ana. As they stepped into the voting booth they voted for growth. Growth always precedes change.”<\/p>\n
In District 2, Ramon Gonzalez won\u00a0with 60 percent of the vote to Garcia’s 40 percent. There’s no Republican in the race, so Gonzalez is likely to take office in January.<\/p>\n

“It was a good team effort,” the Las Cruces Sun-News quoted Gonzalez as saying<\/a>. “We had a strong effort from everybody during the month. We were passing out our\u00a0fliers and\u00a0talking to people. I’m very pleased at how it all turned out.”<\/p>\n Alex Cotoia, who ran unsuccessfully against Garcia four years ago, attributed Garcia’s loss to “his own failure to engage the constituency he made a lot of promises to in 2012.”<\/p>\n
