The new chair of the Democratic Party of New Mexico<\/a> has decided to seek applicants for the position of executive director.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The current director, Matt Farrauto, can reapply, but others can also seek the job.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Party Chair Brian Col\u00f3n announced the job posting in an e-mail Wednesday evening. The job description and more information can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Farrauto has been executive director for 18 months and was communications director for 18 months before that, but it\u2019s not unusual for a new party chair to bring in a new director.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\n

Farrauto said he is considering his options as the search process moves forward.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, even if this job ends today, I think that I (and all the people I\u2019ve worked with over the last three years) will have a lot to be proud of, both personally and professionally,\u201d he wrote in an e-mail. \u201cHowever, I\u2019m not privy to the chairman\u2019s thoughts on the position, nor do I know who he wants to serve in it.\u201d<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

Col\u00f3n couldn\u2019t immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

One Democrat mentioned as a possible replacement is Art Terrazas of Anthony. He\u2019s the son of former Do\u00f1a Ana County<\/a> Commissioner Arturo Terrazas, who had a controversial tenure on the commission.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Art Terrazas has built a strong reputation in the party, however. He is currently vice chair of the Do\u00f1a Ana County Democratic Party<\/a> and was a big supporter of Col\u00f3n\u2019s bid to become party chair. Terrazas worked on the 2004 Kerry\/Edwards campaign.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Terrazas could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
