\"\"<\/a>Karen Trujillo<\/a>, a real-estate broker and president of the Hispano Chamber of Commerce de Las Cruces<\/a>, announced today that she is running for the open District 6<\/a> seat on the Las Cruces City Council<\/a>. <\/p>\n

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

Trujillo<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s top goal, according to a news release from her campaign, is to bring a moderate voice to a council she says is often divided.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cThe city council has a responsibility to keep the benefits to all Las Crucens in mind when making decisions,\u201d she said. \u201cFor example, growth is necessary, but when voting on growth there so many elements that have to be considered to include the city\u2019s resources, infrastructure and strategic plan. I want to focus on preserving Las Cruces<\/st1:city><\/st1:place>, the \u2018Cruces\u2019 we all love.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

\"\"<\/a>Trujillo<\/st1:city><\/st1:place> joins former Do\u00f1a Ana County Magistrate Judge Patrick J. Curran and Lawrence Joy<\/a>, the owner of a direct mail advertising firm and the voice of NMSU\u2019s marching band, in the race, and others are considering running. The special election is being held Jan. 15 to replace Ken Miyagishima<\/a>, who was elected mayor earlier this month.<\/p>\n

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

Candidates will file to run on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

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

Trujillo<\/st1:city> said she also stands for \u201cstrong local businesses, responsible growth, steady prosperity and, most important, a passion for Las Cruces<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.\u201d She has already been talking with residents while gathering the signatures required to run.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cI\u2019ve had a lot of positive feedback,\u201d she said. \u201cIt seems we all have the same concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

Trujillo<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> is a member of a number of other community boards.<\/p>\n
