Dona Ana County

We hit the road at 1:30 this afternoon to attend the Dona Ana County Democratic convention. The ride down to Las Cruces was great, but windy. I have to say that all the rest areas we have stopped at recently have been very clean and well kept. Congratulations to Rhonda Faught and her workers at the Department of Transportation.


This is Carl Garica and Joyce Armijo. Carl was one of my constituent services specialists at the Mayor's office. He is taking this three day trip through the south with me. He is one of the nicest guys I have ever known. He still works for the city and is responsible for a lot of innovative programs in the zoning enforcement department. His latest program is the removal of junked cars at no cost from yards and businesses. Joyce Armijo is the sister of Jeff Armijo, candidate for Auditor. She is everywhere on this campaign. Jeff and Joyce have relatives everywhere we go.


The convention was very high tech and well run. Each candidate was given 2 minutes to say a few words and the timekeeper was efficient. We head off this morning for Deming for some meetings and then north to Silver City for a meeting tonight. I hope the museum in Deming is open today. It is one of he best in he state. I haven't visited it since the 90's, so I hope it is still functioning.
