Picacho Hills Candidate Forum

Please join us for the Picacho Hills Candidate Forum for our slate of primary candidates for local and
regional New Mexico public offices. All candidates in competitive races for the offices of the US House
of Representatives (District 2), Secretary of State, Commissioner of Public Lands, County Commissioner
(District 1), County Sheriff, and County Assessor have been invited and are expected to participate in the
forum. All of these offices have more than one candidate for one or both parties running, making the
primary a must win for most of them.

The event will take place on Tuesday, May 19th at the Picacho Hills Country Club, 6861 Via Campestre,
Las Cruces starting at 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. It is open primarily to residents of the Picacho Hills
community.

Dr. Christa Slaton, NMSU Professor of American Politics, and Walt Rubel, former editor of the LC Sun
News and Political Commentator, will act as moderators for the forum. Candidates for the various
offices will be given a opportunity to briefly introduce themselves followed by questions from the
moderators and the audience. The format is designed to maximize the opportunity for interaction
between the audience and the candidates.
