LEGISLATIVE CONVERSATION AND SOCIAL SET

Each year, the LWVSNM hosts a meeting with area legislators to discuss potential bills and laws that will be proposed in the upcoming Legislative session.  The event in 2024 will be Saturday, Dec. 7 beginning at 11:30 a.m. at the DACC Workforce Center, 2345 Nevada Ave.  There will be approximately eight of Doña Ana County’s legislators in attendance.  Co-hosting the event will be the Las Cruces Chapter of the American Association of University Women and the Doña Ana County chapter of NAACP.  Persons interested in attending must RSVP by Dec. 2 at lwvsnm@gmail.com.

Legislation that LWVSNM is considering to advocate for includes education, health care, and water conservation. In addition to the luncheon and conversation with legislators, tickets will be available at the door to participate in several raffles for items donated by local businesses.

THANK YOU VOTERS!

On behalf of the League of Women Voters of Southern New Mexico, I want to thank each and every individual who voted in the Nov. 5, 2024 General Election.  The Secretary of State reports that more than 66% of New Mexicans (nearly 915,000 people) went to the election polls or cast an absentee ballot. Click here to see the election results. Regardless of the outcome for any given candidate, Constitutional Amendment, Bond Issue, or local tax, LWVSNM, a non-partisan organization, is proud of the efforts that many individuals made to promote the election and the opportunity to vote.  If you read our Voter Guide, please take the survey below.  As always, this League will continue to empower voters and strengthen Democracy.

—Jo Galván Nash, President, LWVSNM
