NM Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham | governor.state.nm.us
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has appointed Martha Garcia, a former Cibola County Commissioner from Pine Hill, to the vacant seat in House District 6. This district encompasses parts of Cibola and McKinley counties, including the Village of Milan, the Pueblo of Zuni, and sections of the Navajo Nation.
The governor expressed confidence in her choice: “I’m proud to appoint Martha Garcia, whose proven leadership as a former Cibola County Commissioner and clear qualification as a district resident make her the right choice to serve the people of House District 6.”
The vacancy arose last year following the resignation of Rep. Eliseo “Lee” Alcon due to health issues. Alcon passed away on January 13. Garcia was nominated by the McKinley County Commission on February 4 and is expected to be sworn in immediately to represent House District 6 for the remainder of the current legislative session.
