Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has appointed Martha Garcia to fill the vacant seat in House District 6. The district encompasses parts of Cibola and McKinley counties, including the Village of Milan, the Pueblo of Zuni, and sections of the Navajo Nation.
“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,” said Gov. Lujan Grisham.
The vacancy arose when former Representative Eliseo “Lee” Alcon stepped down last year due to health issues. Rep. Alcon passed away on January 13.
Garcia was nominated by the McKinley County Commission on February 4. She is expected to be sworn in immediately to begin representing House District 6 for the remainder of the current legislative session.
