Tuesday: Lt. Gov. Denish Starts Phase 2 of Roundhouse on the Road Tour

Lt. Governor Diane Denish will embark on her second Roundhouse on the Road Tour on Tuesday, July 29, from her Albuquerque office. Last week she concentrated on the Eastern part of the state, and this time she'll travel more than 400 miles, visiting seven towns in just three days in south central New Mexico. Denish will hold constituent meetings inside a Tourism Department bus and stop at selected local destinations to make sure she hears from New Mexicans in their own communities. See below the break for her schedule.

“The first tour was a great success. We heard from many people with ideas and concerns and I look forward to addressing each of them. I am eager to continue the Roundhouse on the Road Tours and look forward to hearing more of what the people have to say and what they are concerned about. Getting out on the road and talking with folks helps me better serve all the citizens of New Mexico,” said Lt. Governor Denish.

Check out some newspaper coverage of last week's initial Roundhouse on the Road trip in the Clovis News Journal and Albuquerque Journal. Excerpt:

... Denish said the east-side trip refreshed her awareness as an elected official. "I think a lot of times people in small communities feel isolated and like no one cares," Denish said. "I really identify with their work ethic and their ability to come together. But it's good to be reminded of it. "Every time I go home," the 59-year old Hobbs native said, "I grow up a little bit more."

"She's very refreshing," said Pauline Clark, a retiree who once served as Roosevelt County treasurer. "I think people are tired of those polished politicians that are full of hot air."

Gotta love that last comment.
