Senator Wirth, Representative Egolf

State Senator Peter Wirth (D-Santa Fe) and State Representative Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe) have scheduled two neighborhood meetings with residents of their districts. The first will be Tuesday, August 30th, at the Hondo Fire Station at the intersection of Old Las Vegas Highway and Highway 285 near the Eldorado exit, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. The second will be Thursday, September 1st, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center in the Lamy/Peralta Rooms.

“With the population growth in the state, the boundaries of Santa Fe’s state legislative districts are going to change. Certain proposals also change representation on the Public Regulation Commission for residents in Eldorado. We look forward to input from our constituents on the various redistricting plans,” the legislators said.

Senator Wirth and Representative Egolf have made district meetings a regular part of their legislative duties, and both underscore their importance.

“These meetings are one of the most important things we do,” Egolf said. “They are a way for us to better understand individual and neighborhood concerns, while discussing the best way to proceed on legislative issues.”

Wirth represents State Senate District 25. Egolf represents State House District 47. Since their districts overlap, they work together whenever possible in addressing issues of concern to Santa Fe residents.
