Guadalupe "Lupe" Cano at the Municipal League meeting
"To all my Independent, Republican, and Democrat friends who aren't involved in the local party, I need your help," begins a Facebook post by Town Councilor Guadalupe Cano who is running for mayor in November.
"I wasn't planning to begin my campaign for Mayor until the 4th of July, but events this past week have shown that I need to start being a bit more vocal already. At least 4 "party leaders" have recently spoken out publicly about the need to find someone to run against ME, specifically."

SILVER CITY –A Hot-In-Place Recycling project will begin along US 180 just west of Silver City, NM.
Hot-In-Place Recycling (HIR) utilizes a specialized machine in which 100% of the asphalt in place is recycled. The asphalt is removed, crushed, rejuvenated, and replaced onto the roadway, restoring flexibility and quality of the asphalt material. This process reduces environmental impacts, speeds up timelines and reduces the cost of roadway miles maintained.
Starting, Wednesday, April 2, 2025, traffic can expect lane closures beginning at milepost 87 (Riverside) to milepost 110 (2 miles west of Silver City). A pilot car operation will be in place, please reduce your speed, obey traffic control devices and expect delays. Work will take place Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Construction is expected to be completed by May 31, 2025, weather pending.
