Representative Candie Sweetser (D-Deming) DEMING – The New Mexico House of Representatives supported a bill to help fund services in small communities throughout the state.

Representative Candie Sweetser said, “I am proud to sponsor House Bill 163, to provide services for the state’s small and rural communities to aid them in meeting the needs of their residents.
House Bill 163 passed the House floor and now heads to the Senate for consideration.
