Ty's Take

Grant County's got some Republican write-in candidates in the mix this cycle, which means somebody wasn't happy with the primary lineup—or saw an opening nobody else spotted. Write-in campaigns around here are usually personal, born from somebody's kitchen table conviction rather than party machinery, and that tells you something about how people in this county still think they can shape things on their own terms. Whether it amounts to anything depends on whether those candidates can get their names in front of voters who've already made up their minds, or whether they're running on principle alone. Either way, it's worth paying attention to who's unsatisfied enough to go to that trouble.

Las Cruces Daily Digest Sunday, May 24, 2026

Ty's Take There's a particular weight to a Tuesday morning when the paper leads with the names of people who won't be around to read it. George Jackson made it to seventy; Paul Lawrence to eighty-four—both solid runs in this valley where the
