Recently, the Silver City Grant County Chamber of Commerce nominated State Representative Rebecca Dow to receive an award through the state-wide public-policy organization New Mexico First. The awards will be presented June 6 during the 2019 First Forum Lecture Series in Albuquerque at Popejoy Hall on the University of New Mexico campus. It was recently announced that Rebecca Dow will be presented the Spirit of Bipartisanship award during the ceremony. We nominated Representative Dow primarily due to her work fighting for our local mining industry. Congratulations Rebecca!
