SCDP Candidate forum for District Attorney in the Sixth Judicial District
The Silver City Daily Press and Independent hosted a virtual forum between the Democratic candidates for the District Attorney in the Sixth Judicial District, which includes Grant, Luna, and Hidalgo counties.
Candidate Michael Renteria gave his opening statement first. He believes the District Attorney's office is a team. "To keep the community safe, let's be honest, we need a leader that's a coach. The office needs a boost." Renteria said he has a new vision and a new energy and is running to bring new leadership to the office.
Norman Wheeler was next. "Tonight what I'm doing is interviewing for a four-year employment contract as the District Attorney. In that job we're going to advocate for victims of crime. I'll explain why I'm the most qualified," Wheeler said. He has already worked in the District Attorney's office as a deputy District Attorney and said he has the right blend of creativity for innovation and experience as a criminal prosecutor.
