Ellen Wedum -- photos

Juneteenth in Roswell. Ellen with pooch Bitsy, Shirley Simon and Lee Harrell, and District 58 candidate George Peterson with
wife Melissa.

"Ellen will bring to the legislature her knowledge and experience as a project engineer and chemistry instructor, and her courage to stand up on the tough issues New Mexico faces -- schools, water, health care, and economic development."

-Diane Denish
Lt. governor of New Mexico

"The family wasn't home, but this fine old dog
gave me a dignified greeting."

"It's just a few miles up the Arabela Highway that
you discover its secret--these fine views of the back of Capitan."

"While congratulating myself on not breaking an axle on one steep
and rutted (that's an understament!) driveway, I stopped
to take another photo of Capitan."

"It was the end of the paved road, and though there were more voters
ahead, it was getting late so I headed back to Cloudcroft."

"Special Mother" Madrid spoke about her law firm's representation of victims of the Exxon-Valdiz oil spill, which has finally been heard by the Supreme Court, and her work on the DNC Platform and Resolutions committee.

Another event attended by Ellen on May 10 was the 56th annual Fiesta de Hondo. Here are two of the student dancers in a colorful performance, which took place in the Hondo Schools gymnasium.

Children start practicing their dance steps early! This was a great family-oriented event.
