1A. How long have you lived in Silver?
My family moved to Silver City in 1971, and started Silver City Plumbing and Heating. I left for NMSU after graduating from Silver High, and worked in other states. I returned in 1990.
2. What do you like best about Silver City?
I love the rolling hills, the tall pine forests, and the high scrub desert. Plus I appreciate the Victorian feel of downtown, the coolness of the Big Ditch Park, and the opportunity for outdoor recreation. Silver City is one of America's best small towns!

The Silver City Town Council held a regular meeting October 14, 2025. Attendance to the meeting included Mayor Ken Ladner, Mayor Pro Tem Guadalupe Cano, and Councilors Nicholas Prince, Rudy Bencomo and Stan Snider.
Proclamations
The town proclaimed November 9-15, 2025, National Nurse Practitioners Week. Ladner read the proclamation. Patients depend on more than 431,000 licensed nurse practitioners (NP) in the United States to diagnose, manage and treat their chronic and acute health conditions. More than one million visits a year have been made to NPs. This honors and recognizes their contribution.

In the Gila Regional Medical Center courtyard, Chief Nursing Officer Ron Green awarded the annual Daisy away to this year's winner. Green said they received 67 nominations out of the over 100 nurses in the facility. The nominations included almost half the nursing staff at 44 names.
Green presented the history of the award, which was created by the family of Patrick Barnes, who was treated for 8 weeks for an autoimmune disease that finally took his like. His family was able to spend most of their time with him in the hospital and saw how wonderful the nurses were. Patrick's parents created a foundation to recognize outstanding nurses in hospitals all over the world. More information can be read at https://www.daisyfoundation.org/about-us#MV
Traditions include Daisy cookies, and cinnamon rolls, which Patrick asked to have during his hospitalization, and always insisted that the nurses also receive cinnamon buns. The award comes with the recognition certification, as well as a basket of goodies, but the special part of the award is a small statue carved by a sculptor in an African nation. This yea, the sculptor lives in Zimbabwe.

1A. How long have you lived in Silver?
Born in Santa Rita, but have lived in Silver for the past 32 years.
2. What do you like best about Silver City?
Silver City is my home, and I love it here.
3. Least?
Nothing.
4. Why did you decide to run?
I saw a need for positive change to help our citizens have a better life.
5. What is your top priority if elected?
I have three that I consider top: 1. Public Safety, 2. Our Economy, and 3. Infrastructure
6. With the recent controversy about funding the Stonegarden grant, are you for or against continuing it
I do not oppose Stonegarden which is a grant acquired by the County and has been around for a long time. The small portion the Town of Silver City receives, states exactly what the funds are allocated for. I support applying and receiving any outside assistance to better serve and protect our community.
7. How is your working relationship with local law enforcement?
