District 6 Las Cruces City Councilor Sharon K. Thomas was re-elected today.
Thomas won with 1,444 votes, or 55 percent, to the 1,201 votes, or 45 percent, that went to challenger James W. Harbison. That’s according to unofficial results obtained by NMI and includes tallies collected from receipts posted on the doors of all five polling places in the district and early and absentee voting.
Thomas could not be reached for comment, but Harbison confirmed that the race “is over.” He said he’s called Thomas to concede the race but has been unable to reach her.
“The voters have spoken. I don’t understand their vote but I respect their vote, and that’s all I can say,” Harbison said.
