State Rep. Jenifer Jones will meet with Hidalgo County residents for district office hours at Lordsburg City Hall, giving walk-in help on Medicaid, SNAP and other state matters. The session will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, June 25, at 305 Pyramid St. in Lordsburg.

The office hours are set up for residents who need help with state agency concerns, unemployment claims, job searches, state taxes, fees and related issues. That makes the meeting more than a ceremonial appearance: it gives people a chance to raise problems face to face, especially when paperwork, delays or missed calls have slowed down help from state offices.

Jones represents New Mexico House District 32, which includes Doña Ana, Hidalgo and Luna counties. The New Mexico Legislature lists her as a Republican and a registered nurse, and says she has served in the House since 2023. Ballotpedia says she assumed office on January 1, 2023, and that her current term ends on December 31, 2026.

The timing also gives the event added political context. Ballotpedia says Jones was on the ballot in the Republican primary on June 2, 2026, but the Lordsburg office hours are framed as constituent service, not campaigning. For Hidalgo County residents, that distinction matters: the purpose is to solve problems tied to state government, not to stage a rally or a press event.

Lordsburg City Hall is listed by the city as open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Hidalgo County lists the building at the same 305 Pyramid St. address. The setting reflects how local government often works in a rural county like Hidalgo, where a short trip to City Hall can be the most direct way to reach a state representative’s office and ask about a stalled benefit, a tax notice or a claim that has gone unanswered.

The county website also points to other public-service access in the area, including Hidalgo Hope Haven, which houses the Income Support Division, the New Mexico Department of Health, WIC and the Recovery Management Center. Jones’ office hours fit that local pattern, putting state help in the same kind of hands-on setting residents already use for public assistance and basic services.
