SANTA FE — Voters in Public Regulation Commission District 5, which covers all or part of 11 counties in the southwestern part of the state, will select a new commissioner this year. Incumbent E. Shirley Baca of Las Cruces was defeated by Sandy R. Jones in the Democratic primary. Jones will face C. Earl Greer, who finished first among three candidates in the Republican primary. Both men list improving constituent services, and helping people better understand the workings of the PRC as among their top priorities. Jones said it's important to bring services to the people. "We've got to figure out a way to get staff and commissioners in the districts on a regular basis," he said. "It's very difficult for a person in Santa Teresa to drive to Santa Fe to get help, and it just doesn't happen on the phone." Greer said he grew up in Winston, N.M., where a good rain would knock out phone service, and sometimes power.
