WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. (September 10, 2024) White Sands Missile Range leadership hosted Lieutenant Governor of New Mexico Henry C. "Howie" Morales and members of the New Mexico Military Base Planning Commission during a visit to tour the facilities on post.
Upon arrival, the WSMR command team and Las Cruces city leadership welcomed the visitors at the WSMR Headquarters building where the local and state leaders held a meeting discussing infrastructure priorities for the range.
After the office call a tour was held at White Sands School where Morales viewed the facility in depth with the WSMR command team and White Sands School Principle James Dickerson where they discussed goals and priorities for the school’s facilities. The visit ended with a working lunch held at the Frontier Club.
“In my role as Chair of the Military Base Planning Commission, we make an effort to go and visit the different issues we have in the state mostly to provide support, assistance, and to collaborate in ways that we can promote and to show New Mexico values in all of our military bases and installations here in the state. This visit is especially important to me as an educator and recognizing the needs that are out there. It was really nice bringing in the White Sands Missile Range, county, school district, and city leadership here to find ways that we can assist to hopefully in this case really bring this school’s infrastructure up to current standards,” said Morales.
Morales fulfills his constitutional and statutory duties by serving as President of the New Mexico Senate, Acting Governor when Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is out of the state, providing constituent services, and by serving as a member on several boards, commissions, and councils. He also serves as a statutory member of the governor’s executive cabinet.
