New Mexico Cheerleader Performs in London Parade
Tucumcari junior Nevaeh Montoya joined Varsity Spirit All-Americans for the televised London New Year’s Day Parade. Coach Jolene Marroquin accompanied her, recalling her own London experience years ago. Montoya earned the spot via a November tryout and impressed organizers, moving to the front row during practice. The 2 1/2 mile route featured ten stops in near freezing weather as Montoya spoke of culture shock and future plans to coach or compete in Hawaii's Pearl Harbor parade.

State law requires 125 signatures or 3 percent of district voters to run. Pirtle must file a candidacy declaration on March 12 with the Chaves County Clerk. Even without the online petition portal, paper signatures can be gathered. Pirtle, elected in 2012, faced a domestic dispute last year and later hinted at retirement before reappearing with a new partner and baby. If he runs, Candy Ezzell of Roswell has declared she will seek the seat in District 58.
