Bio
I was born and raised in Silver City, NM and I retired from the Silver City Police Department as the Deputy Chief of Police after 20 years of service. I also worked for the Grant County Sheriff’s office for close to 4 years. Currently I work for Freeport McMoRan in Human Resources.
I attended Western New Mexico University. I’m married to Julie Reese Ponce and we have a daughter and son, Erika and Christopher Ponce.
I look forward to working with the citizens of Grant County as your Grant County Commissioner District 1.
Thank you!
