| Info | Although this is her first publicly elected position, Commissioner Long is no stranger to public service. Past posts include her appointment to the New Mexico State Personnel Board by then-Governor Suzanna Martinez; president of Lea County Women’s Network; president of Lea County Republican Women, and vice-president, president-elect, president and past president of New Mexico Counties. She currently serves on the New Mexico Counties executive board, as a representative for District 6 to the National Association of Counties and on the Environment, Energy and Land Use steering committee.
Being fiscally responsive with and responsible for taxpayers’ money is one of her main priorities as a commissioner. She is especially proud of being able to help the Sheriff’s Department add eighteen positions to the department and a noise ordinance established in District Two. She also believes that it is important to solve existing problems in a timely manner so as not to leave them for the next team of commissioners.
One of her most important goals entails working with other commissioners across the state to forestall upcoming bills in the state legislature that will be financially devastating to all thirty-three counties.
After graduating from Lovington High School, Rebecca attended West Texas State University, but returned home to Lovington to open her insurance agency at the age of nineteen. She relocated her agency to Hobbs a year later and has been a resident there since. She is also a patent-holding inventor. She and her husband, Steve Matlock, are proud grandparents and she enjoys spending time boating, camping and reading the occasional murder mystery. Commissioner Long is appreciative of her constituents for their support and faith in allowing her to be their representative.
