Doña Ana County launches Spanish-language social pages to reach residents
Summary
Doña Ana County announced new Spanish-only social media pages, citing that nearly half of county residents speak Spanish at home, and urged people to follow "Doña Ana County Español" and share the video; the county did not provide a specific percentage or source for the claim.
Unidentified Speaker, a staff member with Doña Ana County, announced the county has launched new social media pages that will be published exclusively in Spanish to better reach residents who use Spanish at home.
“¿Sabían que casi la mitad de los residentes que viven aquí en el condado de Doña Ana hablan español en el hogar?” the speaker said, using that assertion as the rationale for the new pages. The speaker said the pages were created "exclusivamente en español este año nuevo" and are intended "para informarlos e incluirlos en todo lo que está pasando aquí en nuestro condado."
The speaker urged residents to follow the account "Doña Ana County Español" and to share the video with friends and family to expand reach. No additional details were provided about the pages’ content schedule, staff responsible for Spanish-language outreach, or any metrics or sources supporting the "casi la mitad" statistic.
The announcement was limited to the short video message and did not include a timeline for additional Spanish-language services or an opportunity for questions. No formal action, vote, or implementation plan was recorded in the transcript.
Doña Ana County did not provide contact information or a source for the demographic claim during the recorded remarks; the percentage referenced was not specified beyond the speaker’s description of "casi la mitad."
