Message from the Mayor


As Mayor of Socorro, it is my personal and public goal to continue to make Socorro a great place to live, work and raise a family.  We are continuously improving the quality of life in our small town for the enjoyment of both our citizens and our visitors.

Once you experience our attractions and events, you'll find yourself deciding to stay a little longer, and you'll be glad you did.

-Mayor Ravi Bhasker
