New Mexico Roots

Harlan Vincent is a Christian conservative member of the Republican Party who cherishes faith, family, and personal responsibility. He was born in Clovis, NM, where he worked cattle before moving to Ruidoso. Harlan served Lincoln County for 25 years as a fireman and EMT before retiring as the Village of Ruidoso Fire Chief. Harlan now lives in Lincoln County, where he and his wife of 32 years, Rhonda, raised a son and a daughter and have two grandchildren that are their greatest blessings.

In Harlan’s free time he is a hunting guide and enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family doing these activities. Therefore, Harlan is an active and lifelong member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and believes in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms

Throughout their years of marriage and raising children, Harlan worked multiple jobs so his wife could be available full time for their family, and in 1993, they forged their own American Dream by starting a small business, Flash Paving and Sealcoating which is still a viable business today. As an entrepreneur, Harlan understands how challenging the climate can be for business owners in New Mexico, and he will support economic development and jobs by promoting tax policies that adhere to the Constitution.

Harlan’s values, work ethic, and integrity have been passed on to his children and have made him a pillar in his community and a strong voice for District 56.
