housing, wages, and government should serve the people who live here.

  • Too often, and for far too long: decisions about our lives are made behind closed doors for interests other than our own. It’s time to get our voice back.

    I want neighborhood meetings where we discuss & decide together what matters most, and bring those decisions to bare at County Commission. Not me as a commissioner, but us as a District.

    Government should be something we do together, not something done to us.

  • Our community is stretched thin with high rents, rising bills, and too few good-paying jobs. Too much of our money leaves Otero County instead of building up our families and neighborhoods.

    We deserve a budget that works for us — right at the kitchen table — investing in our homes, our small businesses, and our future.

  • Prosperity means more than just getting by — it means building a county where our kids can see a future. That takes affordable homes, fair wages, and communities coming together & coming first.

    The future we want won’t be handed to us — we’ll build it together.

  • We have to expand the County Commission to 5 seats, as is the case for almost every county in New Mexico. Different communities have different problems and different solutions, different histories and different perspectives. Mescalero and Chaparral- two of our most ignored and politically snubbed communities- will have their own County Commissioners. Our own government.

    Its time to say no to ego-driven politics, consolidation of power, family dynasty, and corrupt government. Community and Democracy are far too important to leave in the hands of a few career politicians.

  • We need industry here. Not some billionaire from El Paso padding their yacht fund, not a private firm that requires a decade-long tax break, and certainly not a private prison complex run by a private firm owned by billionaires.

    We need industry that’s ours.

    Otero County energy production- publicly owned and jointly developed between Otero County and Mescalero. Quality, dignified jobs. A robust electrical engineering pipeline at NMSU-A.

    We aren’t lacking in sunshine, and I have been working hard with leadership in the Tribe to develop long-term plans for a Solar Farm coupled with Agriculture. Money in, not money out. Resources by us and for us. Investment for the people and the future of our county.

I’ll see you at your doorstep- and you’ll see me on the ballot this November!

Setting the stage:

Here’s What’s Happening:

Real wages have not kept pace with the cost of living, housing now consumes a disproportionate share of household income, and decisions that maintain this are made behind closed doors at the expense of you, your neighbors, and our entire community.
33.7% of children in Otero County live below the poverty line.

Here’s What we are going to do:

  • Enforce housing standards on negligent and absentee property owners, bring unused or deteriorating units back into service, and expand a public land bank to stabilize long-term housing availability.

  • Align wage standards with local cost pressures, structure county contracting to support fair pay, and create transition support for local businesses so wage growth does not destabilize employment.

  • Align wage standards with local cost pressures, structure county contracting to support fair pay, and create transition support for local businesses so wage growth does not destabilize employment.

  • Structure public investment, workforce training, industry, and infrastructure development so that public funds and economic activity remain in the county and build long-term capacity rather than external extraction.

  • Expand the commission to 5 seats and create a council structure that gives residents regular, formal power to raise issues, review county action, and shape priorities before decisions are made.
