Letter To The Editor: A Vote For Lisa Shin Is A Vote For Ethics And Integrity
By DONNA MACDONALDWith the news of the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities Board members violating their own rules and NM state laws with travel, meals, and political lobbying, I am proud to support Lisa Shin, a candidate for the NM House of Representatives, District 43. Lack of accountability and corruption in our State Legislature are among the reasons we are at the bottom of every list. A vote for Lisa is a vote for ethics and integrity.
For the many years I have known Lisa, she has approached her work in our community with honesty and dedication. She always strives to do what is right,

Letter To The Editor: Christine Chandler Is For All of Us
By CATHERINE OZMENTWhen I joined Christine Chandler’s campaign team in January of this year, I was hesitant, even a little skeptical. I promised myself I would step back if I decided I wasn’t for her, because I worried maybe she wasn’t for me. As I’ve gotten to know her over the last 10 months, I’ve realized that Christine is for all of us. Even people who disagree with her.
There are a lot of things I like about Christine and her candidacy for state house. She’s smart, and she does her homework. She’s kind and funny and dotes on her dogs. She is dedicated to public service and passionate about Read More
Letter To The Editor: Go Vote For Candidates Who Make Positive Difference Such As Judge Alan Kirk
By Debora GeradsGo Vote, and Go Vote for the candidate who makes a difference in your community. One of those people is Municipal Court Judge Alan Kirk. He has served not only the Los Alamos community, but the State as a whole in his work with juveniles.
Judge Kirk was a founder of the State’s Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee, a committee that emphasizes intervention and prevention of crimes by youth. With his background in law enforcement, including serving the community as Chief of Police, he realized that the way to reach kids is not, make the kids come to us and we will fix them. Rather, Read More

Equality New Mexico News:
Equality New Mexico, the largest and oldest LGBTQ+ political advocacy organization in the state, has endorsed 24 equality champions for the New Mexico House of Representatives – including Democrat Christine Chandler for House Seat 43.
“When Lisa Shin writes things like ‘I am the self-righteous one who views homosexuals with disgust,’ and tells fellow evangelicals to support Trump because he would support ‘biblical marriage’ and strike down marriage equality, it’s clear where her priorities lie,” EQNM Executive Director Adrian Carver said. “But, that’s Read More

Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse OliverHead To Head: Hateful Words And Violent Acts
By BONNIE J. GORDONIn light of the tragic murder of 11 worshippers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh and the bombs mailed to 14 people and a media outlet (CNN) who President Trump has called out as his enemies, I’m going to postpone the discussion of tribal politics and talk about the capacity of speech to inspire violence.
Hate crimes in the nation’s 10 largest cities increased by 12 percent last year, reaching the highest level in more than a decade, according to a report in May by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California Read More
Letter To The Editor: Re-Elect Alan S. Kirk For Los Alamos Municipal Judge
By Rita C. Sánchez I would like to encourage you to vote to re-elect Judge Alan S. Kirk. Alan is running for his sixth term as Municipal Judge in Los Alamos County.

The Governor of New Mexico appointed Judge Kirk to the Juvenile Advisory Council for the Children, Youth and Families Department. During this time, he was instrumental in the establishment of our own JJAB; Los Alamos Juvenile Justice Advisory Board. JJAB focuses on prevention and intervention.
Jude Kirk also was appointed to the National Read More
Letter To The Editor: Christine Chandler’s Experience And Commitment To Dist. 43 Earns My Vote
By KEN MILDEROver the many years that I’ve known Christine Chandler, sometimes we’ve agreed on issues; sometimes we haven’t. Regardless of our viewpoint on any issue, she has always been willing to listen and actively seek other points of view.
Also, through her extensive public service, Christine has gained the skills and experience that are absolutely essential to serve in the legislature and be an excellent state representative for our district.
There are many attributes I look for in a leader. Among them are to first have an open mind, seek broad input and different
Letter To The Editor: Proud Of Our Party & Candidates
By ROBYN SCHULTZ, ChairHow sad it is that we live in a time when partisan politics means partisan news and partisan beliefs. Extreme partisans on the right and on the left tend to live in an echo chamber that only reflects their beliefs. That is why I felt I must respond to Mr. Kerr’s opinion letter of Oct. 31, 2018 (link).
I won’t bother making a point by point critique of his letter. Let’s just say that the “once proud” Democratic Party is still very proud. And I am extremely proud of our local Democratic candidates and elected officials. We seek out local/regional Read More
