Chandler: Let’s Work Together
By CHRIS CHANDLERDemocratic Candidate
It’s amazing what you learn about your neighbors after knocking on thousands of doors throughout Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Sandoval, and Rio Arriba.

Our state has continued to have among the highest unemployment rates and has participated little in the national recovery from the 2008 recession. Year after year, we provide Read More

Another requires interacting with people who are being served paperwork related to lawsuits, divorce and child custody conflicts. Tuesday is the chance for voters to say who we are confident is worthy of this trust.

Letter To The Editor: How Could This Be … Once Proud Democrat Party Turns Things Upside Down
By VERNON KERRHow could this be? The once proud Democrat Party has turned things upside down. Once upon a time virtue was prized and the party believed in and prized individual thought, individual success, and individual rights.
Now the rules are different, one is guilty until proven innocent as shown in the hearing for Justice Kavanaugh and it is a crime to be a successful businessman when one makes a profit as Steve Pearce has done. Steve has been accused of holding hearings with oil and gas interests and at the same time having some business interests. What possible link is there that Read More

Izraelevitz: Proud Of Service Among The Best People
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZWhat makes for good government? Is it being responsive to local needs and expectations? Is it being fiscally responsible and a good steward of tax dollars? Or strategic planning that moves a community forward? Yes, all these things, but as the campaign season ends and my continued service is in the hands of you, the voters of Los Alamos, I want to talk about the most important component of government, and one that I have been most proud to serve with.

Letter To The Editor: Christine Chandler Will Follow High Standards Set By Jeannette Wallace And Stephanie Garcia Richard
By ANTONIO MAGGIORE
Los Alamos County Councilor
One of the hardest things about public service as an elected official can be to place the needs of the many over what you as an individual may selfishly want for yourself. Endorsing Christine Chandler is, if I’m being honest, for me one of those decisions.
I want to be clear about this, I have no doubts about Christine Chandler being overwhelmingly the best candidate to represent not only the interests of Los Alamos but all of District 43 as a whole. Why do I know this? I have campaigned against Christine, to refresh your memory I lost the primary to her Read More
