Letter To The Editor: Vote For Pete
By SUSAN O’LEARY
I recommend Pete Sheehey as best qualified to serve Los Alamos County in the State Legislature.
I support Pete for several reasons. First, he’s service oriented. He gets that serving in government means working for actual people, not simply engaging in policy debate. He knows that the job of our legislator is to achieve results that improve our community. He’s demonstrated that philosophy in the hundreds or thousands of decisions he’s made over the past decade as County Councilor and Planning and Zoning Commission member.

Santa Fe Reporter Endorses Christine Chandler For House District 43
Christine Chandler
POLITICAL News:
The Santa Fe Reporter this morning endorsed Christine Chandler in the Democratic Primary for New Mexico House of Representatives, District 43:
“Chandler seems to be the kind of strong, thoughtful leader the district is used to in Garcia Richard. Her opponent shares many of the same policy positions, but not in the same articulate way that Chandler puts forward. Her active listening skills are much more developed, and her approach as an attorney and her experience working as an analyst for the Senate Judiciary Committee for four of the last five sessions should Read More

Shin: Why I Support School Vouchers
By Lisa ShinDuring the candidate forum May 15 at the Kiwanis Club, Kiwanian Paul Cunningham said education is a critical issue for the state, has failed to improve over the last many years and asked if we had any ideas on how improve it, without more cost to the taxpayers.
I answered that I am a strong proponent of parents having the final say when it comes to their children’s education. And I definitely support a voucher system. Consider that the CYFD offers an excellent program that gives direct help for parents who want to put their kids in a pre-K program. And the Read More
Letter To The Editor: Christine Chandler Will Work Hard … And Smart For Us In House District 43
By KELLY and STEVE MYERS We would vote for Christine Chandler just based on her education, training and experience alone, but she offers so much more to her constituents in New Mexico House District 43.
Christine is incredibly intelligent and we need brains in our state government. Her legal experience is extensive, working in the legal department at Los Alamos National Laboratory, serving as Los Alamos County Probate Judge, working as a legislative analyst in Santa Fe and Washington, D.C. and leading Los Alamos County as an elected County Councilor, serving in the late 90’s and early Read More

Letter To The Editor: Stephanie Garcia Richard Most Qualified To Be Land Commissioner
BY KARYL ANN ARMBRUSTERThere is no doubt that Garrett VeneKlasen is a conservationist: that is his job. Yet what experience does he possess to be our Democratic candidate for state Land Commissioner?
Has he ever been active in the Democratic Party? A ward chair/delegate? Walked/called for candidates? He has never voted in a school bond or school board election, so how much does he care about education for NM children? What is his experience working with the Legislature? Has he worked with the entire state’s budget? Interestingly, only a small
