Heinrich praised her and the local Democratic team for the job they have done in turning Los Alamos County predominately blue. He said a few years ago a map of the area showed a red spot for Los Alamos surrounded by a sea of blue, which is no longer the case, thanks to their efforts, Heinrich said. Photo by Carol A.
