House Speaker Javier Martínez: Kamala Harris And Tim Walz Have A Plan For New Mexico Families
By JAVIER MARTÍNEZ
Speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives
(D-Albuquerque)
Growing up, I learned the value of hard work from my parents. I also saw that sometimes, no matter how hard they worked, they struggled to get by. One of the reasons I eventually ran for office was to help make it easier for people like my parents to make ends meet.
I am proud to support Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz this election because they share my passion for helping hardworking families thrive. Vice President Harris and Governor Walz grew up in working families themselves. They understand Read More

Balloon Fiesta: Beautiful southwestern blue skies were present every day during this year’s Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Slightly breezy winds prevented the larger special shaped balloons from flying on some days but it did not prevent them from inflating and remaining on the ground for visitors to enjoy.

Fr. Glenn: The Framing Of A Building
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
You might remember the burning of the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris several years ago. Christian or no, virtually all viewed it a great tragedy—Christians for the destruction of the medieval center of Gallic worship, and non-Christians of the loss of an almost irreplaceable work of art and historical relevance. The storied loveliness of Notre Dame of old was virtually unrivaled.
But have you ever seen the pre-fire underlying framings supporting a cathedral or other structure? Often it’s a mishmash of timbers, wooden or metal supports, nailed and tied together, often Read More

“Jesus was political. Jesus was not partisan.” I so appreciate this understanding of who Jesus was the in world. How many of us function with the “rule” that you are not supposed to discuss politics, religion or sex in “polite” society?

By Sam LeDoux
Española City Councilor
Educator
When I heard the Mayor (Española Mayor John Ramon Vigil) wrote an article in response to my criticisms of his proposed plastic bag ban in the Los Alamos Daily Post, I was hoping to find a well-reasoned and researched disagreement where we could have a substantive conversation about something that would impact our entire community. Unfortunately, as usual, the mayor took criticism of a policy proposal personally and wrote an angry screed filled with personal attacks. anecdotal evidence, and emotional appeals. I usually don’t answer the Mayor’s Read More
