Newly elected candidate
Los Alamos County Council
Dear Voters of Los Alamos,
Thank you!
Exactly 8 months ago, way back in March, I declared my candidacy for Los Alamos County Council. At that time, I said it’s important to walk your talk and be the change you want to see in the world.
During my campaign, I’ve emphasized the values of civic engagement and thinking globally while acting locally. It is your Read More

I heard the priorities of many citizens during the campaign, and I want to continue to hear from you over the next four years.
I thank all of the candidates for running. They are all community minded people who presented proposals to address problems or made recommendations Read More
Ozment: Our Obligation To Vote
By CAT OZMENT
Chair
Democratic Party of Los Alamos
In these last hours of the 2022 midterm election, I make a final plea to the thousands of voters in our county who have not yet cast a ballot: please vote. It does not take long, and it is essential to our democracy that you not let other people decide for you.
Did you know that one of the primary causes of low voter turnout on Election Day is the weather? If it snows or rains or is cold, people are less likely to vote. We are, on net, less likely to exercise our precious right to democracy if the weather is unpleasant.
Luckily, it is 60 degrees and sunny in Los Alamos. Read More

It’s hard when a life is cut short and you don’t get to see a young person run the whole race. Here, I want to demonstrate how faith, friendship, community, education, commitment and service – return once again to faith.
I recall when a young family visited a playgroup, I would guess around the year 2000. When a house came up for sale on our block, I prayed to God to please let this nice family with the really nice son buy the house. The nice son, who was Read More

Dr. Cook: What You Need To Know About Diabetes
By GLENDON COOK, MD

Los Alamos Medical Center
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that impacts how your body turns food into energy and causes blood sugar levels to rise to abnormally high levels. As the seventh leading cause of death, diabetes is one of the most common – and dangerous – health issues in the U.S. In fact, more than 37 million Americans have diabetes, and one in five of them is unaware they have it.
Three types of diabetes
There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2 and gestational.
Type 1 diabetes results when your body stops producing insulin entirely. Read More
Home Country: Two More Years
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
Have you been counting the minutes until election day when your neighbors can remove all those campaign signs from their lawns for another two years? Yes, these are mid-term elections, just as serious as the presidential election yet to come two years from now, but not as interesting.
Why not? Because the great candidate Vermin Love Supreme only runs for president and doesn’t mess about trying to be someone’s governor. V.L., who appears to be a bearded cross between Archimedes and Alexander Graham Bell, tends to stand out in a crowd. That is largely because he’s usually Read More
