Chandler: I Pledge My Life, My Fortune, My Sacred Honor…

By GEORGE CHANDLER
Democratic candidate
Los Alamos County Assessor

The last time I ran for office in Los Alamos was in 1994. Most things are different now. Even walking the streets is different – used to was I’d just get up and go into a neighborhood and knock on every door until I was on the verge of collapse or had to pee. Today the Party provides me with an online list of “likely voters” in a walkable neighborhood (with GPS tracking), the voters selected by an algorithm as likely to vote for me. Then I knock until on the verge of collapse or, well, you know.

Turns out though that the lists are not up to date Read More

Stradling: Cosmetic Nuisance Code – A Distraction Or The Killer Issue?

By GARY STRADLING 
Republican Candidate
Los Alamos County Council

Dr. Lisa Shin was mocked as a distraction during this election for publishing a letter about our egregious nuisance code (link).

But she is right. 

I listen to the residents as I knock on every door of nearly every neighborhood in my own White Rock and in Los Alamos. (I hope to reach them all by Election Day!)

The second most frequent question I get is about the county Nuisance Code: Section 18 of the County Code. Across the community, many people: residents in beautiful homes, with landscaped well-manicured yards, residents with Read More

Havemann: Elections, Civics And Democracy

By SUZIE HAVEMANN
Democratic Candidate
Los Alamos County Council

“Thank you for being here; it shows you care about our community and are civically engaged.”

This is how I have prefaced all my speaking opportunities during my campaign for County Council. My parents taught me the value of being informed, volunteering, and voting; therefore, civic engagement is important to me.

I think Los Alamos, the state of New Mexico, and our country are all better off when we all have the opportunity to participate in our governance. So, it concerns me that instead of working to make it easier for more people Read More

Los Alamos Daily Post

With the colder temperatures, the stocking of rainbow trout will soon shift to Southern New Mexico, as water temperatures will be cool enough for trout to survive. The stockings will continue into early spring. Tingley Beach in Albuquerque Read More
