Maggiore: Why I’m Running For Sheriff

by

By ANTONIO MAGGIORE
Candidate for Sheriff

 Dear Los Alamos,

First I want to say thank you to everyone who has already reached out in support of my candidacy for Sheriff. I’m truly humbled and deeply grateful.

One question I keep getting asked is why Sheriff? Why not Council? I will be completely honest, County Council took a lot out of me.

I understand the importance of this job and the specific role it plays in our county. Read More
