Chair
Republican Party of Los Alamos

Dear Friends: 

Diane Denish recently said, “National politics may dominate the headlines, but it’s your local school board that will shape the classrooms, teachers, and opportunities your children see every day.” Please vote Stephanie Galvez for District 1, Tamara Hinckley for District 2, and Bryan Fearey for the UNM-LA Advisory Board.

Uh, “Brad”, that’s a NO. Our Constitution set up a system that is Bottom Up, not Top Down.  

It’s we the Bottom-up’s responsibility to tell the Top how we want our communities to function. Read More
